Thius chart last year The Pogues re-entered the top 75 at 53 & Mariah at 56. O Holy Night was also an xmas new entry for Hartwell Primary school which would peak at 39 the following week.

 

Ladywell Primary School.

 

I knew i had said it wrong lol!

Smalltown Boy back in the Top100 following this being on the Christmas Boots advert. Wasn't the music video controversial?

Hey, I was just about to post that... :)

What's the reason for One Direction's debut album being higher this week than their second album? Is it discounted or something? I don't get who's still buying it!

 

It's being sold for a fiver in Tesco's bargain chart so that could be a help, whereas Take Me Home isn't.

That would make sense but it still doesn't explain who's still buying it two years down the line when they're on the brink of their third album! Surely any 1D fan would own it by now. Or maybe younger kids are getting into 1D as they get into music? That's the only rational explanation I can think of.

Some people outside their fan-base think that One Direction have got better since they started (and I agree, much more mature sound now) so perhaps they've decided to check out their previous albums which they wouldn't have ever considered doing when they were original released.

Robbie Williams is the first male artist to have 3 #1 albums this decade ('Swings Both Ways' following 'In And Out Of Consciousness - Greatest Hits 1990-2010' and 'Take The Crown'). Lady Gaga was the 2nd artist overall to achieve it just last week. The first was almost inevitably Rihanna.

 

The other artists with 2 #1 albums in the 2010s to date are Amy Winehouse, Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, Bruno Mars, Eminem, Florence + The Machine, Katy Perry, Keane, Kings Of Leon, Michael Bublé, Olly Murs, Plan B and Susan Boyle.

Anyone have any clue why Justin Timberlake's 'The Complete Experience' is back so high? I would guess it's discounted somewhere.

So 'Radioactive' doesn't quite appear on every chart of 2013.
