it's so weird for me to see rick astley on the current albums chart...over here, i haven't seen him do anything since the 80s :D and for ed's 'x' album, the cover art is different over here, it'd be just the 'x' and the green background.

Still nice to see Elvis with 3 entries in the chart.Expect to see more of this in August when it is 40 years since his death.
