Andrea Bocelli Lands First #1 Album in the U.K. With 'Si'

Andrea Bocelli lands his first No. 1 album in the U.K. with Si (Sugar/Decca/Universal), which also becomes the first classical album to top the artist chart for nearly 21 years. 

 The Bocelli album is the first classical bestseller since James Horner spent three weeks at the summit with the Titanic soundtrack early in 1998. For the last No. 1 by a classical vocalist, you have to go back even further, to 1996, when Luciano Pavarotti, Jose Carreras and Placido Domingo led the way with The Three Tenors in Concert.

Bocelli has recorded 15 solo studio albums of both pop and classical music, three greatest hits albums, and nine complete operas, selling over 90 million records worldwide.He has had success as a crossover performer, bringing classical music to the top of international pop charts
