With more than 800 million people subscribing to a music streaming service, wireless speakers have become a familiar sight in homes.(随着超过8亿人订阅音乐流媒体服务,无线音箱已成为家中的常见景象。) But expect to get reacquainted(重新熟悉) with a different object to play music soon: the CD player, once consigned to obsolescence(被弃置为过时之物), is back.
随着超过8亿人订阅音乐流媒体服务,无线音箱已成为家中的常见景象。但很快,你将重新熟悉另一种播放音乐的设备:曾被弃之如敝屣的CD播放器,如今卷土重来。
John Lewis report that searches for CD players are up 96% since July, possibly owing to(由于,因为) students heading to university and buying the systems for their rooms. The £79 Crosley Voyager, and the £129 Pure Classic C-D6 are both sold out(售罄) online, with the Voyager scheduled to return in October. Portable CD players are also popular.
约翰·刘易斯百货报告称,自7月以来,CD播放器的搜索量上涨了96%,这可能是因为大学生们即将入学,为宿舍添置这类设备。售价79英镑的Crosley Voyager和129英镑的Pure Classic C-D6在网上均已售罄,其中Voyager预计10月补货。便携式CD播放器也很受欢迎。
This tallies(符合,一致), of course, with sales of CDs themselves. A report this year found that the growth of CD sales is up 16%, compared with vinyl’s 2.4%. HMV reports that sales of CDs are up 10% year on year(同比(与去年同期相比)) – thanks to artists often providing unique content on the format. “K-pop has been a massive driver(巨大的推动力), with BTS(韩国防弹少年团,引领K-pop复兴) the most obvious example of artists that have led the resurgence(复兴,复苏),” says the managing director, Phil Halliday. “But it goes much wider than that. We’re seeing very strong CD demand around artists like Olivia Rodrigo, Ariana Grande and Olivia Dean.”
这自然与CD本身的销量相吻合。今年的一份报告发现,CD销量增长了16%,而黑胶唱片仅为2.4%。HMV报告称,CD销量同比增长10%——这得益于艺人经常在该载体上提供独家内容。“K-pop一直是巨大的推动力,BTS是引领这股复兴潮流的艺人中最明显的例子,”总经理菲尔·哈利迪说。“但范围远不止于此。我们看到奥利维亚·罗德里戈、爱莉安娜·格兰德和奥利维亚·迪恩等艺人的CD需求非常强劲。”
