It’s The Black Keys who’ve claimed the top spot on this week’s UK Record Store Chart with their new album Let’s Rock.
There’s a Glastonbury-bounce look to the chart with strong weeks for Kylie Minogue, Fontaines D.C., Gerry Cinnamon and Vampire Weekend, while The Tallest Man On Earth is another new entry at #20.
It was in 2012 when the Official Charts Company began acknowledging the comeback of vinyl which first started over a decade ago with Record Store Day by publishing a weekly Record Store Chart compiled from the best selling albums at 100 of Britain’s leading independent music shops.
