Vinyl Sales Hit $1 Billion In U.S. Revenue Last Year

Vinyl has had 19 years of consecutive growth in the U.S., selling nearly 47 million copies last year according to the RIAA's year-end report.

Vinyl's resurgence has reached a new milestone, as vinyl revenue surpassed $1 billion in revenue in the United States in 2025, the RIAA reported in its annual year-end report published on Monday.

Overall, vinyl sales grew about 9.3 percent year over year, the RIAA said, with overall units sold rising from 43.4 million to 46.8 million. That's a sharp contrast to other legacy listening formats like CDs and digital downloads, whose revenues dropped by 7.8 percent and .8 percent, respectively. And while some record store owners and collectors have expressed concern about vinyl getting consistently more expensive - the average price of a mint vinyl record grew 24 percent to $37.22 from 2020 to 2025, per Discogs — so far, the data shows that hasn't lead to waning demand yet.
