The charts this week reflect that the sales of the good old vinyl format still can make an "epic" impression on the charts around the globe.
U.K. charts
The '30 No. 1 Hits' compilation lost five spots on the main U.K. Album chart, dropping from No. 66 to No. 71. The album lost the same number of spots on the Official Streaming chart, dropping to No. 68. The album won six places on the Chart Update chart and climbed to No. 60 this week.
Following the release of the vinyl version of the 'EPiC' soundtrack, the album returned to the U.K.'s main album chart at No. 52 this week. It also returned to the Chart Update chart, the Sales Chart and the Physical Sales charts at No. 15 and No. 6 and No. 6 respectively. On the Vinyl Album chart the soundtrack debuted at No. 3, where it tied with 'Way Down in the Jungle Room' as Presley’s third-highest-rising release. Two other sets, - 'If I Can Dream' and 'The Wonder of You' - both hit No. 1 on that chart
The soundtrack also won another spot on the Soundtracks Album chart, climbing to No. 2. The King of Pop kept the King of Rock and Roll from taking the Top spot following the premiere of the 'Michael' movie.
