ten years after their introduction, the share of unit sales for lps in the us was almost 25%, and of dollar sales 58%. most of the remainder was taken up by the 45; 78s accounted for only 2% of unit sales and 1% of dollar sales. for this reason, major labels in the united states ceased manufacturing of 78s for popular and classical releases in 1956 with the minor labels following suit, with the final us-made 78 being produced in 1959.
