On Saturday, independent record stores across the U.S. marked the annual Record Store Day celebration, featuring special vinyl releases, live performances, and a giant block party in Nashville. The event celebrates the enduring popularity of vinyl records, with revenues surging by 10% in 2023 to $1.4 billion, primarily driven by Taylor Swift’s releases. Swift’s latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ did not have any announced Record Store Day specials, but her previous records have helped ignite a new interest in vinyl among collectors.
