In 2021, the top-selling vinyl album in the United States was Adele's "30" with 318 thousand Vinyl albums sold. Recent data shows that vinyl record sales in the U.S. have been experiencing a period of constant growth since 2007, and such albums are not reserved only for older, more established artists. In fact, whilst the top ten ranking of best-selling vinyl albums of 2020 was largely comprised of music released prior to 1985, established artists from the last decade and newcomers like Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift or Adele dominated the 2021's vinyl top ten with their albums.
