Maximo Park




Architects and Maximo Park deliver another week on the UK Record Store Chart which mirrors the main chart rundown.

Architects have beaten Maximo Park to the top of the UK Record Store Chart on a week dominated by new releases.

Julien Baker, A Winged Victory For The Sullen and The White Stripes also debut inside the Top 5, whilst more new entries further back come from the likes of Stereolab, The Wedding Present and Alice Cooper.
