22 November 2015, 18:55 | Updated: 19 December 2016, 16:24

André Rieu has gone straight to the top of the Classic FM Chart with his new album, Roman Holiday.

Rieu knocked Classic FM presenter and comedian Alexander Armstrong off number 1. Armstrong took no.1 last week with his debut album A Year of Songs, but falls back to no.2 this week. There are also new entries for the Monteverdi Choir's Bach Mass in B Minor and Peter and the Wolf in Hollywood, narrated by Alice Cooper.
