While Nelly Furtado's Say It Right single also re-entered at number 26.

Meanwhile, in the album chart, the Chemical Brothers went straight in at the top of the albums chart with their brand new dance album, We Are the Night. Crowded House, entered the chart at number three with their new album, Time on Earth. Velvet Revolver also had a new entry with their album, Libertad, at number six.

Some artists who played at Concert For Diana enjoyed the benefits, as their albums went back into the album chart.
