  • ANALYSIS the Official UK Singles & Albums Charts Are Compiled by the Official Charts Company, Based on a Sample of More Than 15,000 Physical and Digital Outlets
    ANALYSIS The Official UK Singles & Albums Charts are compiled by the Official Charts Company, based on a sample of more than 15,000 physical and digital outlets. They count actual sales and audio streams from last Friday to Thursday, based on sales of downloads, CDs, vinyl and other physical formats and audio streams weighted using SEA2 methodology. Highway to hell: Lewis Capaldi returns to top spot with debut album Q BY ALAN JONES ethroned by Bruce Springsteen last week, and trailing Will Young for much of the latest frame, Lewis DCapaldi edged past the latter to return to No.1. The Scot’s debut, Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent, bounces 3-1 to secure its fifth week at the summit, although its sales are off 21.00% week-on-week to 19,003 (including 11,085 from sales-equivalent streams) its lowest haul yet. Denied his fifth No.1 album at the death, Will Young’s seventh studio set, Lexicon, opens at No.2 on sales of 16,706 copies. He thus remains tied with Cheryl (two solo, two with Girls Aloud), One Direction and Olly Murs as the reality TV graduates with most No.1 albums. Lexicon is No.1 on both physical sales (11,752) and paid-for downloads (4,274), being No.1 let down only by streaming. Recording Young’s lowest first week sale for a studio album yet, it is the successor to 85% Proof, which previously held that record with 21,320, but which Lewis Capaldi - Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent (Virgin EMI) nevertheless opened at No.1 in 2015, and has sold 96,356 copies.

  • The Raconteurs
    DNA concerti è orgogliosa di presentare Per la prima volta in Italia THE RACONTEURS 09/07/2008 - Ferrara @ Piazza Castello 25 euro + d.p. Arrivano per la prima volta in Italia The Raconteurs! Il supergruppo, formato da Jack White dei White Stripes, dal cantautore Brendan Benson e da Jack Lawrence e Patrick Keeler, rispettivamente bassista e batterista dei Greenhornes, che con il precedente album Broken Boy Soldiers ha scalato le classifiche di tutto il mondo sarà in Italia per presentare il nuovo capolavoro Consolers Of The Lonely. Il nuovo album contiene 14 brani, tra cui il primo singolo Salute Your Solution, è stato interamente registrato presso i Blackbird studio a Nashville, dove vivono tutti i componenti della band dal 2005, ed è uscito ovunque e in tutti i formati il 25 marzo su etichetta Third Man Records/XL Recordings. L’annuncio dell’album è stato dato soltanto una settimana prima dell’uscita! Il proposito, ha dichiarato la band, è stato quello “di far arrivare l’album ai fan, alle radio e ai giornalisti esattamente nello stesso momento, così che nessuno potesse avere priorità su nessun altro riguardo la disponibilità, la ricezione o la percezione del disco stesso. Insomma l’obiettivo era garantire un approccio alla musica il più diretto possibile, senza alcun filtro e senza nessuna guida privilegiata. 14 brani di rock puro, diretto ed entusiasmante costituiscono l’ossatura di Consolers Of The Lonely. Un album classico che non scade mai nella banalità, in cui il power-pop di Benson, l'hard blues di White e il garage-rock di Lawrence e Keeler si fondono alla perfezione in uno stile difficile da definire se non con il termine ROCK.
