Idles have scored a UK chart double with their new album Ultra Mono.

Repeating its success on the main chart rundown, the band’s third studio album has also topped the UK Record Store Chart with the fastest selling vinyl of 2020 in the process, leading an entirely new Top 20 which includes re-entries for Prince, Michael Kiwanuka and Dermot Kennedy.

The Official Charts Company launched the UK Record Store Chart in 2012 to reflect the last decade’s drive to support independent music outlets and the concurrent surge in vinyl sales. It is compiled from the best selling albums at 100 of Britain’s leading independent music shops.
