Borderline Music, on North Clark Street, sells new indie releases and classic LGBTQ+ favorites in Chicago’s Northalton neighborhood.
This independent shop understands its community: you'll find everything from pop stars to indie acts. It's the kind of place you can actually browse physical media, which feels a lot more intentional than letting an algorithm decide your taste.
North Clark Street is known for its queer-friendly businesses, so Borderline fits right in. If you’re a serious collector or just want to find some key queer cultural touchstones, this is a better bet than the big chains. Check their website for hours and what’s in stock before you go.

Dumb.
Fun record store. They do price gouge on Madonna items that you can find significantly lower in cost, and not a huge fan of the bootleg options. Otherwise, it's a solid choice for fun record store browsing.
Great!
Seems like mostly new music, which is good. For how small this shop is, they pack in as much as they can. They are open late, which is great if you're crawling down Clark and decide you want to pick up some new tunes.
As a big Madonna fan, this place does not disappoint. Even though it is limited in what they carry, they are very good at identifying the lgbtq audiences taste in music. For a madonna fan, this is a must if you want various exclusives
