Does anyone know why in the BBC Top 40 Album Charts the total number of weeks for most of the older albums vary quite dramatically from the figures quoted here?
For example Abba Gold has 1032 weeks (733 on this chart) The Beatles 1 407 weeks (113), ELO All Over The World 287 weeks (95), Oasis Time Flies 247 (126)

Arctic Monkeys have spent 121 consecutive weeks in the top 100 with AM. Great achievement for a band that's still signed to an independent label. Guess Alex Turner was right about 'that rock and roll' hey?

Hmm, is 68 really Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits. Very odd that the Very Best Of should disappear and Greatest Hits would appear.

Strange that Fleur East's debut has sold poorer than Ben Haenow's considering it was fueled by a much higher selling single "Sax" compared to Ben's "Second Hand Heart" which didn't even go silver unlike Fleur's top three single.

Oh my word, even a world tour and the Xmas
sales boost cannot get 'Rebel Heart' back into
Top 100 albums. Such an underrated album.
Madonna should release 'Joan Of Arc' or
'Rebel Heart' to re-ignite some much-needed
album publicity!!!
Sparky Nolan
But the tour is doing amazingly well - every one sold out. Janet, Britney and Gaga keep having to cancel to "have surgery." Madonna hasn't even cancelled to go to court over the brat.
Michael Heibel
Sorry...but Madonna is over!
etin
Bittch ; world tour wont make a hit her songs
etin
people even dont buy her greatest hits
Sparky Nolan
Oh really? The richest recording star alive beating McCartney.) Get your facts right and check a tour out before looking stupid.
drew
Nobody looks more stupid than Madonna.
Michael Heibel
Don`t be personal...I didn`t offend you too. REBEL HEART isn`t in the year end charts in Germany although it was on No 1!
I love Madonna since 1984 but her time is over.....
Sparky Nolan
Rebel Heart was also the 4th most illegally downloaded album of 2015 - with 20 million downloads..... time over? I think not.....

Rebel Heart was also the 4th most illegally downloaded album of 2015 - with 20 million downloads..... time over? I don't think so...............

20 million downloads ?? is it in your dream ? it even didnt sell 1 million.

Bruno Ferreira
of course she won't sell like she used to.. her fans are now adults, not young people that will stream the heck out of her records and only care about their fave chart positions. she's a estabilished artist, she releases music for her fans and her tours are still grossing more than newbies! so good for her!
drew
6 years older than you then
