Vintage Vinyl's Top 50 Best-Selling CDs and Top 25 Best-Selling LPs of 2008

Vintage Vinyl just released its list of best-selling LPs and CDs of 2008. (Physical product? Remember that?) Interesting to see how many local releases -- and how much hip-hop/R&B/rap -- is on the CD list, while how much old (and new) indie rock is on the LP list. Looks like you kids are downloading albums by the new rock bands for free, eh?

It would be nice to know which vinyl albums were reissues and which were original pressing. I assume that Abbey road and the Animals were all reissues but what about the others?

Some people (read me) might not know what's being reissued, etc. I am rediscovering music and vinyl and would love more information.

I believe its the red album unfortunately, i've never seen the blue album on vinyl in the store.

Dare I ask which of Weezer's albums entitled "Weezer" that is that stands at #24 on the Vinyl list?

I don't believe I bought a single one of these titles, at least not at Vintage Vinyl in 2008.
