Hyperpop is a 2010s pop movement that pushes the genre to extremes: heavily processed vocals, distorted bass, sugary melodies and genre collage. It grew around A. G. Cook's London label PC Music, then reached a wide audience through 100 gecs and Charli XCX.

What are the essential hyperpop albums?

The most cited records are "1000 gecs" by 100 gecs (2019), Charli XCX's "Pop 2" (2017) and "how i'm feeling now" (2020), and SOPHIE's "Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides" (2018). Charli XCX's "Brat" (2024) carried the style far beyond the original scene.

Which labels release hyperpop?

The founding label is PC Music, started in London in 2013 by A. G. Cook. Dog Show Records is linked to 100 gecs. The biggest names, including Charli XCX, are now on major labels, which is why so many colored vinyl editions exist for their albums.

Are hyperpop vinyl records limited editions?

Often, yes. Many releases come as color variants or store exclusives pressed in limited quantities, and once they sell out, resale prices climb. Comparing offers from several partner stores as soon as a record comes out is the easiest way to land the edition you want at a fair price.

Hyperpop

Hyperpop shatters boundaries by blending pop, electro, trap, and digital distortions into a cocktail that is as wild as it is addictive. Artists like Sophie, Charli XCX, and 100 gecs have shaped a futuristic, colorful, and eccentric aesthetic that defies established codes. Vocals stretch, rhythms collide, saturated sounds stack up, creating an extraordinary soundscape.

When listening, this music sweeps us into a complete experience, like an exhilarating dive into a supercharged pop world.

Hyperpop Vinyl: The Records Behind Pop's Most Extreme Sound

What is hyperpop vinyl?

Hyperpop vinyl puts on wax a sound built for earbuds: pitched-up, heavily processed vocals, blown-out bass, candy-coated hooks and pieces of trance, pop-punk and club music. The scene took shape in the 2010s around London label PC Music, founded in 2013 by A. G. Cook, and broke wide in 2019 with "1000 gecs", the debut album by American duo 100 gecs.

This page lists records by Charli XCX, the scene's biggest name, alongside neighboring artists such as PinkPantheress and Grimes. The section is compact: it is a young genre, and part of its catalog still exists only as digital releases. BABii also appears in the catalog. When a hyperpop album does get a vinyl release, it often comes in several color variants, which is why comparing stores pays off.

Best hyperpop albums to own on vinyl

A short starter list covers most of the essentials. Charli XCX's mixtape "Pop 2" (2017) is her deep dive into the PC Music orbit, "how i'm feeling now" (2020) was made during lockdown, and "Brat" (2024) took the sound to a mainstream audience. SOPHIE, one of the key producers of the movement, released "Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides" in 2018.

Color variants and limited runs: how to buy smart

Hyperpop is a visual scene, and its records follow suit: colored vinyl, alternate covers and store-exclusive variants sold by a single retailer or the artist's own shop. These limited runs sell out fast and often cost more on the resale market afterward. Before buying, check the label and catalog details, since unofficial pressings of in-demand titles do circulate. Then compare the same edition across several partner stores, because prices on color variants can differ noticeably.

Hyperpop labels and artists to follow

To keep up with new pressings, follow PC Music for the British side of the story, Dog Show Records, the label tied to 100 gecs, and the major labels that now release Charli XCX. On the artist side, watch longtime PC Music names such as
