Commonwealth Games closing ceremony.

 

 

Thanks!

 

Btw, the longevity of Elbow's album is amazing. No hit singles and not even a new video since My Sad Captains in early spring.

Nico & Vinz Chart Run: 72-58-53-52-1

 

I think we be seeing more of this in the not so distant future were acts just climb to #1 from outside the top 40.

 

 

Indeed even if it wasnt released this week it would have fallen just short of the top 40 with just over 9k sales Marron 5 sold 9,800 or so at No 40!

How is bad by David Guetta nearly back in the top 40 on both charts?

 

Not sure, but it's held up really well in fairness to it.

Finally a decent Top 3 with a great number 1!

The quality of the majority of other tracks in the Top 100 is very dubious though. Besides, there are way too many oldies :(

 

And who on earth is buying Dolly Parton's cringe worthy country album? :o

Blue Smoke is half a GH album in the UK. Very clever if you ask me.

Certainly one way to trick people into buying an all-new Dolly Parton album :lol: It's being marketed more as a GH as far as I'm aware.

Kinda like the recent Blondie double album?
