Queen lead the way when it comes to vinyl record sales in the Republic of Ireland.
The iconic British rock group rule the list of the Top 50 best-selling vinyl albums of 2019 so far. Their Greatest Hits collection ranks at Number 1, while their Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack lands at Number 10. Fellow music icons Fleetwood Mac impact at Number 2 as their seminal album Rumours still proves popular with the Irish public.
The best-selling 2019 release belongs to Billie Eilish at Number 3 on the YTD rundown. The 18-year-old’s debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? spent six weeks atop the Official Irish Albums Chart, spurred on by her popularity across all formats, including vinyl. Billie’s Don’t Smile at Me EP has also sold well on wax and occupies the Number 5 slot. Combining both releases, no other act has sold as many vinyl albums so far in 2019 than Billie.
