“New research from music sales data company Luminate sheds new light on what actually happens to this vinyl after it’s been purchased.

In the company’s recent “Top Entertainment Trends for 2023” report, Luminate found that “50% of consumers who have bought vinyl in the past 12 months own a record player, compared to 15% among music listeners overall.”

Naturally, this also means that 50% of vinyl buyers… don’t own a record player.“

Not my problem

Rather someone without a record player buy a vinyl than someone only buying it to resell it

Nerds

It’s about the drip

I don't, don't got the set up I'd like for one yet, but will get one once that's established

your favourite rapper went platinum selling interior decorations

They probably buy funko pops too

If I was a woman this would be a red flag for me

that’s gay

I will never love anyone more than I love Ye

That’s their problem I got mine

Nigga ain’t got no type of pride 😂

You sure do, Mr. President

at least game and movie collectors actually keep the devices needed for their stuff around should they decide to use it

i just think it’s a bit odd and wasteful to buy vinyls without any desire of buying a record player

This is not a flex lol

Ye fandom is a disease

Not a flex, more like gratitude and appreciation

I aint got no worries

i kinda get it bcuz physical media is so nice to appreciate, almost like buying a print or something, and you get to support the artist.

plus actually getting the best sound quality out of vinyl that it can provide takes a lot of tedium and research that most ppl don't hav the attention span for, especially when streaming exists.

but at the same time if u hav a collection how do u not want to spin it at least occasionally.
