2001's Biggest 12" Record Sells 20,000 Units

Rui Da Silva's Touch Me topped last year's 12 inch vinyl charts in the UK, selling 20,000 copies. The house anthem pipped Roger Sanchez's Stardust style disco tune Another Chance and Joey Negro's American Dream to the top spot, with other big sellers including Ian Van Dahl, PPK and Daniel Bedingford (Music Week).

The market for 7" records, appears to have nearly vanished with the number one single of the year selling just 700 copies. Vinyl albums also showed relatively low returns with dodgy popsters Travis selling 28,000 units of their easy listening opus The invisible Band, to top annual album sales (Daft Punk's discovery was at 2)
