Hello folks! 
Yesterday John Brunning counted down the thirty top selling albums of 2013 (CDs and downloads). The compilation 'Music For Heroes', featuring Hayley's recording of "Danny Boy" with the Central Band of the Royal Air Force was at No.20 in the chart. Other notable entries were the soundtracks to 'The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey' at No.16 and 'The Desolation of Smaug' at No.30. The compilation 'Classical Voices' was the biggest selling album in 2013.

André Rieu has continued to dominate the classical charts with seven of the top selling albums of 2013.
