Arctic Monkeys are back on top of the UK Record Store Chart this week with their 2013 LP ‘AM‘.
Elsewhere, Haim‘s debut ‘Days Are Gone‘ has also risen this week to chart at #2, while there’s a boost in sales for John Grant, London Grammar, Jake Bugg and plenty more besides.
Launched midway through 2012, the UK Record Store Chart is compiled entirely from sales registered at 100 of Britain’s leading independent music outlets. It is one of the many initiatives credited with boosting interest in the vinyl format to the tune of 101% year-on-year during 2013.
