Classic FM Chart: A brand new No. 1 knocks Jess Gillam from the top spot
19 May 2019, 18:55
A new album of classical favourites, 100 Hits – The Best Classical Album, has nudged Jess Gillam from the No. 1 spot in this week's chart.
Saxophonist Jess Gillam only enjoyed one week at No. 1 on the Classic FM Chart, as a new entry, 100 Hits – The Best Classical Album, has entered at No. 1. Einaudi's long-time favourite album Islands has jumped back up to No. 2, while Katherine Jenkins moves up two places to No. 3 with her album Guiding Light.
Three other new entries make it on to the chart: The Sixteen's anniversary album 40 – The Anniversary Collection at No. 10, Titan – a recording of Mahler's work conducted by François-Xavier Roth at No. 17, and the soundtrack to the critically acclaimed film Tolkien by Thomas Newman at No. 30.
Two albums re-enter at Nos. 16 and 23, Schubert: Sonatas & Impromptus by Andras Schiff, and Evolution by Alexis Ffrench respectively.
