It beat the 1st Beatles Album, ('Please Please Me'), which had 62 consecutive Top 10 Weeks. Emeli's Album had a 67th Top 10 Week, 2 Weeks after its 66th. Her 1st Album came out in February 2012, but she has left it far too long to release her 2nd Album, ('Long Live the Angels'). That is why it has 'only' entered at No.2, in today's Chart. I doubt if it will hang around the Top 10 very long. From what I hear, it is not as strong as her 1st Album, and she has lost a great many Fans as it is. We'll see if she does a Dido, whose first 2 Albums were huge in the UK, but she took too long to release her 3rd. That entered at No.2 & fell to No.18 in Week 2. Her Career never recovered. Nor did Duffy, who had a gigantic debut Album, only for her 2nd to enter at No.9, & it then dropped like a stone..... @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Due to Emeli's Album entry today being her 68th UK Top 10 Album Week, I've up-dated these Lists. THE ACTS WITH THE MOST UK TOP 10 ALBUM WEEKS (W/E 28th July 1956 to W/E 24th November 2016) 01)… ELVIS PRESLEY – 540 Weeks 02)… THE BEATLES – 469 Weeks 03)… CLIFF RICHARD – 340 Weeks 04)… FRANK SINATRA – 315 Weeks (Not including 22 Weeks with the 1958 ‘Pal Joey’ OST) @@@ 05)… ROLLING STONES – 268 Weeks (The OCC say 265 Top 10 Weeks) 06)… MICHAEL JACKSON – 265 Weeks 07)… ROD STEWART – 259 Weeks 08)… SIMON & GARFUNKEL – 240 Weeks 09)… ABBA – 224 Weeks 10)… MADONNA – 219 Weeks (Not including 6 Weeks with the 1987 ‘Who’s That Girl?’ OST) 11)… ELTON JOHN – 217 Weeks 12)… QUEEN – 210 Weeks 13)… BOB DYLAN – 199 Weeks 14)… THE SHADOWS – 195 Weeks (Not including 235 Weeks with Cliff Richard) 15)… PAUL McCARTNEY // WINGS – 192 Weeks 16)… DAVID BOWIE – 191 Weeks 17)… ROBBIE WILLIAMS – 185 Weeks 18)… THE GEORGE MITCHELL MINSTRELS – 171 Weeks 19)… BEACH BOYS – 169 Weeks 20)= SIMPLY RED – 165 Weeks 20)= COLDPLAY – 165 Weeks @@@ = FRANK SINATRA – The OCC have him at No.3 twice, in the Chart of W/E 25th January 1959. They have both ‘Come Fly With Me’ and ‘Only For The Lonely’ at No.3 – for its 1st & only Top 10 Week. However, there was no such Chart Entry as ‘Only For The Lonely’, so The OCC give him 1 Top 10 Week too many – 316. He was in the same Top 10, (at No.9), with ‘Frank Sinatra Sings Only For The Lonely’ and that Album was a No.5 Hit & spent 13 Weeks in the Top 10. It has the same Capital Label Number as ‘Only For The Lonely’ - LCT 6168. ‘Only For The Lonely’ does not exist in UK Chart Books either. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ MALE SOLO ACTS WITH THE MOST UK TOP 10 ALBUMS WEEKS (W/E 28th July 1956 to W/E 24th November 2016) 01)… ELVIS PRESLEY – 540 Weeks 02)… CLIFF RICHARD – 340 Weeks 03)… FRANK SINATRA – 315 Weeks (Not including 22 Weeks with the 1958 ‘Pal Joey’ OST) 04)… MICHAEL JACKSON – 265 Weeks 05)… ROD STEWART – 259 Weeks 06)… ELTON JOHN – 217 Weeks 07)… BOB DYLAN – 199 Weeks 08)… DAVID BOWIE – 191 Weeks 09)… ROBBIE WILLIAMS – 185 Weeks 10)… PHIL COLLINS – 158 Weeks @@@ 11)… TOM JONES – 153 Weeks 12)… ED SHEERAN – 129 Weeks 13)… ANDY WILLIAMS – 118 Weeks 14)… MIKE OLDFIELD – 115 Weeks 15)… BUDDY HOLLY – 106 Weeks (Includes 1 Week credited with The Crickets in 1958) @@@ = PHIL COLLINS – The OCC has ‘Hello I Must Be Going’ rising from No.23 to No.9 in the Chart of W/E 2nd April 1983. It actually rose from No.23 to No.20 in that Chart. It had 10 Weeks in the Top 10 – not 11. Hence why I get 158 Top 10 Album Weeks for Phil Collins & The OCC get 159 Top 10 Weeks for him. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ FEMALE SOLO ACTS WITH THE MOST UK TOP 10 ALBUMS WEEKS (W/E 28th July 1956 to W/E 24th November 2016) 01)… MADONNA – 219 Weeks (Not including 6 Weeks with the 1987 ‘Who’s That Girl?’ OST) 02)… ADELE – 160 Weeks 03)… CELINE DION – 134 Weeks 04)… BARBRA STREISAND – 113 Weeks (Including 23 Weeks with the 1977 ‘A Star Is Born’ OST) 05)… RIHANNA – 106 Weeks 06)… WHITNEY HOUSTON – 96 Weeks 07)… KYLIE MINOGUE – 94 Weeks 08)… LADY GAGA – 89 Weeks 09)… AMY WINEHOUSE – 82 Weeks 10)… DIDO – 79 Weeks 11)… TINA TURNER – 76 Weeks 12)… PINK – 74 Weeks 13)… MARIAH CAREY – 73 Weeks 14)… BEYONCE – 71 Weeks 15)… EMELI SANDE – 68 Weeks NOTE – BRITNEY SPEARS – In case anyone is wondering how many UK Top 10 Album Weeks Britney Spears has had – it is 34 Weeks. She’s had 6 UK No.1 Singles, but she’s never had a UK No.1 Album. She’s had 5 UK No.2 Albums. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ This post has been edited by zeus555: 18th November 2016, 06:47 PM
