The Queen of Pop’s classic third studio album, which debuted at Number One in the UK when it was originally released in 1986, lands at Number 21 today (October 26) thanks to download service Google Play offering the entire 10-track record for just 99p.
True Blue – home to the hits Papa Don’t Preach, Open Your Heart, Live to Tell, La Isla Bonita and True Blue – is estimated to have sold over 25m copies worldwide over the years, and is certified seven times platinum in the UK.
Elsewhere on the UK’s Official Albums Chart, former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger scores her second Top 20 solo album this week as Big Fat Lie debuts at Number 17, OfficialCharts.com reports.
Aretha Franklin Sings the Diva Classics, which finds the legendary singer covering hits from some of the world’s biggest female performers, debuts at Number 32 this week, while Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett’s Cheek to Cheek bounces back to Number 12 following the pair’s Strictly Come Dancing performance.
Over on the UK’s Official Singles Chart, Meghan Trainor notches up a fourth week at Number One with All About That Bass, which ties the US pop singer’s debut single with Clean Bandit’s Rather Be as the joint longest-running chart-topper this year.
Meanwhile, Jessie J, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande’s former Number One Bang Bang rebounds to Number Four, and Sam Smith’s I’m Not the Only One returns to the Top Ten after climbing two spots to Number Ten.
