UK singles’ sales have risen for the first time in five years, music industry figures show.
The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) recorded a 6.4% rise in singles sales and 3.7% rise in album sales.
Sales across all music formats had a total value of £230m from April to June in the UK, compared to total sales of £221m in the same period last year.
Acts such as Franz Ferdinand, Joss Stone and The Darkness have boosted UK music sales abroad, the BPI added.

The number of legal downloads sold in the UK this year has now exceeded two million units, the BPI said.
This means sales have increased from a rate of 100,000 per month to 500,000 per month over the past quarter.
