The final Leonard Cohen album You Want It Darker has moved back to the top of the UK Record Store Chart after the legendary songwriter’s death earlier this month.
Pink Floyd‘s Early Years collection is new at #3 meanwhile, and Nick & The Bad Seeds are at #11 with their lauded Skeleton Tree LP. There’s another Leonard Cohen album in the Top 10 – The Essential compilation is new at #7.
