Stormzy is back at number one on the UK Record Store Chart with Heavy Is The Head.
The grime star’s second album has reentered the chart this week, as have Snow Patrol’s Reworked and Blume from Narija, while Billie Eilish is back in the Top 20.
The Official Charts Company launched the UK Record Store Chart in 2012 to reflect the last decade’s drive to support independent music outlets and the concurrent surge in vinyl sales. It is compiled from the best selling albums at 100 of Britain’s leading independent music shops.
