It’s a UK Vinyl Singles Chart dominated by new entries this week.
15 of the top 20 tracks are fresh off the block, though the chart is topped by one of the few survivors from last week, The Rolling Stones‘ Ride ‘Em On Down. Also holding on to positions in the Top 20 are Oasis‘ Stand By Me and Fallingforyou, Medicine and The City from The 1975.
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.
