This is The Indicator from Planet Money.
I'm Darian Woods.
And I'm here today with music reporter Justin Barney from Member Station WNXP in Nashville.
Welcome, Justin.
Thanks for having me, Darian.
What have you been listening to?
Darian.
The kind of stuff I'm on you wouldn't understand.
I'm listening to Kendrick Lamar.
Of course you are.
I've been a big fan since Good Kid Mad City, but of course he's done a lot since then.
Yeah, his new album GNX is flying off the shelves, selling close to 100,000 copies on vinyl recently.
That is a lot of vinyl.
We've covered on the show before how there was this big vinyl shortage a few years ago.
So it was a disaster and named the great vinyl shortage.
Well, good news today.
The vinyl shortage is over.
Hooray!
And that is largely due because of one company based in a small village in the Czech Republic that has come to dominate the vinyl manufacturing industry.
