Muse‘s ‘Drones‘ single ‘Reapers‘ is on top of the UK Vinyl Singles Chart this week.
There’s a new entry at #4 from Jake Bugg, while Noel Gallagher’s remix of the ‘Chasing Yesterday‘ album track ‘The Mexican‘, entitled ‘El Mexicano’, holds firm at #5.
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.
