POP / The charts

Blame Classic FM for this: the happening sound of the week is the Monks' Chorus from Silos in Spain, ripping through a belting set of top Gregorian Chants on an album now 20 years old. It slips into the Top 10 and could go higher - 'the perfect antidote to the stresses of modern life' according to EMI.
