Dame Vera Lynn breaks her own chart record 🎶
Dame Vera Lynn has become the oldest singer to score a UK top 40 album, beating her own record.
The 103-year-old star's greatest hits collection, titled 100, re-entered the chart at number 30 on Friday. Dame Vera became the first centenarian to chart when it was first released in 2017, reaching number three. The upsurge in popularity for the album coincided with the 75th anniversary of VE Day, which marked the end of World War Two in Europe.
The BBC's anniversary programme ended with key workers and singers like Katherine Jenkins and Beverley Knight accompanying a recording of Dame Vera performing We'll Meet Again.
