They'd have been only the 5th Group, (or Duo - Simon & Garfunkel), to have 210, (or more), Top 10 Album Weeks in the UK.

So it has Bonus Tracks - compared to the Tracks that it had in 1984, when it spent 12 Weeks at No.1 & 20 Weeks in the Top 10. As long as the Top 10 Re-Entry has added Tracks, I show it via the @@@ Symbols.

That may be true but I think it's a bit misleading as it implies it's re-entered because of the new tracks which isn't the case (whereas it is to some extent with the rest of the marked albums).

I know how frustrating it is to research something (like weeks in the top ten) and then find it is only semi-relevant. Still worth reporting though! I meant to check when Legend was last in the top ten but didn't get round to it. The albums chart was a bit busy this week! I have also corrected Ten Walls' given name after Haven's Lithuanian member provided the information.
