Pink Floyd, CD - Vinyl Formats & New Release News

Author: Phil Aston January 16, 2026 Duration: 18:39

In this episode of Music Biz Chat, I look at how Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here returned to Number One — 50 years after its original release — and what the sales breakdown reveals about vinyl, CD, Blu-ray, and physical music today.I also discuss recent industry comments from Proper Music’s Drew Hill and question the idea of a “CD vs vinyl” battle, and explains why most music fans happily buy both formats.Plus: a run-through of major upcoming box sets and reissues, and a look at what’s been spinning at Now Spinning HQ.
