Up in its usual place on the front page and the latest news box. A bit of a struggle to find something to say this week.

Suedehead2 - 'Bridge Over Troubled Water', (& its initial 13 consecutive No.1 Weeks), is only

the Album Chart Record for an Artist Album, as regards a No.1 Album's first Chart Weeks.

 

The 'Record Holder' is actually the 'My Fair Lady' Album, (Original Broadway Cast), from

1958. That went in at No.1, & stayed there for 19 Weeks.

 

Here is the Artist Album List, anyhow:,

 

ARTIST NUMBER 1 ALBUMS - WITH 11 - OR MORE - CONSECUTIVE WEEKS AT No.1

 

(TOTAL WEEKS AT NO.1 IN BRACKETS - AS IS THE YEAR OF RELEASE)

 

This List shows the UK No.1 ARTIST Albums, which have had the most consecutive Weeks at No.1. This List excludes OST Albums, & Original Stage Cast Albums. (Except the OST Albums by Elvis Presley, & Cliff Richard & The Shadows, as they are Artist Albums). (I also indicate which of the Albums were at No.1 over Christmas & New Year)

 

(I show which are STUDIO Albums, & which are HITS Compilations)
