Adele seems to have been number one on the album chart for as long as I can remember. I don’t remember a time when she wasn’t the best-seller of the week, and struggle to believe there are many people left in the world that haven’t bought ’21’ yet. Imagine my excitement then to see that we may have finally found the long-play set to succeed where so many others have fallen at the final hurdle. Kate Bush’s latest release tops the Wednesday midweek list, and having heard Deeper Understanding from the Phoenix FM A List it’s clear to see why.
Every afternoon on Drive we take a look at the top 20 singles and albums based on sales up to midnight the night before… in the absence of a live guest on today’s show, here’s how the rundowns are looking, where you can see a live performance from Lady GaGa in the UK at the weekend has boosted her sales and seen her overtake Adele in the chart domination stakes.
