Six charts of the same RIAA and RIAJ figures that sit behind our data pages, packaged as one line of HTML each. They render as plain SVG with no script, so they survive a strict content-security policy and load on a bad connection. Free to use, including commercially, under CC BY 4.0 — the source line in each widget is the only attribution required.
Each widget is a live page on our server, so when RIAA publishes next spring your embed updates itself. The figure, its measure and its source stay attached to the picture, which is the part that usually gets lost when a chart is screenshotted.
No script
Server-rendered SVG inside an iframe. Nothing to whitelist, nothing to break.
No tracking
The widget sets no cookies and loads no third-party asset.
Always attributed
Every widget carries its measure and a link back, so a reader can check it.
The full 53-year arc in inflation-adjusted dollars, with the 1978 peak and the 2005 floor marked. The one chart that shows why "record year" and "record year" mean two different things.

Both crossovers on one axis: the year the CD passed vinyl, and the year vinyl passed it back. Computed from the series, not repeated from press coverage.

Vinyl, cassette, CD and streaming on one axis. Each peak is lower and narrower than the CD’s, and only vinyl rises twice.

The revival in proportion rather than in dollars: vinyl was most of the American music industry in the 1970s, and is a single-digit slice of it today.

The world’s largest physical-music market, pressing more records every year since 2020. Production shipped by producers — not retail sales.

A single figure with the context that keeps it honest: the nominal record, and what it is worth against the 1978 peak. Sized to sit inside a paragraph.

Every data page publishes an oEmbed endpoint, so a CMS that supports oEmbed discovery — WordPress, Ghost, Notion and most editors — turns a pasted URL into the chart on its own. Paste the page address into a block and it resolves; no HTML needed.
