New Order‘s latest ‘Music Complete‘ cut ‘Singularity‘ – which is backed with various remixes – has topped this week’s UK Vinyl Singles Chart.
Spring King are a high new entry with ‘Rectifier‘, while The 1975‘s ‘A Change Of Heart’ – last week’s number one – is at #3 and Jeff Buckley and Massive Attack complete the Top 5.
Dedicated vinyl album and singles charts were launched by the Official Charts Company last year in recognition of the continuing resurgence of the traditional format – the singles chart is compiled from sales of 7″ and 12″ records.
