Ambassador Award 2023 - KUJU Studio from Kosovo for the "Best Art Production of the Year"

Attention post officers: Never deliver vinyls on a rainy day!! 📦☔❌

It's a rainy day here in Gjakova. I was going somewhere. While i was walking in the rain, under my umbrella, i remembered when the post officer decided to deliver the Rihanna - Loud vinyl i got for my friend Rina Ferati, on a rainy day. We're both Rihanna fans so, i wanted to surprise her on her birthday with a Rihanna vinyl.💛😊  I ordered the vinyl at Juno Records in UK. It takes one month for vinyl to get here via Royal Mail.  I waited one month. Of all the sunny days, the vinyl arrived on a rainy day. I don't remember if the package had the "Keep Dry" Label on. I wonder if it occurred to the post officer that the vinyl would get wet. He could've waited for the rain to stop pouring or deliver the vinyl on a sunny day, I was freaking out. Lucky for us, the vinyl didn't get wet. 😅 "Now that it's raining more than ever..." - Rihanna Since that day, i've been resonating with Rihanna's Umbrella more than ever!

For the first time in over 30 years, vinyls are outselling CDs in America

According to the RIAA's mid-year report, vinyl has overtaken CDs to become the most dominant physical format for the first time since the 1980s.  Last year, the Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA) mid-year report suggested that CD sales were declining three times as fast as vinyl sales were growing.  In February, the RIAA reported that vinyl sales accounted for more than a third of the revenue coming from physical releases.  Despite vinyl only accounting for four percent of total music recorded music revenues, the RIAA's mid-year report reveals that vinyl sales contributed to 62 percent ($232 million) of the $376 million physical sales in the first half of 2020.  Despite vinyl’s growth, streaming still dominates the music industry — records accounted for just 4 percent of total revenues in the first half of 2019.
