Fame is number one on UK vinyl chart

 

“Fame, makes a man take things over”

 

Congratulations are due to David Bowie on the news that the 40th anniversary picture disc of Fame (released July 24), has gone to #1 on the latest UK Official Vinyl Singles Chart Top 40.

Having entered the chart at #2 last week, steady sales have meant the limited edition has now taken the top spot.

Fame was David Bowie’s very first #1 single when it topped the American Billboard Hot 100 during the week of 20 September 1975.

It seems Bowie fans are on a soul trip right now, with the following three bits of plastic in the Top Thirty:

 

#01 FAME

#21 YOUNG AMERICANS

#25 KNOCK ON WOOD

 

Plastic Soul pun fully intended.
