The Classic FM Chart - Sunday 15 September 2013
Three tenors dominate the Classic FM Chart this week - three cheers for Pavarotti, Calleja and Kaufmann.
This week, the late, great Luciano Pavarotti powered straight into the No. 1 spot with The 50 Greatest Tracks album, displacing Andre Rieu's Rieu Royale after only one week at the top.
Another new entry came from Joseph Calleja with his album of popular arias and songs, Amore, which entered at No. 4.
And Jonas Kaufmann features in two new entries with his Best Of album coming into the chart at 11 and the Requiem by Giuseppe Verdi at 14.
