Sales of vinyl records increased by 7.9 percent in the United States year over year, increasing from 43.4 million units moved in 2024 to 46.8 million units in 2025. That pushed revenue from $954.4 million to $1.043 billion. One thing fueling that growth was the release of Taylor Swift’s Life of a Showgirl, which moved 1.6 million vinyl units alone, and also the corresponding lift in the vinyl sales for the rest of her catalog. Crossing a billion dollars in revenue is impressive. For perspective, overall streaming revenues were $9.5 billion, meaning that physical vinyl of all things is coming in at around nine percent of the entire Recording Industry Association of America’s recorded music revenue picture.
