Initiatives like National Album Day and Record Store Day help the independent sector to ensure its place at the cutting edge of music.

     Summary of the decade: 2010 – 2019

The physical format remains remarkably resilient and still accounts for a fifth of music consumption.

Vinyl and cassettes have rebounded with both registering a 2,000 per cent rise since their low points in 2007 and 2012 respectively.
