Bit geeky I know but I love the fact that in both charts numbers 5, 3 and 1 are all new entries :lol:

The #5 album is far from a new entry :P

Blunty grabbing that 3rd consecutive top 100 hit from Moon Landing *.* Amazing!

 

LOL at that Avicii back to back triple too :lol:

Aside from Christmas albums and Girls Aloud's 'The Sound Of - The Greatest Hits' which vanished from #10 due to being relegated to the budget chart, the highest position from which an album has dropped directly out of the top 100 since the top 100 has been published on the OCC website (mid-2007) was, I believe, #18 for Shinedown's 'Amaryllis' in 2012. I can only think of one other non-exceptional drop from the top 15 to the bottom 10, that was Matchbox Twenty's 'North' which dropped 14-96 in 2012 (and curiously climbed back up to #95 in its third week, so perhaps there's hope for Tori!!!) but there may be others that have slipped my memory.

 

Not quite the top 15 but Dream Theater's 'A Dramatic Turn Of Events' dropped 17-98 in 2011.

 

EDIT: Oh I completely forgot to check this year! Reverend & The Makers' 'ThirtyTwo' beat that 'record' by Shinedown by dropping straight out from #13 earlier in the year (and it was also beaten by Architects' 'Lost Forever // Lost Together' dropping out from #16 a few weeks later).

 

(To actually answer your question though, generally no :P)

 

 

Thanks for the encyclopaedic knowledge, Bre. :D

Gary Barlow remaining relatively steady in both charts is wonderful, his chart run for let me go and since i saw you last is impressive.

I'm glad Tennis Court managed to scrape the top 100 second time round.
