Lastest commentary on the front page and the latest news box.

Any reason you mentioned Jason sampled Banana Boat but you didn't mention it samples Show Me Love much more prevalently? :P

Because I like to go further back in time when given the opportunity :D Also the Banana Boat Song sort of provides the song's name :P

Because 'Born This Way', (Lady GaGa), has returned to No.1, in the Album Chart, I

have compiled this Chart Trivia, on the Acts who have returned to No.1, with their

1st 2 UK No.1 Albums.

 

LUCIANO PAVAROTTI - I've NOT counted him, as whilst 'The Essential Pavarotti',

was a 2 'Run' No.1, (1990), his 2nd No.1 Album, was 'In Concert', (also a 2 'Run'

No.1, in 1990), but that was also with Jose Carreras, & Placido Domingo.

 

(NOTE - I'm NOT counting 'The Fame Monster' as Lady Gaga's 2nd Studio Album,

as The OCC regard it as the same Album as 'The Fame'. Nor do I count the 2010

'The Remix' Album as her 2nd Album, as that was just Remixes of her 'The Fame' Album).

 

Which means that:,

 

LADY GAGA - THE 11th ACT TO RETURN TO No.1 WITH THEIR 1st 2 No.1 ALBUMS

The 11 Acts are:,

Thanks for that. I'm a bit surprised the number is so low. It's obviously a lot rarer than I thought.
