Lana Del Rey holds the biggest selling UK vinyl release so far this year

Gorrilaz, Paramore and Depeche Mode all feature in the top 10 albums.

Lana Del Rey’s Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd is the best-selling vinyl release of the year so far in the UK, according to the Official Charts Company.

Del Rey’s ninth studio album has sold 20,800 vinyl copies this year, while first-week sales were her strongest since Ultraviolence back in 2014.

Behind Del Rey, Gorillaz’s Cracker Island take second place and St. Jude by The Courteeners is in third. Taylor Swift’s 2022 release Midnights and new albums from Paramore and Depeche Mode fill the rest of the list out. The usual suspects are also present with Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon and Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours both in the top 10.

Within the top 40 vinyl releases this year, 21 are new releases, marking an increasing move away from back catalogue reissues.
