As usual this is a first draft so it may change lower down the order if I find I’ve missed something. I’ve included the eps by MBV but not Loveless as it was a reissue though that too would have charted. The Shins were helped a little by the album already being reduced in price. Sigur Ros only made it in on vinyl sales as the CD sold very little. As you will see self distributed albums are few indeed with Olympic Swimmers and Cathode Ray flying the flag (pun intended !)
