On Amazon Australia, more than half of the top ten best-selling records were first released before the turn of the century and only two of the top ten were released this decade.
Pop legends the Beatles take the number one spot and Nirvana features twice on the top ten best-selling records list. Other artists to appear are the White Stripes, Amy Winehouse, David Bowie, Pearl Jam and home grown, Tame Impala.

“It is interesting to see that Australians are opting for records over CDs, and indeed predominantly records that would be categorised as nostalgic,” said Alvaro Prieto, our Head of Media. “Whether chosen for quality of sound or because of the hipster trend to opt for vinyl, we are pleased to see the continuing popularity of vinyl.”
