Harry Styles Harry’s House HARRY STYLES’

HARRY’S HOUSE continues to rule as both the year’s topselling album in the United States across all formats (607,000 copies sold through Sept. 29, according to Luminate) and bestselling vinyl release (359,000). In the latest tracking week, the set sold 7,000 copies in total (No. 10 on Top Album Sales, up 18%) with vinyl making up 4,500 of that sum (No. 5 on Vinyl Albums, up 23%).

In total, nine albums have sold at least 100,000 vinyl copies in 2022. At this point a year ago (week ending Sept. 30, 2021), 14 albums had accomplished the feat, with Taylor Swift’s evermore standing then as the top seller (177,000). Ultimately, 2021 ended with 35 releases surpassing 100,000 in vinyl sales, led by Adele’s 30, with 318,000.

Notably, year-to-date vinyl album sales stand at 28.55 million, up just 0.9% from 2021 (28.3 million in the week ending Sept. 30, 2021), which closed with 41.72 million vinyl albums sold, marking a gain of 51.4% from 27.55 million in 2020. Last year also marked the 16th in a row that vinyl album sales grew and was the largest year for vinyl album sales since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991.

With 12 weeks left in the 2022 tracking year, remaining hot-selling vinyl albums due out include the wide release of Beyoncé’s Renaissance (Oct. 7), Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Return of the Dream Canteen (Oct. 14), a deluxe edition of Vince Guaraldi Trio’s A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack (Oct. 14), Taylor Swift’s Midnights
