I won't put my money on Keith Richards reaching the age of 92 plus charting.

Vera Lynn sets another record the oldest living artist to have a top 3 album on the UK album chart , her best of storms from # 20 to # 2 just held off the top spot by the Artic Monkeys .
Thats a wild contrast in music ? ;D
Think this album as done so well as the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II as just past and Vera was the popular singer then the forces sweetheart as she's known in Britain .
Just shows though she still as a fanbase .

start

Correct it's start and not end i must be going senile  ;D
Her UK chart career now runs from 1952 to 2009 thats a 57 year span , think that might be a record too.
Her other record is she was the first British women to have an American # 1 single with Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart in (1952)

In the week The Beatles have 4 albums in the UK top 10 , Vera Lynn topples The Arctic Monkeys to go to # 1 on the UK album chart making her the oldest living person at 92 years old to reach the number ONE spot , thats some record ?
Very strange chart this week  ???

Vera Lynn becomes the oldest living artist to have a # 1 album on any chart in the world at 92 years old .
Tina Turner held the record at age 54 when her soundtrack Whats Love Got To Do With It topped the UK chart in 1993 , Bob Dylan holds the record for a male artist at 68 year old .

I think Keith still holds this record. Considering drug usage aging and vampire blood exchanging, he was actually 93 back in 1978 when Some Girls came out.
