The 31-year-old's third album, which was released in February this year, has sold 53,000 copies this year according to the Official Charts Company, beating Swift's Lover (Live From Paris) (2023), which sold 46,800 vinyl copies in just one week in 2025 after a January reissue. Fender saw the biggest opening release of his career with the album, which was also named the fastest-selling vinyl album of the century by a British artist when it sold 43,000 copies in its first seven days on sale. Lover (Live from Paris) became Swift's 13th UK number one album back in February, overtaking Madonna to become the female artist with the most UK number one albums.

(10). Following Oasis's return to the stage in Cardiff last week, their 1994 song Whatever has been named as the best selling single of 2025, after it saw a 30th anniversary reissue in February this year on pink and blue splatter vinyl. After the re-release the song reached number one on the Official Vinyl Singles Chart for three weeks in March, and back into the Top 40 of the UK singles chart for the first time in nearly three decades. The rest of the top five is made up of Taylor Swift and Post Malone's Fortnight (two), Oasis's Some Might Say (three), Guess by Charli XCX featuring Billie Eilish (four), and Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild (five). The top 10 was rounded off by Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club (six), Alok and Kylie Minogue's Last Night I Dreamt I Fell In Love (seven), Lola Young's Messy (eight), Fontaines DC's It's Amazing To Be Young (nine), and The Killers and Bruce Springsteen's Encore At The Garden (10).
