New Skylights song charts at number 4 in vinyl charts

The band had previously set their sights on securing their first number with new single, Fever, but guitarist Turnbull Smith said they were “absolutely buzzing” to land the fourth spot.

“We’re absolutely buzzing to be in at number four in the UK official vinyl charts and number five in the physical charts,” he said. “What an achievement.”

Fever was the first single to be released by Skylights since the band announced they would be releasing music independently.

They partnered with Vinyl Eddie in Tadcaster Road to produce the vinyl, which was pressed at Vinyl Press in Monks Cross and recorded at Young Thugs Studio in Southbank.

Skylights were kept off the number one vinyl spot by pop giant Ariana Grande whose new single, Hate That You Made Me Love You, peaked at number one during its first week.

Grande was followed in the official vinyl single charts by Dinner Party by Niall Horan at number two and Down Below by Jayler at number three.

Skylights did, however, chart ahead of rock legends the Rolling Stones whose new single, In the Stars, dropped to number six in the vinyl charts in the song’s third week of release.
