(Source: Music week) 1 BACK TO BEDLAM – JAMES BLUNT Recorded in 2003, released in 2004, and first charting in 2005, former soldier James Blunt’s debut album got off to a slow start, with first week sales of just 482 – not enough to secure a placing in the chart. It remained outside the Top 75 for a further 20 weeks, finally entering the list when You’re Beautiful started to receive airplay. The album arrived at the top of the chart in July of that year, a week before You’re Beautiful topped the singles list. Three further hits were plucked from the album, which continues to sell well, adding nearly 28,000 to its overall sales thus far in 2008, to reach 3,120,833 sales. 2 NO ANGEL – DIDO Dido’s 2000 debut album was kickstarted into action when Eminem sampled one of its tracks, Thank You, for his hit single Stan. Thank You subsequently became one of three Top 10 singles plucked from No ANgel, which spent six weeks at number one, and was in the Top 10 for 32 weeks in a row. It sells very slowly now, adding just 2,015 copies so far in 2008 for a to date total of 3,023,288. 3 WHITE LADDER – DAVID GRAY Mancunian singer/songwriter David Gray’s first three albums all fell short of the Top 75 but his fourth, White Ladder, made its introductory chart appearance at number 69 on sales of 2,056 in May 2000, with demand stoked by the success of introductory single Babylon, which subsequently peaked at number five. The album spawned four further Top 40 hits but it took it well over a year to reach number one. Sales to date of 2,888,025 include 4,593 this year. 4 LIFE FOR RENT – DIDO Following up an album as successful as No Angel was a daunting prospect for Dido but with introductory single White Flag reaching number two, Life For Rent hit the ground running in 2003, with a spectacular first week sale of 400,351. It subsequently stormed past its first million sales in 43 days – and then sped up, reaching the magical 2m. mark on its 85th day in the shops. By year’s end, it had sold 2,168,302. It has slowed down somewhat since then but has so far sold 2,823,569 copies, including 2,180 this year. 5 1 – THE BEATLES Collecting together all 27 of The Beatles’ British and American number one singles more than 30 years after the fact, 1 was a triumph of marketing, and stormed to the top of the chart the week it was released in 2000, on sales of 319,126. It spent its first nine weeks at number one, and had sold nearly 2m. copies by the time it was dethroned in January 2001. The only compilation to make the 21st century Top 10, 1 has sold 2,775,654 copies, including 7,361 this year. 6 SCISSOR SISTERS – SCISSOR SISTERS After introductory single Laura scraped to a number 54 peak, The Scissor Sisters’ quirky electro cover of Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb raced to number 10 on the UK singles chart providing the impetus for their self-titled debut album to sell 21,395 copies on its first week in the shops, to earn a number 11 debut in February 2006. Proving to be far from one trick ponies, their ultra-commercial hit-laden album also generated Top 20 hits in the form of Take Your Mama, the reissued Laura and Mary before the last single off the set – Filthy/Gorgeous – became the biggest hit of them all, climbing to number five. The album rose to number one on three separate occasions, and has so far sold 2,686,705 copies, including 7,376 this year. 7 A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD – COLDPLAY Coldplay’s 2000 debut Parachutes was one of the most impressive ever, spinning off the hits Shiver, Yellow and Trouble, and selling nearly 2.4m copies. The anticipation of follow-up A Rush Of Blood To The Head was intensified by the enormous popularity of first single In My Place, which reached number two. The album duly raced to first week sales of 273,924. With subsequent single The Scientist and Clocks also reaching the Top 10, the album spent more than a year in the Top 40, and has accumulated sales of 2,638,927, including 9,683 this year. 8 HOPES AND FEARS – Keane Keane had already reached #3 with debut single Somewhere Only We Know and #4 with follow-up Everybody’s Changing, when their first album, Hopes And Fears, rocketed straight to #1 in May 2004 with first week sales of 155,373. The first UK rock band to debut atop the album chart since July 2000 when Coldplay - a band with whom they are often compared - did likewise, they took a further two Top 20 singles off the album. Their melodic, piano-based style has made them very popular, and Hopes And Fears has so far sold 2,627,253, including 8,733 this year. 9 X&Y – COLDPLAY Just as In My Place set the pace for A Rush Of Blood To The Head, Speed Of Sound was the first single from Coldplay’s follow-up album, X&Y, and also raced to number two. Although the band’s two previous albums selling 5m copies between them, it was still something of a surprise that X&Y scorched to the second highest first week sales in history to that point, selling a stellar 464,471 copies to debut emphatically at number one in June 2003. Number one for four weeks, it has now sold 2,473,433 copies, 17,511 of them this year. 10 BACK TO BLACK – AMY WINEHOUSE 2,467,575 sales, of which 318,350 have been made in the last 10 weeks. The album will overtake Coldplay’s X&Y later this week to rank ninth for the 21st century, and seems certain to replace the other ‘Back To’ behemoth – James Blunt’s Back To Bedlam – at the top of the 21st century best-sellers list in due course. 11 COME AWAY WITH ME-NORAH JONES 2,432,712 12 PARACHUTES-COLDPLAY 2,385,676 13 BEAUTIFUL WORLD-TAKE THAT 2,372,280 14 THE MARSHALL MATHERS LP- EMINEM 2,245,624 15 SWING WHEN YOU'RE WINNING- ROBBIE WILLIAMS 2,235,240 16 SING WHEN YOU'RE WINNING-ROBBIE WILLIAMS 2,187,283 17 EYES OPEN-SNOW PATROL 2,098,620 18 GREATEST HITS- ROBBIE WILLIAMS 2,095,703 19 ESCAPOLOGY- ROBBIE WILLIAMS 2,047,299 20 The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ By The Way has sold 1,945,495 copies.

wow...i don't think shes ever had two songs in the top 10 at the same time

the loving kind now in the top 80! :-)

wow two number 1s in iTunes this year (at least briefly lol)

lol the kixx?

you must think back to the essence of a single, a properly released physical that would contain one song off of an artist in the form of a record. All this changed with the download era. Let's say a song that becomes quite popular from a new album released by P!nk charts in the top 40, momentum build up with the repeated appearance of it in the chart show and rises to the top 20. Unless there is an OFFICIAL statement by the record company or the artist's website claiming that the song is the new single, it is by NO MEANS in this modern age a "single". In any case this would definitely be a "CHARTING TRACK". I agree with whoever it was that said the definition of a single should be re-mapped to fit in with the digital age. Going by this, the madonna, kylie and mcfly records would be broken, while the westlife and girls aloud remain. If GA had another 3 St Trinians that charted at 75, 34 and 46, I would still think they have 19 consecutive top ten singles. If a proper single (one which the girls claim is a single, a video is released and actively promoted), on the other hand, reached #13, that record would be gone.

obviously manipulated, why would they remove it exactly after being number 1

i agree with you, in theory because it was Britney week, but i think its great that she actually performed

and they didnt mentor them did they?

Yea, but it wasn't GIRLS ALOUD wekk, whilst it was Britney week when she appeared.....or did I miss Dianna Vickers singing Something Kinda OOh :lol:

be here now will always be the symbol of fastest selling album in the UK

i see this song is rising up ....almost t 100 in itunes
