It’s almost 60 years since Bob Dylan first appeared at No. 1 on the albums chart in the U.K.
And there is nothing rough or rowdy about his new chart topper … it’s sheer bluesy, beauty with powerful lyrics and a ravishing voice.
Rough and Rowdy Ways is Dylan’s ninth No. 1 album in the U.K., which stands as one of the most impressive sums when looking at solo acts.
They are The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, Bringing It All Back Home, John Wesley Harding, Nashville Skyline, Self Portrait, New Morning, Together Through Life, Shadows in the Night and now, yep, Rough and Rowdy Ways.
To talk the lingo of the business it’s cleared 34,000 – but the good news is that 29,000 of them are real sales.
In just over a decade, he’s appeared at No. 1 four times.
Rough and Rowdy Ways is his fortieth title to break into the uppermost region on the UK chart, which is one of the greatest career counts in history.
