HMV overtakes Amazon to become the UK's biggest seller of physical music

18 Jan 2015 • engadget.com

As a result of cost-cutting measures, HMV was forced to sell its iconic Oxford Street store and place a renewed focus on what made it popular: selling music. It certainly seems like it’s paid off, because the company has just reclaimed the number one spot as the UK’s biggest seller of physical music, overtaking Amazon in the process. CityAM reports that the company’s vinyl sales reached their highest level in over 20 years, jumping 170 percent over the past year.

What is up with this resurgence of vinyl? Am I missing something?
