>>> THE GRAMMY AWARDS POSTPONED
FROM JANUARY BY COVID WILL BE
HELD TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES.
BEYONCE LEADS THE WAY WITH NINE
NOMINATIONS, MAKING HER THE MOST
NOMINATED WOMAN IN HISTORY.
BY THE LOOK OF RECORD SALES
LATELY, IT APPEARS MANY OF
BEYONCE'S FANS AND FANS OF MUSIC
IN GENERAL ARE LISTENING ON
OLD-FASHION VINYL.
A RECENT NOSTALGIC TREND HAS
BECOME A FULL-FLEDGED EXPLOSION
DURING OUR LONG YEAR AT HOME.
MOLLY HUNTER HAS MORE IN OUR
SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT.
>> Reporter: MUSIC SOOTHS THE
SOUL.
AND OVER THE PAST YEAR, WE FOUND
IT OR IT HAS FOUND US IN ALL
FORMS, FROM NEW ORLEANS, TO NEW
YORK, TO PARIS, TO LEBANON AND
EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN.
>> THERE'S A NEW NEATHEORY.
INTERACT WITH THE ENVIRONMENT.
MUSIC GIVES US THAT.
>> Reporter: THIS DOCTOR IS AN
AWARD WINNING COGNITIVE
PSYCHOLOGIST, NEUROSCIENTIST,
AUTHOR, MUSICIAN AND RECORD
PRODUCER.
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME
CHEMICALLY IF I'M LISTENING TO
REALLY FEEL-GOOD TUNES?
>> THE EMOTIONAL CENTERS OF YOUR
BRAIN, IF YOU LIKE THE MUSIC,
ARE RELEASE ING OPIOIDS.
>> Reporter: WE ARE GETTING OUR
FIX THE WAY MY PARENTS DID.
THAT'S RIGHT, GOOD OLD VINYL.
IN THE U.S., 2020 WAS THE FIRST
TIME VINYL EXCEEDED CD SALES
SINCE THE 1980s.
JOE SAYS IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS WHY
NOW.
>> THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT 20
MINUTES OF MUSIC, ONE SIDE OF AN
ALBUM, TELLS A STORY.
YOU DON'T GET THAT FROM A CD.
IT GETS LOST.
>> Reporter: YOU CAN'T JUST HIT
SHUFFLE EITHER LIKE SO MANY OF
US DO WHEN STREAMING MUSIC IN
THE BACKGROUND.
IN 2019, AMERICANS BOUGHT 18.8
MILLION VINYL LPs.
IN 2020, 27.5 MILLION.
VINYL SALES HERE IN THE UK WERE
UP ALMOST 10%, SURPASSING THE
$100 MILLION REVENUE MARK,
MAKING IT THE BEST YEAR SINCE
1990.
THAT'S WHEN NEW KIDS ON THE
BLOCK TOPPED THE CHARTS.
LAST YEAR, FLEETWOOD MAC'S 1977
HIT "RUMORS" WAS NUMBER ONE.
NUMBER TWO WAS OASIS FIRST
RELEASED IN '95.
BOTH IN THEIR 30s, SAM AND
JOHNNY JUST RELEASED THEIR FIRST
LP, BOTH HAVE RECORD COLLECTIONS
AT HOME.
IT'S A RITUAL THEY SAY IS
GROUNDING, ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW.
>> IT'S A CAREFUL PROCESS OF
SQUEEZING THE SIDES, LIFTING IT
UP, POPPING IT ON, GETTING THE
SPEED RIGHT, LIFTING THE NEEDLE
CAREFULLY, MAKING SURE YOU GET
IT RIGHT ON THE FIRST TRACK.
THAT NEVER GETS OLD.
>> Reporter: FOR THE RECORD,
INDUSTRY FOLKS SAY ONCE
LISTENERS GET A TASTE, REPEAT
CUSTOMERS ARE PRACTICALLY A
GUARANTEE.
>> IT'S ALL AN ADDICTION.
YOU GET ONE AND YOU LOVE IT AND
YOU WANT TO GO BACK AND GET
MORE.
THEY ARE LIKE, I GOTTA GET MORE.
I GOTTA FIND MORE.
>> Reporter: NO PHONE, NO
SHUFFLING AND NO
