Physical sales continue to rule the Official Charts as Robbie Williams scores his 13th solo No.1 record, marking the 12th week in a row that records have been carried to No.1 selling a majority of CDs and vinyl!

Vangel Vlaski, part of our label management team, will be at AmericanaFestUK tomorrow discussing what you need in a team to take your career to the next level. The panel, called What Next? Beyond DIY, takes place at Hackney Empire from midday. #amauk20

New figures from BPI shows physical music still accounts for over 20% of the UK’s record label trade income. With your favourite artists needing your support more than ever, please do what you can to support record retailers & the creative community in these testing times

Amidst growing rumours that Amazon have halted vinyl and CD shipments, I spoke with Murray Stassen at MBW to explain that our experience at Proper Music Distribution is quite the opposite! bit.ly/33HnQHv

Congratulations to GERRY CINNAMON whose sophomore album The Bonny has shot straight to #1 in both the UK and Ireland. Our first #1 Proper Music Distribution. A huge well done to Gerry and everyone at @LitLRunawayRcds and AWAL!

Looking forward to tuning in tonight with the rest of the Proper Music Distribution team to celebrate the incredible successes of the independent community at this year’s aimawards!

Great read from Music Week as the music biz, including our Pat Howe, weigh in on Saturday’s upcoming National Album Day. It’s lovely to celebrate such an important format, especially with physical albums continuing to play such a vital role in chart success. bit.ly/3lhAR1L

Our thoughts are with the nation as all of us send our condolences to the Royal Family. We feel especially honoured to have received a Queen’s Award for Enterprise this year, and will remember Her Majesty for her incredible commitment to the country over the past 70 years.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Paul Sartin. A brilliant musician and all-round wonderful human being, working with Paul was always a joy. Our condolences to his family, bandmates and friends. He will be greatly missed.

Had a wonderful time at the AIM Independent Music Awards (AIM) on Wednesday. A big congrats to all the winners! #AIMAwards2022

So pleased to see Little Simz win the Mercury Prize. Having worked on her debut album, it's been an absolute delight to follow her impressive rise over the last few years. A huge congratulations to her and the team, so well-deserved!

Delighted to attend Americana Music UK Awards nominations launch at OMEARA on Tuesday. Always a joy to celebrate the many strands of Americana and catch great performances by @nativeharrow and Treetop Flyers.

A really insightful report from IFPI. It's interesting to note that 12% of the respondents have purchased a CD in the last month, compared to 8% who purchased vinyl, with the top reason to collect vinyl being a desire to own music physically! ifpi.org/ifpi-releases-…

Some truly well-deserved wins at the MOBO Awards last night! I’m especially grateful to have worked on Knucks #NoDaysOff’ Alpha Pace, and since working on Little Simz’ debut it's been a pleasure to witness her incredible rise. A massive congrats to both of them!

I spoke to Sky News about vinyl sales eclipsing CDs for the first time in 35 years. It’s time we stopped thinking of music fans being either physical or digital consumers – they are both!

Had a fantastic afternoon celebrating Proper Music Distribution receiving @TheQueensAwards. It was an honour to welcome The Lady Colgrain to our ceremony, and a real testament to the dedication of every single person who works at Proper Music Distribution!
