Almost a million vinyl albums were sold in the U.S. during the week before Christmas — the highest weekly tally since at least 1991. The 973,000 records purchased by American music fans during the period meant that old-fashioned LPs comprised 31% of all physical music sold for the week. Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, The Beatles, Queen, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks, Taylor Swift and Fleetwood Mac all generated robust sales as music lovers seeking out tangible gifts help fuel what is becoming a veritable sales boom.
