I see the UK now has a weekly vinyl albums chart...sadly no sign of MJ on there as yet.....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The UK's first weekly vinyl chart has been launched by the Official Charts Company as sales of vinyl albums and singles continue to soar.
Despite predictions that CDs - then MP3s and streaming - would render vinyl obsolete, sales reached an 18-year high in 2014, at 1.29 million. Figures show sales of vinyl albums are set to grow by another 70% this year.
Chasing Yesterday by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is 2015's biggest-selling vinyl album so far.
The weekly vinyl albums and singles charts, published on the Official Charts Company website, are being introduced ahead of Record Store Day on 18 April.
The first official vinyl albums chart is topped by All Time Low's Future Hearts - echoing the week's UK album chart broadcast on BBC Radio 1 yesterday.
In the first official vinyl singles chart the number one spot was taken by Underworld vs Heller & Farley's track Baby Wants to Ride.
The charts company said it was responding to "the huge surge of interest" that has seen vinyl sales climb from a low of 0.1% of the albums market in 2007 (205,000) to 1.5% in 2014 (1.29m).
"Yes, it's still a small part of the business," admitted chief executive Martin Talbot.
"But what makes this so unusual is that usually you see new formats arrive and grow in popularity, reach their peak and then they decline and kind of disappear.
"Here you've got something that has grown in popularity back in the 60s and 70s, declined in popularity through the 80s and 90s, got right the way down to the bottom and then started climbing back out again."
