Glastonbury Effect pushes Beyonce to UK number 1

The post Glastonbury 'effect' on the UK charts has pushed Coldplay's last single back into the top 40 singles charts with Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall moving from 42 to 7. The event also propelled Beyonce's new ablum '4' to number one in the UK's official album charts. Other big chart winners from the televised super-fest included Elbow, Janelle Monae and Mumford & Sons. 18 million watched the live transmisisons and Beyonce's live single from Glastonbury 'Irreplacable' charted midweek at 26 and Coldplay's live In My Place charted at 31 - all proceeds go to the Glastonbury Festival main charities, WaterAid, Greenpeace and Oxfam along proceeds from U2's I Will Follow Live at Glastonbury.
