Noel Gallagher has both the UK’s top selling album and single on the vinyl format so far this year, reports the Official Charts Company.
The OCC has been monitoring sales on the traditional format more closely this year in recognition of the significant vinyl boom since the launch of Record Store Day back in 2008, and began a dedicated Albums and Singles chart last April.
Now, the figures for 2015 up to July have been released, and put Noel Gallagher on top of both lists courtesy of ‘Chasing Yesterday‘ and ‘Riverman‘ respectively.
Gallagher also has the second and third spots on the Singles list with ‘Ballad Of The Mighty I‘ and ‘The Dying Of The Light‘, while Led Zeppelin have 2015’s second best selling album on vinyl thanks to the reissued classic ‘Physical Grafitti‘. Another classic – The Stone Roses‘ 1989 self-titled debut – is third.
