Michael Ball and Alfie Boe's Christmas album beats BTS to UK number one
Michael
Ball and Alfie Boe's Christmas album has denied South Korean boy band BTS the
UK number one spot.
Ball and
Boe have gone to the top of the chart with Together At Christmas.
It has
sold more than 31,000 copies on CD, which counts for much more than streaming
in the chart calculations.
BTS have
had two UK number one albums in the past two years, but their latest release,
Be, had to settle for entering this week's chart at number two.
Together
At Christmas is Ball and Boe's fourth album of duets following Together,
Together Again and Back Together.
Ball said
reaching number one was "the greatest early Christmas present we could've
wished for".
Power Up by AC/DC is in third place.
