Chvrches are the highest new entry on the UK Vinyl Singles Chart which is led for a second week by Bring Me The Horizon.
The band’s ‘Leave a Trace‘ single debuts at #2, ahead of Noel Gallagher, David Bowie and the Anthony Wilson tribute from Mike Garry & Joe Duddell which jumps back into the Top 5 this week.
Dedicated vinyl album and singles charts were launched by the Official Charts Company earlier this year in recognition of the continuing resurgence of the traditional format – the singles chart is compiled from sales of 7″ and 12″ records.
