The iconic Swedish pop quartet return after a 38 year sabbatical with their first album in 40 years to spend a 8th week on top the Haven Combi Chart with their 9th studio album, but with its lead at its shortest to date.
There are 2 new entries this week from Nas; Little Mix
There are 2 re-entries this week from Yola; The War On Drugs
New chart peaks come from Little Simz
New Releases on Friday 31st December came from .... tumbleweed .... time to spend those Xmas vouchers in January sales.
Note: For albums tied on points, if one album has been charted by more posters than another, then that album with the most posters will be given the higher position. And spelling pedants please be aware I've got fed up with the increased upper and lower case letters with album titles and artist monikers where they should not be, so I've reverted back to standard English grammar.Haven Album Combi Chart Top 30
