Is this official?! I thought after the failure of "Girl on Fire" and The Element of Freedom not reaching #1, Girl on Fire had no chance - I'm pleased though, even though as an album it's very weak.

Girl On Fire hasn't really failed, it's her highest peaking single in ages (#11 currently). Her last album sold like 400k first week too!

"Girl on Fire" is a bigger success than any single from the last album though isn't it? None of them even got near to top 10 (aside from the original Empire State Of Mind which was of course #1). I guess she took advantage of a less competitive market/week whereas last time she was blocked by Susan Boyle who was at the peak of her hype.

 

I can see why they used to put old christmas albums on the catalogue chart :lol:

 

I count 77 xmas albums in the Top 200, and that's just the obvious christmas/holiday titles.
