Classic FM Chart: New entry Alexis Ffrench shoots to No.1
9 September 2018, 18:55
New Alexis Ffrench album 'Evolution' steals the top spot, but the Avengers Infinity War soundtrack is also climbing fast.
Three new entries claim places in the top 10 this week - Alexis Ffrench's new album Evolution, Requiem for my Mother by Rebecca Dale at no.6, and a recording of Janáček's Glagolitic Mass by the Czech Philharmonic and Jiří Bělohlávek at no.8.
The Avengers Infinity War soundtrack has made a significant rise in this week's chart, jumping from no.19 last week to no.5. The top three albums from last week remain strong and in the top 4 spots, while Yo-Yo Ma's album has slipped from last week's no.4 to no.16 this week.
Karl Jenkins has a successful week with a re-entry of The Armed Man - A Mass for Peace at no.21 and his Best Of album remains in the top 30. However, it is Einaudi that reigns over the chart with five entries in the top 30.
