Kate Bush sets new album chart record

Kate Bush has followed her stage comeback by becoming the first woman to have eight albums in the charts at the same time, BBC News reported.

Two of the singer's albums are in the top 10 of the new chart, and eight overall in the top 40.

It comes after she returned for her first live concerts for 35 years.

The only artists ahead of Bush are Elvis Presley, who had 12 entries in the top 40 after his death in 1977 and the Beatles who had 11 in 2009.

Bush's album The Whole Story is at number six - three places ahead of Hounds of Love.

At number 20 is 50 Words For Snow with The Kick Inside - her first album - at 24, The Sensual Word at 26, The Dreaming at 37,
Never For Ever at 38 and Lionheart at 40.

Official Charts Company chief executive, Martin Talbot, said: "Her new live shows have created a huge stir, but for them to help push her catalogue to make such a significant sales impact is further evidence of the love that the British public have for her music, from generation to generation."
