Physical singles may be losing the war against digital formats, but the U.K. market has found an unlikely hero to lead the fight: good old-fashioned 7-inch vinyl.
Fueled predominantly by independent labels and alternative groups like Arctic Monkeys and Kaiser Chiefs, the format--also known as a 45 in its pre-'90s heyday--is experiencing a mini-revival in the United Kingdom. In recent years, labels have increasingly added limited edition versions of 7-inch singles to their armory, which are targeted at indie rock consumers as trendy collectibles.
