The Maccabees have added to their richly deserved triumph on the UK’s main album chart by topping the Record Store Chart with ‘Marks To Prove It‘.
The news displaces Sleaford Mods, who drop down to #4 with ‘Key Markets‘, while Lianne La Havas is enjoying a high new entry courtesy of ‘Blood‘. Led Zeppelin‘s reissue series, meanwhile, continues to perform well as the latest and final three all land in the Top 10.
Launched in 2012, the UK Record Store Chart aims to support traditional music shops and is thus compiled entirely from sales registered at 100 of Britain’s leading independent outlets.
