context_page_description: The UK Indie Chart is a weekly chart that ranks the biggest-selling singles that are released on independent record labels in the United Kingdom. The chart is compiled by the Official Charts Company, and is based on both physical and digital single sales. During 2006, 36 singles reached number one.
  The biggest-selling indie hit of the year was "JCB" by Nizlopi, which sold over 146,000 copies during 2006, despite having been released the previous year. Other high-selling indie hits included "Love Don't Let Me Go" by David Guetta vs. The Egg, which sold 132,000 singles and reached the top three of the UK Singles Chart, and "When the Sun Goes Down" by Arctic Monkeys, which sold over 123,000 copies and reached number one on the UK Singles Chart.
