Lily Allen’s new album has shot straight to the top of the chart, while her single also remains at number one.
It’s Not Me, It’s You is the 23-year-old pop star’s second album, and her first number one, after her 2006 debut Alright, Still made number two.
The album’s first single, The Fear, has topped the chart for a third week.
Prodigy’s comeback single Omen is a new entry at number eight, while Morrissey has a new entry at number 21 with I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris.
In the album chart, Kings of Leon remain at number two with Only By The Night, while Valentine’s Day sales helped propel UB40 and the late Luther Vandross up the charts.
UB40 compilation Love Songs rose to number three, the best performance by the Birmingham reggae veterans since 1993 album Promises and Lies.
A similarly-titled collection of Vandross songs, Lovesongs, rose to number four.
Bette Midler’s The Best Bette rose to number six, while US rock band The Fray saw their self-titled second album enter the chart at number eight.
Good to hear, I was hoping it would go back into the top 10!.
Looks like she might reach the Half a million sales mark, how amazing would that be!
Hey…
You never know with the great sales this album has had – she may do a UK tour!
By the way, does anyone know if the Vegas tour will be filmed and released on DVD?
Cheers
How many has she sold so far?
Matt,
The Vegas show is supposedly being recorded as a live CD, but not a DVD. Hopefully that will change. And, no, I don’t know why she doesn’t want to film it.
Not sure Prince Charming. If it keeps selling like it does I bet she will give thought to playing there….
I heard her say that she doesn’t want to release it on DVD because she wants people to go to the city and check it out. I think thats kinda bad. First of all there are tons of fans that want to go but can’t afford it and they’re too young to go and see it by themselves (Jess). I think that she just wants the money. I don’t blame her. lol
LOL Well I hope she comes to her senses!! She could release a DVD afterwards and surprise us….
They said on one show, or radio interview (cant remember which), that the album had sold over 400,000 copies, and it must have sold quite a few copies last week to make it back into the top ten.
I hope she does too. I have a feeling she will do that. Celine did it so Bette should. 😀 I’m sure Bette’s visit to the YUK helped with her sales. She should have ben nominated for something. She is doing so well. I wonder what she does with all of her money…
I know she puts a lot of money back into her charities like NYRP and educational type things, otherwise I have no idea.
What awards shows do they have over in the YUK I wonder???
