MJ 'Thriller' in the UK this album was a relative flop when it was first released, it was only after about 8 weeks it took off. and then stayed in the top ten(Cept for two weeks) for for over a year!

I think Dido's first album just hovered in the lower half the top twenty for about 10 weeks, before it took off.

Most of Eva Cassidy's work was released posthumously and her first album wasn't a hit until well after her death in 1996.

Robbie William's first album took 30 weeks to get to number one.

Katie Melua has a sleeper hit album out now. It has already sold a third of a million and should be in top 20 for first time on Sunday. I see this going on to sell a million.

If you have heard this album, you'll know why.

Well if the songs are anything like "Crazy" then I wouldn't take the CD if they were giving it away.
