A Bristol singer and her Bristol band are looking at a top 40 entry into the UK Album Charts this week. Elles Bailey jokes that she probably won't come close to Tears for Fears when the full album chart is announced on Friday.
The Bristol singer, who was actually only a village away from the hometown of the 80s duo when she spoke to Bristol Live this morning (March 1, 2022) has had quite the 18 months and said her "fingers were crossed" in the hopes that her new album - which she self-released despite getting an offer of a record deal - will indeed make it.
She's hoping that the people of Bristol can help push her new album 'Shining In The Half Light' into the top 20 or even the top 10. In the mid-week album chart, announced last night, she discovered that her latest release was at number 11 - just a place or two behind Adele.
