National album day 2020

Everyone can celebrate National Album Day.

There are lots of ways for to celebrate National Album Day, from hosting album listening parties, going record shopping with friends, attending live album playbacks or just rejoicing in your record collection and telling us all about the albums you cherish and love.

The Eighties is the theme for 2020, exploring the long voted the UK’s favourite music decade that has inspired future generations It’s hard to believe the era began 40 years ago!

There are many benefits of taking time out to listen to an album from start to finish. Not limited to chillout or relaxation genres – simply letting your favourite albums be the antidote to the fast-paced and hectic lifestyle of the modern world!

This year, we want you to tell us the albums that provide escapism and the records that lift your mood. It could be the album that has got you through lockdown or a record you turn to and turn on to take yourself elsewhere.
