New releases from The xx, Bonobo and The Flaming Lips are leading this week’s UK Record Store Chart.
The xx are on top with I See You, while The Flaming Lips enter at #3 with their own new record Oczy Mlody. It all means David Bowie‘s Blackstar drops to #4, the highest of three Bowie LPs which currently hold places in the Top 20.
Launched in conjunction with the Record Store Day celebrations of 2012, the UK Record Store Chart aims to support Britain’s independent music shops and is compiled entirely from sales registered at 100 of those leading outlets.
