Many have attributed releases from ABBA, Adele and Ed Sheeran for the increase.

2021 has seen a boom in UK vinyl sales as almost a quarter of the albums bought this year (23%) were on vinyl.

Vinyl sales in the UK surpassed five million for the first time since 1991, thanks to albums by Adele, ABBA, and Ed Sheeran- BBC reports.

ABBA’s ‘Voyage’ was the biggest seller. It was the fastest-selling vinyl release of the century, shifting 30,000 copies in its opening week.

Sales are up 8% over 2020, marking the format’s 14th straight year of growth.
