More than 180 exclusive vinyl releases will arrive in independent record shops on Nov. 27 for Record Store Day Black Friday 2026.

The list covers new pop releases, soundtrack songs, anniversary pressings and catalogue reissues. All titles are physical exclusives for independent stores, meaning they will not be stocked by major chains or general online retailers on release day, according to Variety.

KATSEYE will release The Dance Breaks on 12-inch yellow vinyl. The record features live dance-break arrangements of “Debut,” “Gnarly” and “Gabriela” taken from the Beautiful Chaos Tour, pressed with a KATSEYE logo etching on the disc, according to Billboard.

Joji will release a deluxe edition of Piss In The Wind with new tracks and instrumentals. Noah Kahan has two entries on the list. One is a 7-inch single, a small-format record that usually holds one song per side, featuring “Draw You Out” from The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping soundtrack.

His second is The Last of the Bugs as a 12-inch EP pressed on 180-gram Alpenglow vinyl. In vinyl terms, 180-gram refers to a heavier, more durable pressing.

Holly Humberstone will release a 7-inch pairing “Cruel World” with her cover of Harry Styles’ “Coming Up Roses” from her BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge session. The 2026 lineup also includes releases from keshi, CORTIS and sombr.

Older catalogue is a large part of the event. The Rolling Stones’ Aftermath will receive a clear-vinyl edition with additional package extras. George Harrison’s 33 1/3 and self-titled album will be released as new zoetrope editions, a format where images printed on the disc appear to move under light.

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band’s Night Moves will receive a 50th-anniversary pressing through Third Man Records. Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel and Prince are also included in the Black Friday lineup, alongside Florence + The Machine and Shawn Mendes, according to Official Charts.

The official Record Store Day releases page also lists a Christmas title from Cher as an RSD Black Friday 2026 exclusive.

For fans, this means queues before opening time and quick sellouts. Black Friday titles are made in limited numbers for participating shops, and once a store sells out, there is no guaranteed restock.
