You can confirm this by looking at the color for vinyl. In the late 1980s, vinyl tapered off to next to nothing as CDs replaced records. When you look at the chart, vinyl is still that thin black line at the very top. There is no way that vinyl outperformed CDs and everything else all along. There are currently no record stores in my town. Vinyl is dead. But it's still at the top in the chart.
