Thom Yorke‘s new solo album ANIMA is the latest UK Record Store Chart number one.
It was produced by Nigel Godrich and got a physical release after coming out digitally on June 27th when a Netflix special dubbed a ‘one-reeler’, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and soundtracked by three songs from the record, was also premiered.
New in the Top 3 this week too are Brian Eno and Ider, while Gerry Cinnamon’s debut album Erratic Cinematic continues to hold traction and is at #7.
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.
