The Classic FM Chart - Sunday 6 March 2016, 5pm
Alexander Armstrong is deposed after 15 weeks at No.1 by Richard & Adam.
Singing brothers Richard & Adam broke the record for number of weeks holding the No.1 position in the 2013 Album Charts with their debut album The Impossible Dream. This week, their new album Believe has shot straight into the top spot, ousting Alexander Armstrong who's been No.1 since before Christmas. Richard & Adam's album features a personal selection of songs and arias made famous by the great classical singers, as well as immortal Welsh melodies.

The second highest new entry comes in at No.6 from Classic FM's Artist of the Week Steven Isserlis who is tackling the Elgar and Walton Cello Concertos with considerable passion and panache. One place behind Vilde Frang enters the chart with her spirited recording of the Korngold and Britten Violin Concertos.
