The Classic FM Chart - Sunday 28 August 2016, 5pm
Andre Rieu wins the Gold Medal, storming through to the No.1 spot, with Jonathan Antoine getting the Silver.
Just when you thought John Williams's original Star Wars soundtracks were about to exert a Vaderesque grip on the top of the chart, the flying Dutchman Andre Rieu shot straight to No.1 with his new collection Viva Olympia. It contains a selection of Andre's greatest hits, chosen to celebrate all the athletic antics in Rio, including You'll never walk alone, Auld lang syne, Brazil, Amazing Grace, Radetzky march - you get the idea.
Coming up behind Andre, a close second, is former Britain's Got Talent star Jonathan Antoine, voice maturing very nicely thank you, with his second solo offering Believe.
