At the incredible age of 100, Dame Vera Lynn is currently the best-selling female album released in 2017.

The Forces’ Sweetheart makes an appearance with her latest album, 100, at Number 28 on the Official Charts Company’s year-to-date list. Released back in March to celebrate her 100th birthday, Lynn became the oldest living artist ever to score a Top 10 album on the Official Albums Chart, and the album has since gone on to secure BPI gold status, out-performing latest albums from the likes of Zara Larsson, Dua Lipa, Lana Del Rey and Imelda May. With anticipated new albums still to come in Q4 from the likes of Taylor Swift, P!nk, Kelly Clarkson and Paloma Faith, it’s all to play for through to 2017’s final whistle. 

Finally, several debut albums also make the Top 40, including Zara Larsson’s So Good (32), J Hus’ Common Sense (37) and Dua Lipa’s self-titled (40).
