The best-selling vinyl albums and singles of 2025 so far have been revealed, with Sam Fender, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga among the names listed. Check it out below.
When it comes to vinyl albums, it is Newcastle singer, songwriter and guitarist Sam Fender who has topped the list thanks to his massive third album ‘People Watching’. Released in February, the record landed the biggest UK opening week for a British act since Harry Styles‘ ‘Harry’s House‘. It also marked Fender’s biggest-ever opening week, selling more units than 2019’s debut ‘Hypersonic Missiles‘ and 2021’s ‘Seventeen Going Under‘ combined.
On the charts, it is closely followed by Taylor Swift’s ‘Lover (Live From Paris)’ record, which was originally shared in 2023 but had a resurgence earlier this year thanks to a heart-shaped 2LP vinyl variant that came in time for Valentine’s Day.
Rounding out the Top Five are Sabrina Carpenter with her hit album ‘Short N’ Sweet’, Lady Gaga with her recently released LP ‘MAYHEM’ and former NME Cover Star Chappell Roan with her breakthrough record ‘The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess’.
Others that made the list were Fontaines D.C. with ‘Romance’, Manic Street Preachers with ‘Critical Thinking’, Billie Eilish with ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’ and FKA Twigs with ‘EUSEXUA’. Check out the list below via Official Charts.
