It was reported last week that Urban Outfitters were the world's biggest vinyl outlet. Billboard, with an impish twinkle in their eye, took it upon themselves to trash that notion entirely.
The US publication smashed six inch nails into the coffin lid of UO's claims with these savvy numbers:
"A Billboard analysis shows that Amazon is the largest seller of vinyl in the U.S., with about 12.3% market share, followed by Urban Outfitters with 8.1% market share."
Sorted. It proved a wildly unpopular statement, and, now, we can all rest a little easier at night.
