Taylor Swift and Record Store Day see highest weekly vinyl sales in 30 years

Record Store Day and Taylor Swift.The report was shared by digital entertainment and retail association ERA, which confirmed that one week last month saw the sales of vinyl records reach a new high in recent years.It was the week that Record Store Day (April 20) took place that the figures marked the highest in 30 years, as countless music lovers flocked to both physical and online stores to purchase physical copies of their favourite releases.As well as seeing lots of exclusive releases from musicians, Record Store Day also happened to take place one day after pop icon Taylor Swift shared her latest album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, which immediately topped the charts, took over social media and shifted over 2.6million copies in the US alone.Thanks to both, data from the Official Charts Company has shown that the week saw 269,134 vinyl albums and 37,656 vinyl singles sold – making for a total of 306,791 units.The figure is the highest out of any week on record since week five in 1994, when the current statistics began.‘The Tortured Poets Department’ alone accounted for just shy of a quarter of the week’s total vinyl album sales (24.7 per cent), and many of these were sold at independent shops as part of Record Store Day.Similarly, Music Week reported that sales of vinyl albums exclusive to independent record shops as part of Record Store Day 2024 made up approximately 37.2 per cent of the vinyl albums market.“Indie record shops were first to realise that the growth of streaming would paradoxically provide an opportunity for the most physical of physical formats, and vinyl has sat at the heart of Record Store Day’s celebration of indie record shop culture since 2008,” Kim Bayley, CEO of ERA, said in a statement
