Taylor Swift Becomes Best Selling Vinyl Artist Of The Decade

-

Taylor Swift has broken records for selling the most vinyl records in the past decade, beating legendary David Bowie, Adele and ABBA, DailyMail reports.

 

The singer, 35, has dominated the UK charts with her three best-selling albums Midnights, 1989 (Taylor's Version) and The Tortured Poets Department.

According to The Sun, new figures show Taylor's three albums - all in the space of three years - have topped the official vinyl chart.

 

Her 2022 album Midnights had a staggering 129,000 sales, while her other two fall close behind.

For many people, vinyl might seem like an outdated blast from the past.

But the retro listening format is in the midst of a revival - with a staggering 6.7 million discs sold in the UK last year, generating an impressive £196 million.

The demand also saw ABBA, Harry Styles and Ed Sheeran rise up in the charts. 

As well as Taylor, Adele, and Billie Eilish have all jumped on the trend, releasing multiple, expensive physical variations of the same albums. 

 

Taylor Swift last released new music in 2024 on her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.

Taylor Swift put on a brave face in February after she walked away from the 2025 Grammys with zero wins despite earning six nominations.

 

However, Taylor Swift won big at the star-studded iHeartRadio Awards last month.

The singer-songwriter received the Tour of the Century award for her worldwide Eras Tour, which is the highest-grossing concert tour of all time. 

She accepted the honor via a pre-recorded video.

During her heartfelt speech, Taylor Swift revealed she has been doing a lot of reflecting since wrapping up her career-spanning tour, which kicked off in March 2023 and ended in December 2024.

'I really can't tell you how much this means to me because this — on behalf of my tour mates, all my fellow performers, my band, everyone who toured with us, our crew — is actually the two-year anniversary of the first show of the Eras Tour,' she shared.

'So I've been doing a lot of processing since I've been off the road these last few months.'

'People often say that sometimes the greatest challenges in life end up being something you're so proud of or end up being the most gratifying feeling in the end, if you can rise to the occasion,' she continued.

'And this tour was absolutely the most challenging thing I've ever done in my life. It's a 3.5 hour show, more shows than I've ever done on tour.'

She added: 'To the fans, you made these songs from the last couple decades into what they became so that we could do a 3.5 hour setlist.

'You had the passion and generosity to care about traveling to see us on tour in all these places all over the world.

'It blows my mind. I'm never going to stop being grateful for it. And I appreciate this more than you know.'
