These days, vinyl collecting is assumed to be the penchant of music-obsessed Gen Yers after a more ‘authentic’ experience; it’s meant to sound warmer and more dynamic than any digital recording. But new data suggests it’s actually Xers who are driving sales, in part because of nostalgia.

Vinyl sales in the UK increased by 69% between 2014 and 2015, leading the Official Charts Company to launch a bespoke vinyl chart. And now, thanks to Tesco, the nostalgic format isn't just being played in the homes of hipsters, but on the record players of any supermarket shopper.

While CDs and MiniDisc players might be relegated to the technology dustbin, as people choose to buy or rent digital files rather than spend money on physical music, vinyl records have experienced a resurgence. And it's being fuelled largely by music fans under the age of 35.

From Spotify to Apple Music, online music streaming services are winning over listeners as physical music formats decline in popularity. By offering a more streamlined way to listen to a variety of music all in one place, Britons streamed over 1.5 billion tracks over a single week in December 2017.
