The Chemical Brothers have the new UK Vinyl Singles Chart number one with Under The Influence.
As the year begins to wind down, only three other new entries trouble the Top 20, including Steve Mason’s Like A Ripple, while Squid are down to #5 from the top spot last week with Savage.
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.
