Olivia Dean, Lola Young, and a wave of fast‑rising British artists have helped drive the UK’s recorded music market to its highest level on record, with new figures showing the industry hit £1.57 billion in 2025.
They were joined by breakthrough names such as Skye Newman, Sienna Spiro, and EsDeeKid. Long‑established acts, including Oasis, also played a major role in pushing the sector into its 11th consecutive year of growth, according to new data from the BPI.
