The Classic FM Chart - 19 October 2014, 5pm
Hallowe'en is coming - and Classic FM's 'Scary Classics' rides on its broomstick into the Top Ten.
There's no change at the top of the Classic FM Chart this week. Britain's Got Talent finalist Lucy Kay holds on to the top spot for a second week with her debut album Fantasia.
At No.7, there's the highest new entry - Classic FM's Scary Classics collection, just in time for Hallowe'en at the end of the month. And at No. 10, a new entry for the intriguingly named The Spy's Choirbook. This sumptuous and richly illuminated choir-book is widely acknowledged as one of the finest early 16th-century musical manuscripts in the British Library. Well over half the compositions in it are anonymous and most have never been performed in modern times - until now.
