None of Lulu's studio albums made the UK charts until 1993.

Since then, all of her studio albums have charted.

There's a singles chart called the "Heritage Chart" which seemingly compiles new songs by old(er) acts. And it seems Mike Read and/or Neil Fox reads them out. gasp

From next Sunday the Heritage Chart moves to Nation Radio 5-7 on a DAB platform across the whole of London & the South East of 12.5 million. & Tune-in, Radio Player, Alexa. Neil Fox & I will be heading up Nation Radio from Jan 4th me on breakfast. Neil on Drivetime. & more names pic.twitter.com/vZpKu20Gh9
