Back in Power


Dame Vera Lynn tops album chart

Forces sweetheart Dame Vera Lynn has become the oldest living artist to top the UK album chart.

The 92-year-old, said she was "surprised" at going to number one, knocked last week's chart-toppers Arctic Monkeys into fourth place.

She achieved her success with her album, We'll Meet Again - The Very Best of Vera Lynn, which has been steadily climbing the chart in recent weeks.

Pixie Lott is top of this week's singles charts with Boys and Girls.

Her single has climbed a massive 72 places since last week.

Dame Vera, who kept up the spirits of millions of soldiers during World War II, first re-entered the charts at the end of August.

The veteran singer said she would "never have dreamt" that the album would have charted again - let alone go to number one.
