The record gave Styles his biggest opening week on vinyl of his career, with over 66,000 sleeves sold in its first seven days. It also racked up the biggest first-week vinyl album sales for a UK artist this century, surpassing Sam Fender’s ‘People Watching’. ‘Kiss All The Time…’ marks the singer’s third UK Number One album.
Styles is followed in second place by Olivia Dean and her acclaimed second LP, 2025’s ‘The Art Of Loving’. The album peaked at Number One in the UK, and bagged the Album Of The Year award at the BRITs 2026.
Gorillaz‘ latest record, ‘The Mountain’, comes in at third place, after earning the cartoon band their third UK Number One album last month. The star-studded ‘Help(2)’ charity compilation for War Child – featuring Arctic Monkeys, Fontaines D.C., Pulp and many more – is at Number Four, ahead of Fleetwood Mac‘s classic ‘Rumours’ in fifth place.
The rest of the top 10 best-selling vinyl albums in the UK this year so far is made up of Lily Allen‘s ‘West End Girl’ (Number Six), Sabrina Carpenter‘s ‘Man’s Best Friend’ (Number Seven), Charli XCX‘s ‘Wuthering Heights’ (Number Eight), Geese‘s ‘Getting Killed’ (Number Nine), and Arctic Monkeys’ 2013 record ‘AM’ (Number 10).
Topping the vinyl singles list is RAYE‘s smash hit ‘Where Is My Husband!’ from her second album ‘This Music May Contain Hope’. It has sold 14,600 copies to date on vinyl.
The track was the first UK Number One of 2026, also topping the official vinyl singles chart twice this year. ‘Where Is My Husband!’ was recently announced as the most-downloaded song of the year so far, too.
RAYE makes a second appearance in the rundown with ‘Nightingale Lane’ at Number Five. She is joined in the top five by Taylor Swift‘s ‘The Fate Of Ophelia’ (Number Two) and ‘Opalite’ (Number Three), and Sam Fender and Olivia Dean’s ‘Rein Me In’ (Number Four).
Dean features again at Number Six with her hit ‘So Easy (To Fall In Love)’, followed by Chappell Roan‘s ‘The Subway’ at Number Seven. Rounding out the top 10 is The Prodigy‘s classic ‘Firestarter’ – which was reissued to mark its 30th annivesary – (Number Eight), Kneecap featuring Sub Focus‘ ‘No Comment’ (Number Nine) and December 10‘s ‘Run My Way’ (Number 10).
