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.

Xmas In The 80s, stay right on tune.
After the past year, the peppy nostalgia is welcome – even for those fan too young to have known these tracks the first time. Roy says: “It was kind of like a ray of sunshine in a rubbish year.
“Even if the joy of it was just me playing my favourite songs and then really annoying (bandmates) Greg (Churchouse) and Pete (Rowlands)!”
Bringing ‘ray of sunshine’ to Scotland’s sunniest city
“Ray of sunshine” is right. And though they don’t believe Dundee is the sunniest city in Scotland until Google settles the debate (it is), the boys are raring to get back to Fat Sam’s during their massive headline tour this October – pandemic permitting, of course.
