ERA is the trade body representing digital services and retailers offering music, video and games. Our members include Spotify, YouTube, Soundcloud, Amazon, Sky, Deezer and Virgin Media, together with physical retailers including HMV, Game, Asda and Morrisons, and hundreds of independent record shops.   

   

ERA’s members have been a driving force in using the power of technology to transform the entertainment business and return it to growth, with around 90% of revenues now generated online. At the same time our physical retail members have driven the unexpected revival of vinyl records, now in their 14th consecutive year of growth. 

 

Working closely with sister organisations representing music, video and games companies, ERA is a strong proponent of open markets, open standards and consumer choice.  

 

Our members supply the sales data which powers the Official Charts Company (music and video charts) and GfK Chart-Track (videogames). Together with record companies trade association the BPI, we own the Official Charts Company.   

   

ERA provides the organisational force behind Record Store Day, the annual celebration of independent record stores which has become the most successful new music industry promotion of the past two decades.
