David Bowie‘s final studio album Blackstar is back at number one on the UK Record Store Chart.
Now a year on from its release and the icon’s death, Blackstar climbs from #4 to top the chart ahead of a new entry from Sundara Karma. A Tribe Called Quest are also a big climber this week, while another Bowie album, Legacy, sits at #4.
