Anne-Akiko Meyers, who broke into the US Amazon top ten last week with Bach concertos two spots behind Bob Dylan, has come out on top of the Nielsen sales charts in her first full week of release.
She’s #1 on Classical Traditional, #2 Classical Overall, #3 on Current New Artist – Heat Seekers.
In the Classical Overal chart – mostly crossover – she’s neck-and-neck at the top with croonster Andrea Bocelli.
Well done, that violinist.
