Blossoms have entered the UK Vinyl Singles Chart at number one with ‘Getaway‘, while Pretty Vicious aren’t far behind with ‘Cave Song‘.
Sandwiched in between is a true classic from Marvin Gaye, and Crows are another high new entry on the chart with ‘Unwelcome Light‘.
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.
