Description
CDs went from “Wait... people still buy those?” to cool again.
RIAA data shows U.S. CD revenue jumped 58.5% in the first half of 2026, and Tony van Veen thinks young music fans are a big part of the story.
They’re affordable, easy to collect, and for plenty of younger drivers, that old CD player in the dash still comes in handy.
And at Disc Makers, the fastest-growing CD packaging format right now? The old-school jewel case.
