Official Charts Company has revealed that in 2014, Pink Floyd and David Bowie have helped push vinyl sales in the United Kingdom over the one million mark for the first time since 1996.
David Bowie's 'Nothing Has Changed' has topped the vinyl chart by replacing last week's number one Pink Floyd's 'The Endless River' that sold over 6,000 vinyl copies in its first week of release, making it the fastest-selling vinyl album this century, Contactmusic reported.
Official Charts chief executive, Martin Talbot said in a statement that in scoring the biggest opening week for a vinyl album this millennium, Pink Floyd's The Endless River illustrates the British public's renewed love for this format.
Talbot went on to say that vinyl sales this year are on course to become a 20 million pounds business, saying it was an incredible turnaround from barely 3 million pounds just five years ago.
