LIAM GALLAGHER

Liam Gallagher, former frontman of Oasis and later Beady Eye, finally released his first solo material in 2017 and has gone on to secure an impressive string of Number 1 albums under his own name.

His debut solo album As You Were became the fastest-selling vinyl album in over 20 years upon its release, and racked up 103,000 combined sales overall in its opening week in October 2017, outselling the rest of the Official Albums Chart Top 10 combined that week. The song Wall of Glass also peaked at Number 21 following a performance at the One Love Manchester benefit concert.

Shouldn't his cover of "Carnation" by The Jam, that he did with Steve Cradock come first in the singles list? Which was actually a double a-side with Buffalo Tom's cover of "Going Underground", released 1999. And then there's his collaboration with Death In Vegas on "Scorpio Rising" from 2002, but I don't think he was credited on the single though.

when a song as good as Wall of glass only hits 60, official charts it's time to re-examine what you allow in. Enough's enough with all the X-Factor marketed to kiddies stuff (can't you give that it's own kiddie chart) and make the official charts for real music again? I think the 'real' charts don't start until position 50 these days, there by musical merit, the top 20 is there due to advertising, PR, marketing to the kids etc (sure it's always been that way but there used to be some semblance of trying to keep it real).

Hi Polysix, Wall Of Glass charted at Number 60 on last week's chart, after just one day on sale. It's set for quite a big climb this week. See the latest here: http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart-update/

It reached number 21 but to the young people Liam Gallagher is just an old codger who was lead singer of a big band 25 years ago.

The official charts do not choose what goes in by quality. They set rules as to what qualifies and then it's a matter of adding up the numbers. They had to change the rules when Ed Sheeran's "Divide" album took up almost the entire top 20 singles.
