Paul Weller is on top of the UK Vinyl Singles Chart this week with ‘Going My Way‘.
David Bowie is another veteran to land a strong debut thanks to ‘Fame‘, while very much at the other end of the career ladder The Strypes are new at #3 with ‘Get Into It‘. Noel Gallagher, the man who’s dominated the vinyl format in the UK this year, remains in the Top 10 with ‘Riverman‘.
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.
