Pet Shop Boys Top Official Record Store Chart

The pop veterans’ latest album, Electric, has gone straight in at Number 1 on the Official Record Store Chart.

The Pet Shop Boys’ Electric was the most purchased album in the UK’s independent record shops last week the Official Charts Company can reveal.

Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe’s hotly anticipated twelfth studio album has knocked Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories off the top of the Official Record Store Chart.

The Official Record Store Chart was launched in April of last year by the Official Charts Company and the organisers of Record Store Day UK to reflect sales of the UK’s coolest and most vibrant independent record shops.
