Jack White topples The Beatles as best-selling vinyl of 2012



Jack White's solo debut album, "Blunderbuss", has been named the biggest selling vinyl album of 2012.

The project sold more than 33,000 copies, according to Nielsen Soundscan's vinyl charts.

Knocking the Beatles' "Abbey Road" off the top spot - a position it had held the previous three years - "Blunderbuss" sales are the highest for a new album (not a catalog album) since Soundscan began specifically tracking vinyl in 2008.

White is currently nominated for three Grammys from "Blunderbuss", including Album of the Year.
