('Ceremonials' is next in line to join the longest running albums list, with 'Lungs' still holding - what will be the next of the current 10 to drop out? Probably either 'Loud' or 'No More Idols').

Edited December 11, 201213 yr by Michael Bubré

Chase and Status' No More Idols spending 86 consecutive weeks in the Top 100 really surprises me. It had a fair few singles released from it, but I'd never have thought it to do this well when it was first released, especially considering it's a dance/drum and bass/dubstep/whatever album.
