After receiving the BPI’s press release about where in the UK the British album chart toppers of 2022 come from, I thought I’d head straight to the hometown of the artist who spent the most time at the top of that chart this year – on-the-ground reporting and all that. OK, maybe I was already there. And technically I think the hometown of Harry Styles (and some non-album chart toppers too) still insists on calling itself a ‘village’. Anyway, now on my way back to London! My BPI regional chart trivia report is here.
