John Grant is this week’s number one on the UK Record Store Chart with ‘Grey Tickles, Black Pressure‘.
Grant’s latest solo album ends New Order‘s two week run at the top, though ‘Music Complete‘ only drops one place, while Dave Gilmour and Kurt Vile are both non-movers.
There’s new entries from The Enemy and Protomartyr a little further back, and Faithless are at #15 with the UK’s current number one on the main rundown, ‘Faithless ‘2.0‘.
Launched in 2012, the UK Record Store Chart aims to support traditional music shops and is thus compiled entirely from sales registered at 100 of Britain’s leading independent outlets.
