Surely thats gotta be a first for an artist to chart soley on downloads alone (in the case of Ariana). Considering you cannot buy a physical copy of the album in the UK>?

It's not a first, as I just said :P Frank Ocean got to #2 on downloads alone. A download-only #1 album can't be too far off.

Olly Murs cruising and slaying the top 35 this week :heart:

OCC has labeled Mike Oldfield's albums as new entries... wonder why?

I thought that was what they usually did with re-entries to the T200 (as with the Whitney song on the singles chart). In any case, these albums have changed label (and of course catalogue number) since they last charted.

OCC has labeled Mike Oldfield's albums as new entries... wonder why?

 

Presumably they haven't charted for a very long time. The figures on the OCC website only date back to a certain point.

86 N 1 Joseph Calleja, BBC Concert Orchestra and Steven Mercurio Amore

 

Great to see a Maltese artist getting a Top 100 Album in the UK. Does anyone know whether J.Calleja has had any previous charting albums before?

 

It has been a good humble year for my country this year after Gianluca Bezzina became the first proper (by that, I mean not just a descendent, as in that case even Lauren Aquilina would count for 2013) Maltese to get to the Top 100 single chart with 'Tomorrow' as well. :D

This is the lowest charting of Joseph Calleja's 3 top 100 albums to date! He got to #65 with 'The Maltese Tenor' in 2011 and #63 with 'Be My Love - A Tribute To Mario Lanza' (also with BBC Concert Orchestra and Steven Mercurio) last year.
