The posthumous Leonard Cohen album Thanks For The Dance has topped the UK Record Store Chart.
Made up of recordings which go back to Cohen’s You Want It Darker sessions with his son Adam, the album leads Girl Ray’s new record Girl and Coldplay’s Everyday Life, while Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Beck complete the latest 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.
