“#Taylor Swift shatters vinyl sales record with ‘Evermore’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s another record-breaker for Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n

The pop superstar charted a new peak in modern-era vinyl sales \u2014 as more music fans turned to vintage records during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The vinyl edition of Swift\u2019s album \u201cEvermore\u201d shattered the US record for largest vinyl album sales in a single week, according to Billboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It sold more than 40,000 copies just three days after its May 28 release \u2014 already surpassing the biggest single-week sales record since MRC Data began tracking in 1991.<\/p>\n

The title had previously been held by Jack White\u2019s \u201cLazaretto,\u201d which sold 40,000 copies in the week after it launched in June 2014.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s likely sales of \u201cEvermore,\u201d Swift\u2019s ninth studio album, will continue to soar through the end of the tracking week on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old singer\u2019s chartbusting comes amid a broader vinyl comeback. <\/p>\n

Sales of vinyl LPs and 45s grew 23 percent in 2020, from the year prior, according to data released<\/a> by the Recording Industry Association of America in February.<\/p>\n

It also marked the single-largest year for US vinyl album sales in MRC Data history, with 27.54 million copies sold, Billboard reported.<\/p>\n

Once the dominant format for music listening, vinyl albums\u00a0began losing app<\/a>eal in the late 1980s, with cassettes\u00a0reigning up until the \u201990s, before CDs took over.<\/p>\n

The return of vinyl coincided with the rise in music streaming since the early 2010s, according to Forbes<\/a>. Fans seemed to want to actually own physical albums, instead of just downloading or streaming music.<\/p>\n

The pace of vinyl sales growth began to take a nosedive again in 2016, before picking back up last year, the report said.<\/p>\n

Fans also appear to be turning to newer releases, instead of sticking to old-school favorites like Pink Floyd\u2019s \u201cDark Side of the Moon\u201d and\u00a0Michael Jackson\u2019s \u201cThriller.\u201d<\/p>\n

For her part, Swift teased sales of her vinyl record on Instagram<\/a> the day it dropped, by quoting lyrics from her song \u201cIvy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cClover blooms in the fields\/spring breaks loose\/the time is near,\u201d she wrote along a photo of herself lounging on grass with the vinyl record. \u201cEVERMORE ALBUM VINYL IS OUT TODAY!! You can get it at your fav indie record store, Target, Walmart & Amazon \u2728 and if you\u2019re feeling even more generous, go ahead and stream it too! That would be cool!\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
