In this week's Classicalite Chart Report, Bocelli beats back Brightman on Billboard.
The BBC, however, did not run their usual Saturday update, so go ahead and give both those Pappano discs a spin. Something tells us dual Sir Anthonys won't last until May 11.
Closer to home, Classicalite gives many listens to John Cage, Jozef van Wissem, one final week of that E.L. James mixtape from EMI, Eno's No New York and a Kaija Saariaho sampler.
