Acts With The Most UK Top 10 Album Weeks
EMELI SANDE
Her 1st Album, ('Our Version Of Events'), spent 10 Weeks at No.1 and it was also
the debut Album with the most consecutive Weeks in the Top 10 - 66. It beat the
1st Beatles Album, ('Please Please Me'), which had 62 consecutive Top 10 Weeks.
Emeli's Album had a 67th Top 10 Week, 2 Weeks after its 66th.
Her 1st Album came out in February 2012, but she has left it far too long to release
her 2nd Album, ('Long Live the Angels'). That is why it has 'only' entered at No.2,
in today's Chart. I doubt if it will hang around the Top 10 very long. From what I hear,
it is not as strong as her 1st Album, and she has lost a great many Fans as it is.
We'll see if she does a Dido, whose first 2 Albums were huge in the UK, but she took too
long to release her 3rd. That entered at No.2 & fell to No.18 in Week 2. Her Career never
recovered. Nor did Duffy, who had a gigantic debut Album, only for her 2nd to enter at
No.9, & it then dropped like a stone.....

Due to Emeli's Album entry today being her 68th UK Top 10 Album Week, I've up-dated these Lists.
THE ACTS WITH THE MOST UK TOP 10 ALBUM WEEKS
(W/E 28th July 1956 to W/E 24th November 2016)
01)… ELVIS PRESLEY – 540 Weeks
02)… THE BEATLES – 469 Weeks
03)… CLIFF RICHARD – 340 Weeks
04)… FRANK SINATRA – 315 Weeks (Not including 22 Weeks with the 1958 ‘Pal Joey’ OST)
05)… ROLLING STONES – 268 Weeks (The OCC say 265 Top 10 Weeks)
06)… MICHAEL JACKSON – 265 Weeks
07)… ROD STEWART – 259 Weeks
08)… SIMON & GARFUNKEL – 240 Weeks

17)… ROBBIE WILLIAMS – 185 Weeks
18)… THE GEORGE MITCHELL MINSTRELS – 171 Weeks
19)… BEACH BOYS – 169 Weeks
20)= SIMPLY RED – 165 Weeks
20)= COLDPLAY – 165 Weeks
= FRANK SINATRA – The OCC have him at No.3 twice, in the Chart of W/E 25th January 1959.
They have both ‘Come Fly With Me’ and ‘Only For The Lonely’ at No.3 – for its 1st & only Top 10 Week.
However, there was no such Chart Entry as ‘Only For The Lonely’, so The OCC give him 1 Top 10 Week
too many – 316. He was in the same Top 10, (at No.9), with ‘Frank Sinatra Sings Only For The Lonely’
and that Album was a No.5 Hit & spent 13 Weeks in the Top 10. It has the same Capital Label Number
as ‘Only For The Lonely’ - LCT 6168. ‘Only For The Lonely’ does not exist in UK Chart Books either.

the Chart of W/E 2nd April 1983. It actually rose from No.23 to No.20 in that Chart. It had 10
Weeks in the Top 10 – not 11. Hence why I get 158 Top 10 Album Weeks for Phil Collins & The
OCC get 159 Top 10 Weeks for him.

That's pretty pathetic regarding the fickle part of the public, who in their mind think an artist has waited too long to release their next album for some people to lose interest, that is probably the kind of buyers who pick up album at Asda during their weekly shop.
Amazed at Rihanna, so much for being labelled a singles artist
Kate Bush has 63 UK Top 10 Album Weeks.
Diana Ross has 62 UK Top 10 Album Weeks.
