Berks County record shop saw boost in sales thanks to Taylor Swift 02:13

KUTZTOWN, Pa. (CBS) — Before she may make an appearance at the Super Bowl, Taylor Swift is kicking off an exciting next few weeks Sunday night at the Grammys.

The pop star has sold millions of CDs, vinyl records and the like throughout her career. And for Young Ones Records , she’s boosting sales.

“We sell pretty much everything to a wide range of age groups,” Young Ones Records owner Chris Holt said.

Holt owns the small business nestled in Kutztown.

“You never know who’s going to come in here,” he said.

From jazz records to indie and pop rock, Young Ones has just about it all — Swift included.

The Berks County native is their bestselling artist.

“She’s done a lot for indie retail with indie exclusives, and we had ‘Folklore’ CDs signed. We sold over 1,000 of those, which is a crazy, crazy number I mean these days to sell like 10 or 20 CDs,” Holt said.
