Back in 2011, I created a thread over at the Steve Hoffman Forum on the "Resurgence of SACD". It's an ongoing thread, currently at 49 pages. You can see it in the below link:

Some members here may have seen the thread, or may have even participated in the discussion over at SHF. However, I want to bring the discussion over to this forum too since we have many SACD enthusaists on this form as well.. Btw, I am putting this topic on this particular forum since stereo SACD are majority of the new SACD releases; this is not a diss of multichannel SACDs.
Well, here's a recap of the first 6 months for 2019.....
As of July 1, there are 12,994 SACD titles listed on hraudio.net. The year 2019 began with 12,710 titles. Therefore, there is an increase of 284 new SACD titles at hraudio.net for the first 6 months of 2019. Keep in mind that this total doesn't include the latest Dutton Vocalion SACD releases.
There are an additional 60 new SACD titles (at least) released in Hong Kong since the beginning of the year. July and August of each year usually see a wave of new SACD releases in HK ahead of the annual high-end audio/video show (in August), but recent political demonstrations may have put a damper on the atmosphere this year.
Anyway, a total of 344 new SACD titles released worldwide for the first 6 months of 2019. This compares favorably to previous years' total despite the popularity of streaming and retreats from the mass market by Oppo and Marantz.
It is certainly very far from thie below thread:
