FROM FORBES - repost
With everything going on, it seems we almost missed this from Forbes.
Five albums by ELO appear on at least one chart apiece in the U.K. this week. All of them live on the Official Album Downloads list, as it appears that many longtime lovers of the group wanted to own the group’s albums and compilations, and wanted to do so quickly.
And Long Wave is back on the charts too!
Mr. Blue Sky downloads at #59 and Single sales are #63.
All Over The World: The Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra and The Essential Electric Light Orchestra also seeing gains.
