Foals headlining Citadel Festival (Alberto Pezzali / Live4ever)
The strong week which took Foals to the top of the UK Album Chart for the first time was replicated on the UK Record Store Chart, where the band’s new LP Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost – Part 2 sits at number one.
It leads another entirely brand new Top 5, with Yungblud, Jimmy Eat World, Floating Points and James Arthur all debuting there, while Elbow’s Giants Of All Sizes moves down from #1 to #8.
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.
