The 'Singles Day Vinyl Series' from Urban Outfitters redefines collectible music for a new generation, merging nostalgia with contemporary artistry. Launching in celebration of Singles Day—one of the brand’s most anticipated annual events, the 2025 collection positions vinyl as both a cultural artifact and a statement of personal style.
Headlining the release is Wicked: For Good – The Soundtrack, featuring two original songs performed by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, pressed exclusively for UO in a 'Transparent Glitter' edition. With its debut approaching later this month, it’s expected to be among the season’s most coveted vinyl records.
Rounding out the series are 10 limited-edition singles from artists such as "Addison Rae, Tate McRae, Miley Cyrus, The Weeknd, The Marías, and Britney Spears, each in a UO-exclusive colorway." Additionally, a 'Singles Day Giveaway' will reward the 1,111th entrant with all eleven titles and a 'UO Holiday Gift Bag.'
