Alan Jones says that David Bowie is only the 4th Act to replace himself at No.1
in the UK Album Charts. In fact, he's the 5th Act to achieve that. Alan missed out Bob Dylan. (1965). THE 5 ACTS THAT REPLACED THEMSELVES AT No.1 IN THE UK ALBUM CHART 1)... 7th December 1963 1 (2) WITH THE BEATLES -- THE BEATLES 2 (1) PLEASE PLEASE ME -- THE BEATLES 19th December 1964 1 (4) BEATLES FOR SALE -- THE BEATLES 4 (1) A HARD DAY’S NIGHT -- THE BEATLES 2)... 29th May 1965 1 (10) BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME -- BOB DYLAN 3 (1) THE FREEWHEELIN’ BOB DYLAN -- BOB DYLAN 3)... 5th October 1974 1 (2) TUBULAR BELLS -- MIKE OLDFIELD 2 (1) HERGEST RIDGE -- MIKE OLDFIELD 4)... 11th July 2009 1 (20) THE ESSENTIAL -- MICHAEL JACKSON 3 (1) NUMBER ONES - MICHAEL JACKSON 5)... 11th February 2016 1 (3) BEST OF BOWIE -– DAVID BOWIE 2 (1) BLACKSTAR -- DAVID BOWIE @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ THE SHADOWS The OCC regard Cliff Richard & The Shadows Hits as only belonging to Cliff Richard, so they don't regard these instances as The Shadows replacing themselves at No.1, in the UK Album Chart.. A)... 4th October 1961 1 (4) 21 TODAY - CLIFF RICHARD & THE SHADOWS 3 (1) THE SHADOWS - THE SHADOWS B)... 2nd February 1963 1 (7) SUMMER HOLIDAY (OST) - CLIFF RICHARD & THE SHADOWS 3 (1) OUT OF THE SHADOWS - THE SHADOWS @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ This post has been edited by zeus555: 7th February 2016, 07:48 PM |

Thanks for that. I meant to mention The Beatles, but forgot. Their achievement was remarkable in that With The Beatles climbed to number one (taking six weeks to do so) and then stayed at the top until the follow-up album took over. They then did the same with their next pair of albums. The only other album to top the chart in that period was Rolling Stones No. 2. Dylan's self-replacement came immediately after renewed runs for both the Stones album and Beatles For Sale. Those three artists monopolised the top op the chart for 108 weeks from May 1963.
The Mike Oldfield story is also a strange story as Tubular Bells didn't reach number one until after the release of Hergest Ridge. Who could now hum a tune from Hergest Ridge? |
