Abba, Adele or Andre Hazes. You can listen to it via Spotify, but of course also on a wonderfully nostalgically creaking gramophone record. And it is not that old-fashioned at all, because the sale of vinyl is increasing, according to figures from the trade association. What do you think: nothing beats a good LP? And do you still prefer to buy your records on vinyl or do you prefer to listen online?
The Dutch music industry grew by 11 percent in 2022. This is evident from figures from NVPI Audio, the trade association of the entertainment industry. Most of the turnover comes from streaming, which is also the most important source of income for the Dutch industry.
Vinyl popular
But especially the popularity of vinyl is striking. In 2022, its turnover increased by more than thirty percent to 37 million euros. In short: the group of people who enjoy playing records on the gramophone player at home is growing.
