‘Heartstopper’ Limited-Edition Soundtrack Vinyl Box Set Sells Out, Second Pressing On the Way
The limited-edition vinyl box set of the soundtrack to Netflix's coming-of-age series Heartstopper has sold out immediately after going up for preorder, prompting label Music on Vinyl to announce a second pressing. The set's popularity reflects the strength of the show's fanbase, which has grown since it launched in 2022 and is now bidding farewell with a feature-length finale film.
The 4LP deluxe set contains 103 tracks spanning music from all three series and the film, including composer Adiescar Chase's score. A second, unnumbered limited edition will be released on 9 October, timed to coincide with renewed interest following the release of the finale film, Heartstopper Forever, on Netflix. The series, based on Alice Oseman's webcomic and graphic novel, follows teenagers Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring and their largely LGBTQ+ friend group.

Explained simply
Heartstopper is a Netflix comedy-drama that launched in 2022 and has developed a significant following. Based on Alice Oseman's webcomic and graphic novel, it follows teenagers Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring alongside their largely LGBTQ+ friend group. The series is now concluding with a feature-length finale film.
A limited-edition vinyl box set of the soundtrack has been released by Music on Vinyl. The four-record deluxe set contains 103 tracks from all three series and the finale film, including original score by composer Adiescar Chase and other music from the show. Limited-edition releases like this appeal to fans who wish to own curated collections of music from their favourite series.
The vinyl box set is produced in limited quantities, making it exclusive to collectors. Soundtrack releases often coincide with major moments in a television show's life, such as its conclusion. This release arrives as Heartstopper concludes, with the finale film now available to audiences.
