Classic FM Chart: Vangelis soars to the top 3 with new album ‘Nocturne’
3 February 2019, 18:55
Vangelis jumps to the top of the chart with his new release 'Nocturne', behind Andrea Bocelli and André Rieu.
It's a refreshing change to the top three this week as a new release, Nocturne by Greek composer Vangelis jumps in at No. 3. He sits behind Andrea Bocelli and André Rieu, and ahead of Katherine Jenkins, duo Aled Jones & Russell Watson and Ludovico Einaudi.
Einaudi's popularity rises this week too, as his album Islands moves up to No. 6 and I Giorni re-enters at No. 26. This brings his total number of albums on the chart to six, more than any other composer or artist.
Other new chart entries are Classic FM's new relaxing release Sleep Baby Sleep and a Deutsche Grammophon recording of Maurizio Pollini playing Chopin.
