Estonia doesn't get mentioned very often so you cannot begrudge them this moment in the limelight

I wonder if there will be a Latvian of some kind to complete the trio soon. One more thing by the way - Mr Probz' chart weeks have been consecutive. (Oh and another thing, you omitted Damien Rice's name from his paragraph )

My excuse was that he had used his letters quota with his unnecessarily long album title

THE TOP 200 -- I believe that 'Gold' has 1043 Top 200 Weeks. The OCC says 972 Weeks, as it only starts counting from about February 1994 when it began doing the UK Charts. 'Gold' had already had 71 Top 200 weeks by then. 972 + 71 = 1043 Weeks. 'Greatest Hits' by Queen has over 1,200 Top 200 Weeks, & 'Legend' by Bob Marley & The Wailers has over 1,100 Top 200 Weeks. LIST A…..ALBUMS WITH THE MOST TOP 75 WEEKS 1)... Gold - Greatest Hits - ABBA - 470 Weeks 2)... Bat Out Of Hell - Meat Loaf - 451 Weeks 3)... Greatest Hits - Queen - 434 Weeks 4)... Legend - Bob Marley & The Wailers - 426 Weeks 5)... Rumours - Fleetwood Mac - 416 Weeks 6)...
