Since the universal commercialization of the CD in the 80s, vinyl records have lost importance and soon disappeared. However, the tables have changed: after 34 years , vinyl already sells more than compact discs in the United States, 232,1 million euros against 129,9 million, as noted by the Association of Recording Industry of the United States (RIAA) for the first half of 2020. However, this second youth is not only experiencing vinyl on American soil, but it is is also testing in other countries such as Spain, where is the vinyl already accounts for 40% of physical music sales.
