Massive Attack‘s ‘Ritual Spirit‘ has jumped up to number one while PJ Harvey is new at #2 with ‘The Wheel‘ on this week’s UK Vinyl Singles Chart.
Last week’s chart topper, Blossoms‘ ‘At Most a Kiss‘, drops to #7, just ahead of ‘Sex‘ which is just one of several 1975 tracks currently in the Top 20.
Dedicated vinyl album and singles charts were launched by the Official Charts Company last year in recognition of the continuing resurgence of the traditional format – the singles chart is compiled from sales of 7″ and 12″ records.
