21 hours ago21 hr Relieved to see sales at the top approaching respectable levels. The music industry has woken up finally with all this movement. Great album sales for Fontaines too!What was the last Welsh featuring No.1 overall? Louder which had Sian Evans on vocals, and before that Barry Islands In The Stream? Or have I forgotten something more recent? It is nice to see another Welsh act at the top, and Babydoll is fun, it's nice to see a lot of fresh pop songs doing well in the top four, and bringing sales back out of the gutter.
