But the trend may be far bigger than the industry previously believed. \u201cSoundScan only gets about 15%,\u201d Vince Slusarz, the owner of top vinyl manufacturer Gotta Grove told the New York Times. Here&#8217;s why:  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-more\">Last year, 2.8 million vinyl records were sold in the United States, according to Nielsen Soundscan, and saleas this year could be 40% higher. But Soundscan uses bar codes to track sales; and, \u201cthe majority of the stuff we press, it doesn\u2019t even have a bar code,\u201d according to <a href=\"http:\/\/gottagrooverecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Slusarz<\/a>.  Add that to the fact that a lot of vinyl records are sold at independent record stores, gigs and on niche web sites and its not hard to see  that the vast majority of vinyl sales goes unreported. <\/p>\n<p>If Slusarz 15% estimate is even close to accurate, vinyl sales could top 20 million this year.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Billboard<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The jump in vinyl sales &#8211; both for audiophiles and for fans who just love&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1060\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
