We're honored to see Jeff Walker, CEO of Alliance Entertainment, recognized by Billboard as its Executive of the Week.
The recognition comes as physical music continues its remarkable resurgence. According to the RIAA's mid-year report, vinyl sales grew 17.7% year over year, while CD sales increased 58.6%, reinforcing what we see every day across the entertainment and collectibles marketplace.
At Alliance Entertainment, we've long believed that physical media is more than a format. It's collectible, tangible, and deeply connected to fandom. As consumers continue to seek meaningful ways to connect with their favorite artists and brands, demand for physical products remains strong.
From supporting independent record stores and major retailers to helping labels reach fans worldwide through AMPED Distribution, we're proud to help power the growing physical music ecosystem. Alliance sold 16.8 million vinyl records and 13.5 million CDs in 2025 and is on track to sell 20 million units of each format in 2026.
Thank you to our partners, customers, labels, retailers, and employees who make this growth possible. Read the article here, https://ow.ly/v13W50ZJFBM
