Number of sales: CD vs LP

One of my friend recently told me that the overall sale of LPs surpassed CDs. Can it be true? I thought he was joking, but somehow he was serious.
Well, MP3s and music download certainly has not helped to boost the CD sales, but I think the overall LP sale is still a fraction of CD sales.

Anyway, I've seen steady increase in used LP sales. I could get decent ones at $1~3 about 6~7 years ago, but now it is more like $3~6.

LP's are supposedly outselling "other" silver disc sales, such as DVD A, SACD and HDCD (specialty high performance formats).

I don't know where I read that or if it's true but your friend may have confused that with CD sales data.
