George Harrison's Experimental Album Is Back On The Charts
George Harrison remains one of the most celebrated musicians in history, and his legacy extends far beyond his time with The Beatles. Decades after his passing, his solo work continues to resonate with listeners, especially in his home country of the United Kingdom. While attention is usually paid to his more mainstream successes — like All Things Must Pass or Cloud Nine — this week, one of his lesser-known, but still beloved releases, is back in the spotlight.
This week, Wonderwall Music returns to the Official Soundtrack Albums chart in the U.K. The set lands in one of the lowest rungs on the 50-spot tally, as it settles at No. 49. The full-length, originally released more than five decades ago, continues to find an audience with Harrison’s fans.
Though it might not be the first record that comes to mind when discussing Harrison’s solo career, Wonderwall Music has previously enjoyed great success. The collection previously peaked at No. 1 on the same U.K.-based ranking, standing out as the top-performing soundtrack for a while.
