The CHART! Here are our year-end charts of the best-selling titles of 2011 at Grimey's. CDs and vinyl are separate for these charts and vinyl formats are LPs unless otherwise noted. This is the first year that vinyl overtook CDs in total sales (both new and 'preloved') so I've flipped the script and listed the vinyl chart first and may just continue doing that into 2012. Here's to another great year of selling great music to the best customers in the world! The Best-Selling Vinyl titles of 2011 at Grimey's: 1. Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues 2.
