Little fun fact, Lady Gaga charts at 3 with first week sale's of 26,694 and Fleur East charted at 14 last year with first week sale's of 26,691, I know that it is fair and understand why, but seems unfair really.

I am surprised Lady Gaga has not gone straight in at number 1. Where has the Blackberry Smoke album gone.

Dear oh dear Melanie C you barely beat Mr Chaplin's sadly disappointing second week sale's for his lovely album, that spice girls reunion on second thought's ay...... To be fair to you girl a very decent album, well done, happy to see Michael Buble doing well, nice bloke, and a really great style of music, Lady Gaga doing well too making the top 3, the king of rock rocking on at number 1, wouldn't it be ironic if his album holds Robbie William's 'The Heavy Entertainment Show' from the top when it is released, considering it is his record of chart topping albums Robbie might beat with this album, you might have to consult this to Elvis himself Mr Williams I think he might have something to say about your album record ambition's.

I was not aware Williams would beat Elvis's record as he only tied with Madonna before this.

I got it slightly wrong, he'd of tied with Elvis Presley but he has just scored his thirteenth now so Robbie can only tie with him and Madonna now as Robbie currently has 11 topper's, I forgot Elvis Presley now has another.

Sorry but wont Robbie just tie with Madonna on 12 if he gets another number 1 has this will put him on 12 with her and still leave Elvis at number 1 with 13 charttoppers.

Robbie Williams will not tie with Elvis Presley - Presley has 13 No.1 albums, Williams currently on 11. Elvis has broken so many chart records it's practically off the map: longest run of No.1 albums (60 years!), most No.1 albums for a solo artist (13), first time he's had different No.1 albums in consecutive years since 1961/1962 (before The Beatles!), 5th posthumous No.1 album (two ahead of Michael Jackson & three ahead of David Bowie). The records just keep falling for The King and there's no reason to doubt that he could conceivably have three more and trump The Beatles.
