247 weeks in the charts originally, and 13 weeks in the top ten. However it re-entered a few times, especially after TB-2 was released. This info also contradicts the claim of being number 1 for over a year. Clarification on this question is welcome! According to the Guinness book of hit albums (5th edition) – “14th Sept 74 – Hergest Ridge MO 3 weeks” “5th Oct 74 – Tubular Bells MO 1 week” Hergest Ridge was Mike’s first number 1 Album ! ! ! Just for the record – MO is one of only 3 artists to have knocked themselves off the no. 1 spot, the others being the Beatles and Bob Dylan. Credit: Matthew J.
