No way are LPs outselling cds, wavs, mp's, etc. The ratio used to be 1:1000 or thereabouts.
I had some stats fm a few yrs ago and actually posted them on A'gon -- but can't find them now.
Generally, LPs are outselling other small production items such as dvd-a & sacd as Albert notes.
Much of the sales volume comes from the pro sector (DJs) and 45rpm is making a "come back" of sorts srevicing that market.
Value and volume-wise, there seemed to be no stats regarding the used LP business -- apparently, it's quite large in volume but not in value I'd expect.
Overall, the GOOD news is that the business values are sufficient to warrant continued interest from vinyl producers -- so please, all, do buy the odd LP every now & then:)!
