Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD) are at number one on the UK Vinyl Singles Chart with Electricity.
The band’s 1979 debut single hits the vinyl charts once again upon the release of a new career-spanning boxset and Greatest Hits collection entitled Souvenir, while Temples get a Top 5 new entry too with Hot Motion and Liam Gallagher is at #8 with One Of Us.
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.
