Snow Patrol‘s Reworked album is the new UK Record Store Chart number one.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds jump to #2 with Ghosteen, while Tom Walker’s What A Time To Be Alive is a reentry at #3 and last week’s number one, Kiwanuka, is at #4. A new entry from The Script completes the Top 5.
It was in 2012 when the Official Charts Company began acknowledging the comeback of vinyl which first started over a decade ago with Record Store Day by publishing a weekly Record Store Chart compiled from the best selling albums at 100 of Britain’s leading independent music shops.
