Sam Smith is back on top of the UK Record Store Chart in time for the first rundown of 2015, with The War On Drugs‘ sublime ‘Lost In The Dream‘ one place behind.
Before the new year releases get into swing, the Top 20 has a very familiar look to it, with most of 2014’s biggest sellers still going strong. These include George Ezra, who’s at #3 with ‘Wanted On Voyage‘, and Pink Floyd who are at #7 with ‘The Endless River‘.
The UK Record Store Chart is compiled exclusively from sales registered at Britain’s leading independent music outlets.
