Michael - UK Chart Runs - Albums

HOME PAGE

Here are the chart runs for all Michael's hit albums in the UK. Positions outside the standard length chart (as used by the BBC and the Guinness books) are included. Re-entries and reissues are listed with the original hit.

Many thanks to Hanboo for helping us to fill the gaps in our information by posting chart runs on ukmix.

KEY:
HP(?) = peak position (with number of weeks at no.1, if applicable).
Wks = total weeks on the standard length chart/full length chart.
x = dropped out of the chart for one week.
