No, you can’t have your old industry back.  Here are the latest, year-to-date sales figures for 2012, which show a 3.2 percent decline in year-over-year album sales in the US.  That follows a relatively flat 2011, widely touted as a recovery but more realistically a result of insane Adele sales and heavily-discounted catalog releases.

The better news is that digital formats continue to grow, both in terms of digital albums and a-la-carte singles.  Vinyl growth may be slowing, but is still showing double-digital percentage gains.

Here’s the US-based breakdown for the first half of this year, shared by Nielsen Soundscan.
