Tom Jones Heads For His First UK No 1 in Two Decades
Sir Tom Jones is on course for his first UK Number 1 album in two decades with Surrounded By Time.
Tom’s 41st studio album leads today’s Official Chart Update (April 26), racking up the most CD and download sales over the past weekend.
Surrounded By Time is on track to become Sir Tom’s fourth UK Number 1 album, and first chart-topper in over two decades, since Reload hit the top in October 1999. That album went on to claim two further weeks at Number 1 in 2000.
John Lennon occupies the runner-up slot at the halfway stage of the chart week with the 50th anniversary edition of first solo album Plastic Ono Band. Originally topping out at Number 8 in 1971, the collection is heading for a new peak of Number 2.
