The Official biggest vinyl albums and singles of 2022 so far

officialcharts.com:

Yard Act claim the biggest vinyl album of 2022 so far with debut record The Overload. It tops the Official Charts Company’s end-of-quarter Official Vinyl Chart with ease, selling over 11,000 copies on wax since its initial release in February.

The Leeds lads earn something of a reprieve with this news - The Overload just lost out on topping the Official Albums Chart earlier this year, thanks to a hotly contested chart battle with Years & Years that went right down to the wire.  “It’s ace to have won music for at least one quarter of the year,” Yard Act tell OfficialCharts.com, “clearly it has made some form of connection with enough people for this to happen, which is the most important thing.  “We are incredibly grateful for that and will never forget that [...] to all our team and the whole crew at Island records for believing in us, working so hard and chucking loads of money at it, Thank you.

NOW LET’S GO GET THIS BREAD!” Not far behind in second place are 80s icons Tears For Fears with The Tipping Point, their first new album of original material in over 17 years, which also reached Number 2 on the Official Albums Chart.

Black Country New Road achieved their highest-ever UK chart placement with Ants From Up There earlier this year, and the experimental rock group bring home the third biggest vinyl album on today’s newly unveiled list.
