Olivia Rodrigo's Bestselling Vinyl May Surprise Her Fans

Olivia Rodrigo already has many, many hits to her name. She's only released two albums so far, but both efforts have delivered massive smashes and topped charts around the world. While her own discography is filled with wins, one of her most surprising recent successes isn't a self-written anthem, it's a cover. That reinterpretation has earned the singer a coveted spot on a special ranking, as it quickly became a massive seller when it was released.
Rodrigo appears on the Official Charts Company's list of the bestselling vinyl singles in the U.K. of the last 10 years, but not with a song many of her fans would expect. She sits at No. 25 on the tally with 'Stick Season,' a cover of the same-named smash by Noah Kahan. Her rendition turned into a surprise winner, even without being a proper single.
The Grammy winner shared her take on the Americana/pop cut in October 2023. She recorded the song for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, but she didn't do so in the typical studio. Instead, she performed the cut in Hollywood's Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, CA. A video of the performance has racked up nearly 13 million views as of the time of writing, and the vinyl also sold incredibly well.
Kahan's original version of 'Stick Season' is also featured on the vinyl-only roster, and it's ahead of Rodrigo's. The folk-pop hit comes in at No. 13, landing just shy of the top 10.
Rodrigo doesn't manage to land any of her own compositions among the 40 bestselling vinyl singles in the U.K. from the past decade. That's a bit surprising, considering the success of tracks like 'Drivers License,' 'Good 4 U,' and 'Vampire.'
The Official Charts Company also shared a rundown of the bestselling new vinyl albums of the past 10 years, and Rodrigo appears on that list twice. Her only two studio releases — Sour and Guts — sit right next to one another. Guts lands at No. 28, while Sour settles at No. 29.
The retrospective rankings were published to celebrate 10 years of the Official Vinyl Singles and Albums charts in the U.K. The format, which many once assumed was dead, has not only come back, it's become a major moneymaker in the music industry. Younger fans in particular have driven the resurgence, and many of them love Rodrigo and her music.

We Found Olivia Rodrigo's Exact Polka Dot Micro Shorts
Is there anything Olivia Rodrigo can't do? Before checking major milestones like "headline a major U.S. festival" and "collaborate with rock legend David Byrne of The Talking Heads" off her bucket list at last weekend's Governors Ball in New York City, she also further cemented her fashion icon status by nailing not one, but two of the summer's biggest trends in one budget-friendly outfit. Ahead of her headlining performance on Saturday, O-Rod was spotted strutting around NYC in a pair of linen polka dot micro shorts from Reformation. Not only is her exact pair somehow still in stock (although some sizes seem to be going fast!), they're just $98, so you can copy Olivia's look without blowing your budget. While the Sour songstress completed her ensemble with a rugged pair of biker-inspired boots to match her edgy aesthetic, it's easy to incorporate polka dots into preppy, classic, or vintage-inspired outfits, too. Dare we say it's one of the most versatile patterns out there? Not to mention, this isn't the first time the Grammy winner has been spotted wearing polka dots, further proving it's one of this year's hottest trends. If you're more into the micro shorts trend than polka dots, the Ref shorts come in solid colors, too. We've seen everyone from Dua Lipa to Daisy Edgar Jones and Dakota Johnson wear itty-bitty shorts, so it was only a matter of time before Olivia jumped on the trend. And spoiler alert: During her performance later that night, she wore yet another pair of hot pants, this time in a bold red complete with studs. If you're inspired to steal Liv's look but not inspired to dish out $98, we found more polka dot shorts in a variety of cuts starting at just $9. Looking for a denim version? We're big fans of the larger dots on this pair from ASOS. And while there are plenty of similar micro shorts available, we're also loving this longer style, ideal for Old Hollywood-inspired looks.

Olivia Rodrigo, Benson Boone, FEID, and More Brought the Best Performances to Gov Ball 2025
As the temps start rising into a blistering summer heat and our speakers turn up a few decibels, that can only mean one thing: festival season is officially upon us. Whether you hit the grounds to discover new artists, try some next-level bites, or pull up in your best outfits, music festivals are the best place to hang out and build a community. All of the above were accomplished at New York City's very own Governors Ball, as its return to Flushing Meadows Corona Park marked its 15th anniversary and gave us an extra reason to pull up and celebrate. The festival felt like a perfectly curated soundtrack to our summer—with headliners like Tyler, the Creator, Olivia Rodrigo, and Hozier offering set after set of jaw-dropping energy. Even with weather delays smack in the middle of the festival, crowds formed for their fave artists, and every genre found its spotlight: T‑Pain brought on some Y2K nostalgia, Clairo serenaded festival goers in the soft rain, and indie's rising star stole the hearts of newfound fans. Whether you were vibing through Benson Boone's backflips or bouncing with The Beaches, the energy was seriously contagious. It's no wonder Gov Ball has been New York's must-see festival for 15 unstoppable years, and of course, some of Cosmo's editors were on the grounds to witness it all and gush about the best sets from Gov Ball's 2025 lineup.
