Are Younger Music Fans starting to Choose the CD over Vinyl? Is it Price, Quality or Convenience?

Are Younger Music Fans starting to Choose the CD over Vinyl? Is it Price, Quality or Convenience?
The new Lewis Capaldi album is the biggest selling album in the UK so far this year and it has been propelled into the number one position with a surge of 58,421 CDs next to 18,308 vinyl albums.

I love ALL FORMATS, but if these figures had been the other way around the press would have been doing it's usual the CD format is over etc.

Recent Stats
Lewis Capaldi - CD Sales 58,421 - Vinyl 18,308
Ed Sheeran - CD Sales 41,122 - Vinyl 8,124
Metallica - CD Sales 15,873 - Vinyl 6,292

Now Spinning Magazine supports all formats but I feel this is further good news for the CD format.
We all know the music business has changes and that physical music sales make up about 14-16% in the UK of total sales but within that the CD and Vinyl formats are both important and valid to all fans of physical music.
