The production of 45 RPM records began to decline in the late 1970s and early 1980s with the rise of cassette tapes and later CDs. While 45s were gradually phased out, they were never officially discontinued by the industry as a whole. However, their popularity dramatically waned by the 1990s, and most mainstream labels stopped producing them by the early 2000s. Some independent labels and artists still release 45s today, primarily for collectors.
