Old songs now represent 70 percent of the U.S. music market. Even worse: The new-music market is actually shrinking.

The best-selling physical format in music is the vinyl LP, which is more than 70 years old. I’ve seen no signs that the record labels are investing in a newer, better alternative—because, here too, old is viewed as superior to new.
