“I'm lost in streams of sound”
The Official Charts Company (OCC) has announced that David Bowie is the best-selling artist of Record Store Day 2017.
Patient Bowie fans queued for hours (some since the previous night), to be first in line to snap up exclusive RSD Bowie vinyl on Saturday morning (22nd).
The clear blue vinyl No Plan EP qualified for the Official Singles Chart and when sales of the traditional black variant (released on vinyl 12" on Friday) were included, the EP rounded out the weekend as the biggest selling vinyl single, hitting the Official Singles Chart Update Top 40 on Monday.
Cracked Actor tops the list of albums exclusively issued for #RSD2017, while the BOWPROMO release finished as the second best-selling exclusive. Both impacted the Official Albums Chart's midweek update on Monday.
Record Store Day organisers, the Entertainment Retailers Association, (ERA) will provide a full analysis of RSD UK later this week, with a look at sales figures, the new stars of Record Store Day, and insight from indie retailers about the sheer number of fans who came to their stores across the country.
