Taylor Swift helps UK music sales hit a new record for the first time in TWO decades
Levels of UK music consumption have hit an all-time record beating the previous pinnacle of twenty years earlier, new figures have revealed.
Driven by the success of streaming services and the revival of vinyl sales, the 'equivalent' of 201.4 million albums were sold last year, passing the earlier record that was set in 2004 during the 'CD boom'. This success was driven in part by top performing artists like Taylor Swift, whose The Tortured Poets Department release was the top-selling album of the year, with 783,820 sales.
