Fans put Dame Vera Lynn back at No 1
DAME Vera Lynn has made music history by becoming the oldest living artist to top the album charts.
The 92-year-old Forces’ Sweetheart’s fans have put Vera at Number One by flocking to buy We’ll Meet Again – The Very Best Of Vera Lynn, placing her higher than 20-something rock band The Arctic Monkeys.
She even beat The Beatles, currently enjoying a charts revival.
Last night she said she was delighted. “I am extremely surprised and I want to say a big thank you to all my fans,” she said.
She recorded the original We’ll Meet Again 70 years ago when she was 22.
