ELO on track to score their first Number 1 album in 35 years

It's been a long time coming, but ELO's All Over The World – The Very Best Of is set to hit Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart for the very first time, over a decade after its original release.

The hits retrospective, which recently passed the million-sales mark after their performance – as Jeff Lynne's ELO – at Glastonbury, was first released in summer 2005, peaking at Number 6.

If All Over The World can hang on until the chart is announced on Friday, it will be ELO's first chart-topping album in 35 years – they last reached Number 1 with Time in August 1981.
