More and more, it seems music lovers are turning to an analog system to hear their favorite albums, with vinyl records making a reappearance as the go-to way to listen to music now that CDs have been overtaken by streaming.
In Arizona, the most popular vinyl record is “Stick Season” by New England folk rock singer Noah Kahan, with the state being one of nine to choose the 27-year-old Vermont native’s third album as their go-to vinyl record.
With April 20 serving as Record Store Day and the continued rise in popularity of records, BetArizona.com took a break from Arizona sports betting and utilized Google Trends to find the vinyl record most searched in each state over the last 12 months (April 2023 to April 2024).
