LIFE and Liam Gallagher have both scored high entries on the latest UK Record Store Chart with their respective new albums A Picture Of Good Health and Why Me? Why Not.
While Gallagher’s second solo album is currently leading the UK’s main chart rundown, it’s Keane’s Cause And Effect which proved to be the most popular last week at Britain’s independent record shops, while Thurston Moore and Reverend & The Makers complete a brand new 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.
