This weeks pontifications can be found from the latest news box or the front page.

A few Weeks ago, I told you that Ed Sheeran had become the 1st Act to manage 3 Albums with a Year - or more - in the UK Top 10.

 

He has now become the 1st Act to have more than 1 Album, to spend a Year - or more - in the UK Top 5.

 

Ed is one of only 6 Acts, to have an Album, with a Year or more, in the Top 5. It has only been achieved by 7 Artist Albums & now Ed

has 2 of them. Only 16 Albums - of any Genre - have achieved it.

 

NOTE -- Julie Andrews is on 3 Albums in the 'All Genres' List - No.2, No.7 & No.15 - but they are 'Various Artists' Albums.
