NATIONAL ALBUM DAY BOOSTS U.K. MARKET
10/24/24

The U.K. albums market enjoyed a boost on National Album Day this past weekend (10/18-19), with vinyl LP sales rising 17% over the previous week and 42% over the prior Saturday, according to data from the Official Charts Company.

The increase is thanks to around 50 reissues exclusively released to tie in with this year’s theme of Great British Groups.

National Album day titles accounted for one in every five albums bought and just over half of the 40 biggest-selling vinyl titles in the Official Vinyl Chart over the weekend.

Those titles included The BeatlesA Hard Day’s Night (Apple Corps), Take That’s Everything Changes (Sony), Suede’s Dog Man Star (Demon Music Group) and self-titled albums by All Saints (Warner Music U.K.) and The Specials (Chrysalis), all of which appeared in the Top 10.

The seventh edition of the annual event is dedicated to celebrating the "art of the album" and encouraging engagement with the format. It’s organized jointly by record label trade body the BPI, and ERA, the U.K.’s digital entertainment and retail association, in partnership with BBC Radio 2, and the wider music industry.
