Il Divo knock Girls Aloud with Chart Hat-Trick
November 18th, 2008 by Peter Bevan
Last Sunday, Il Divo’s latest record, The Promise, clinched the top spot in the Official UK album charts. The European quartet knocked Girls Aloud from their perch and claimed their third consecutive chart title.
As well as releasing their album last week, the classical four-piece also announced a 2009 UK Arena tour. The group will play a series of dates between February and April next year. Tickets are available with prices from £30.
Girls Aloud also confirmed their 2009 tour last week. The reality T.V stars will be playing 21 nights throughout spring 2009. The mammoth tour begins in Belfast on 29th April and climaxes at London’s Wembley Arena on the 26th May. Tickets are available for every night with prices ranging from £30 to well over £200.
Elsewhere in the album charts, The Stereophonics claimed the second highest new-entry position at Number Two with their greatest hits release, Decade in the Sun. The Welsh rockers are due to embark on their UK Arena Tour later this month. Kelly Jones and friends kick-off their 15 night jaunt on the 28th November in Bristol. Tickets are still available from £30.
