“Elvis is English”
David Bowie continues to impact the UK album chart, with ★ holding at Number 1 for a third week.
He also dominates the Top 10 with the five albums pictured here, not to mention 12 spots on this week’s Official Albums Chart Top 40 and a total of 18 albums in the Top 80.
This feat means Bowie is the first act to score five albums in the Top 10 since Michael Jackson managed six in 2009 after his passing.
The 12 Top 40 places brings Bowie level with Elvis Presley’s chart record for simultaneous Top 40 entries, which the King achieved following his death in 1977.
