Calvin smashes Jacko chart record



Calvin Harris has smashed a chart record held by Michael Jackson , by becoming the FIRST ever artist to score EIGHT UK Top 10 hits from the same album. His current album 18 Months , has spawned the eight songs that have produced the stunning feat.
His latest collaboration with Ellie Goulding I Need Your Love , entered the Top 10 at Number 7 yesterday to break Michael Jackson's longstanding record.

The King of Pop , had previously scored an impressive seven Top 10 hits from his 1987 classic Bad. The Scottish DJ and producer begun his run of eight top 10;s back in June 2011 with Kelis assisted Bounce hitting Number 2. This was followed up by the massive transatlantic smash Feels So Close , also hitting Number 2. Then came the globe conquering We Found Love with Bajan superstar Rihanna.

Last year saw the hits keep clocking up. Let's Go with R&B king Ne-Yo and his collaboration with fellow Brit Example on We'll Be Coming Back both hit Number 2.

The subliime Sweet Nothing with Florence Welch hit Number 1 , before Tinie Tempah hook up Drinking From The Bottle hit Number 5 in January.

It's a monumental achievement for the Dumfries hitmaker. 18 Months seems to serve more now as calvin Harris Greatest Hits album.
Harris' first Top10 came in 2007 with the brilliant Acceptable In The 80's. Since then , Calvin has chalked up  4 UK Number 1's and an astonishing 13 Top 10 hits.
