Ed Sheeran has moved back to the top of the UK Record Store Chart this week at the expense of AC/DC, who slip to #3 with ‘Rock Or Bust‘.
During the familiarly quiet last days of the year, there are no new entries in the Top 20 this week as Pink Floyd, Sam Smith and George Ezra complete the Top 5.
The UK Record Store Chart was launched in conjunction with the 2012 Record Store Day initiatives and is compiled entirely from sales registered at Britain’s leading independent music outlets.
