According to official chart figures, annual sales of the 7" and 12" discs are on course to hit a six-year high after already shifting 240,000 units this year.
The figure beats the 2010 total of 234,000 for the year and analysts predict that 2011's sales could exceed 300,000.
It would be the first time the format has passed the 300,000 unit milestone in six years after 351,000 vinyls were sold throughout 2005.
Top albums purchased on vinyl include Radiohead's The King Of Limbs and Adele's 21, which has also consistently broken records on music's new digital format.
