 2 Years ago I would have agreed. But it's all changing. 
  
 5 years ago it took sales of 75,000 to hit the top 10 
 Now it takes 4000. 
  
 Record companies are always looking to reduce cost. My money is on vinyl 
 being kicked out. Most promo's here are cd based now - very little vinyl 
 save for the odd bootleg. Even the hardened DJ's are becoming 
 'multi-skilled' if you like. 
  
 Ironically it's the one format that is not 'cloned' or 'copied' and offers 
 physical safety (sure you can record it to mp3 as we do but you can't make 
 another 12'' of a 12'' easily). 
 It's ace to work with (I spent years with it) but it's cost will kill it 
 soon. But don't quote this post in five years time......
