Brit acts dominate in album chart of the year so far
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 3 October 2014
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s the ten best selling albums of the year in the UK so far, and good news for UKIP supporters, there’s only one foreigner on this list.
Don’t worry, once Nigel Farage is in government this time next year, he’ll stop that Pharrell Williams taking away work from all those decent, hard working British singing-producing-looking-generally-cool-in-a-hat superstars. Like, erm, Calvin Harris? Does he ever wear a hat?
Anyway, here’s the big top ten best selling artist albums of the year so far, which we are allowed to share with you thanks to the generous dudes over at the Official Chart Company, who only asked for a link back to their website in return, cos you know, everyone’s mee-ja now. Click the link now for one of the best McDonalds ads you’ll ever see. I’m not sure Farage would approve though, better switch it to Little Chef.
