Despite high new entries from Madness, TOY and The Courteeners, there’s no change at the top of the UK Record Store Chart.
Albums from Leonard Cohen and Elvis Presley both retain their places from last week, as Madness enter at #3 with Can’t Touch Us Now, immediately followed by TOY and The Courteeners.
