Nice to see Dido at 69. A top 75 hit in 2013 is good enough I think.

 

Big drop for Lawson as expected and a nice entry for Daylight too :)

I saw an advert on TV for "Warrior" which must have had an effect. I've fallen madly in love with it again this week (so maybe my looning of it on Twitter helped too :kink:)

 

Autre Ne Veut didn't sell enough to make the Top 100 albums! :o :(

Gutted. Probably my favourite album released this year :(

the 1975 at 42 argh. hope they creep in next week.

 

expected Palma Violets to go higher in the albums

BEST #1 IN AN AGE.

 

Probably since Robyn way back in 2007 (move over Gotye).

Late update for the archive (with a LOT of additional notes, too many former group members having solo new entries this week :P I hope I've got all of them for Johnny Marr and I'm trusting myself to have correctly counted Bob Dylan's number of chart albums when 'Tempest' entered :lol:)
