I thought Frank Zappa had some Czech or Slovak connections, but turns out he was only an ambassador for Czechoslovakia and was born in the US. Hadn't realised he had a charting single before though - 'Cheap Thrills' made #83 posthumously in 1998!

B-Complex is the only artist that springs to mind but think he has only charted in the dance or indie chart not officially.

This is giving me vibes of that time a poster on here said that people were talking about "Ordinary" down the pub. 😂

I was gonna ask Hadji what was the reaction when ‘Ordinary’ was played 🤣

The bar I go usually play that at the end of the night as their way of kicking people out

ADÉLA AT 86

As a Czech I love seeing a slovak artist in the UK chart. The only charting artist there from former Czechoslovakia is Jan Hammer (who got US citizenship anyway).

Manifesting this opening the doors for the public to discover this Slovak masterpiece xx

They’ve just dropped an official video for the Lewis/Sam collab of RMI and sent it out via text and email to the Sam database -

Have they put it on itunes, spotify and a vinyl release yet

If it's on Lewis' YouTube channel won't it count as a separate chart entry as he's the lead artist in this case?

It’s Polydor (Sam’s label) pushing it so guessing not?

I’m not sure quite what you mean, but it’s officially one of the biggest selling albums of all time.

It’s one of the 10 all-time best sellers, alongside current charting albums ‘Rumours’ and ‘Thriller’.

Exactly what I said most artists that released 30 million selling albums years ago wouldnt be able to replicate that success today

Thanks for clarifying what you meant.

That can be extended to most artists of any era when they have a massive album.

Charli XCX is unlikely to replicate the commercial success of BRAT. Adele is unlikely to replicate the success of 21, etc.

On that note, it would be interesting to know if anyone can think of an artist who had a hugely successful album, and everyone thought they had reached their commercial peak, only to release a bigger album later in their career?

In the UK, Fleetwood Mac is an ‘almost’ example. Though ‘Rumours’ remains their big selling album both in the UK and worldwide, they released several albums after ‘Rumours’ before ‘Tango In The Night’ became one of the biggest selling albums of the 80s.
