Experimental producer Aphex Twin claims the best-selling vinyl single of 2023 so far.
Blackbox Life Recorder 21F was the first music Twin (real name Richard D James) released in half a decade, and his first to chart in the UK Top 100 since 1999.
Anarchic icons Sex Pistols sink the remaining two places in the Top 3 with classic singles Anarchy In The UK (2) and Holidays In The Sun (3), following limited edition vinyl runs released earlier this year.
Elsewhere, The Rolling Stones’ 2023 comeback tune Angry makes it to Number 4, the first single from their new record Hackney Diamonds. Angry came complete with a buzzy music video featuring Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney, and delivered The Stones their first Top 40 hit on the Official Singles Chart in 18 years.
Brand new 2023 releases to also make the list include Niall Horan’s Heaven (10) and Meltdown (26), Olivia Rodrigo’s chart-topping vampire (13), Chase & Status, Bou, Flowdan, Irah, Trigga & Takura’s Top 10 smash Baddadan (26), Alison Goldfrapp & Claptone’s Digging Depper (23), Inhaler’s Valentine (24) and the Last Dinner Party’s Nothing Matters (35).
