Top 10 Albums of 2025 I Picked Up On Vinyl - Best New Music on Record!

It’s that time of year again when all the year-end lists start dropping and this is one of my favourite videos to make. I’ve already covered my Top Vinyl Reissues of the Year, but this video is all about new music released in 2025, and the albums that made enough of an impact on me that I had to pick them up on vinyl. From indie rock and synth-pop to jazz-infused singer-songwriters, spoken word, and modern pop, this list reflects the best new albums of 2025 that lived on my turntable throughout the year. Before getting into my Top 10, I also shout out a few honourable mentions, albums I loved streaming but haven’t picked up on vinyl (yet). If you’re into vinyl collecting, new music discovery, or year-end album lists, this one’s for you. Let me know in the comments what your Albums of the Year were, and if any of these made your list. 👉 If you enjoyed this video, check out my Top Vinyl Reissues of the Year—it’s been getting a lot of love from the vinyl community.
