Arctic Monkeys are currently at number one on the UK Vinyl Singles Chart with the title-track of their 2018 album Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.
Released on 7″ recently with the brand new b-side Anyways, it’s just in front of The 1975’s Give Yourself A Try, with the Idles’ year-defining Danny Nedelko one further place back.
Reflecting the surge in popularity of the traditional format, dedicated vinyl album and singles charts were launched by the Official Charts Company in 2016 with the singles chart compiled from sales of 7″ and 12″ records.
