Oasis‘ Be Here Now reissue promo Stand By Me is second to the George Michael track Freedom on this week’s UK Vinyl Singles Chart.
One of the best remembered singles from the star who passed away at the end of last year is a non-mover, while former Oasis man Noel Gallagher has more presence in the Top 20 thanks to the Record Store Day remix of his Chasing Yesterday album track The Mexican.
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.
