Music is a key cultural touchpoint that connects so many of the different communities integral to StockX. Music serves as the source of inspiration and collaboration for products across all of our categories – in addition to our ever-growing catalogue of vinyl albums. With The Spin, we round up the best new music releases and music-related products, as well as look at the most popular, and the most expensive music-related items each week.
Best New Music Releases 
The Weeknd Dawn FM
When we last heard from Abel Tesfaye, he was roaming around after hours in bandages and a red suit. For his latest incarnation of The Weeknd, Tesfaye indulges in the concept of the coolest retro-pop radio station in purgatory on Dawn FM. Featuring stand-out tracks “Gasoline,” “Is There Someone Else?,” and “Take My Breath,” this is the best and most interesting The Weeknd record in a while. Along for the ride are producers Oneohtrix Point Never, Max Martin, Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia, and longtime collaborator Oscar Holter. The record also includes features from Tyler, The Creator, Lil’ Wayne, Quincy Jones, and Jim Carrey as the afterlife’s resident DJ and guide. Available in a variety of vinyl and cassette editions, the is a must cop. Be sure and check out all The Weeknd merch on the site.

Most Popular Music Products this Week
Yeezy x Gap Hoodie Blue
After more than a year’s worth of anticipation, Yeezy & Gap delivered the first collection of Yeezy x Gap Hoodies of their partnership in late September of 2021. However, a restock several weeks ago of the black and blue colorways pushed the blue hoodie to be the most popular music-related item of the week. And with prices hovering between $100 to $140, it wouldn’t be a surprise if we saw the hoodie on next week’s list either.
Mac Miller The Divine Feminine Limited 2XLP Vinyl Pink
The late, great Mac Miller still commands vinyl record market share more than three years after his untimely passing. A concise, confident record displaying Miller’s maturing artistry, The Divine Feminine features notable appearances from Kendrick Lamar, Kaytranada, Anderson.Paak, and Robert Glasper, among others. Complete your Mac Miller discography with this limited edition 2xLP Pink Vinyl edition, exclusively released through Urban Outfitters in 2016.
If you love The Beatles, if you loved Peter Jackson’s 8-hour documentary, The Beatles: Get Back, this LEGO set is for you. The LEGO Art The Beatles Set 31198 allows you to build a flat, wall-hanging image of the Fab 4 – John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison (sorry Pete Best). The set originally released on August 24th, 2020, and was retired at the end of 2021, just as the documentary was becoming a pop-cult classic. Perfect timing to ignite some LEGO Beatlemania.
Released back in 2019, Tyler, The Creator’s IGOR took home the GRAMMY for Best Rap Album of the Year in a crowded field that included 21 Savage, Meek Mill, and YBN Cordae. The album represents Tyler at his most radical and creative best, a pop album eschewing pop structure in search of personal truth. It’s no surprise that IGOR continues to be one of his best-selling records on StockX, that is until CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST ever comes out vinyl.
Best Ye Releated New Music Releases

To keep you in the right frame of mind until Donda 2 sees the light of day, be sure and check out all things Kanye on StockX.
