Status Quo Reach Chart Milestone

. (Classic Rock) Status Quo have spent a total of 500 weeks in the UK Official Albums Chart, it's been confirmed. The rock veterans released acoustic album Aquostic (Stripped Bare) in October. And, with their 31st studio outing sitting at no.34 in this week's official album chart, it means the band join a select group of just 50 artists who have racked up 500 weeks or more in the charts.

Mainman Francis Rossi tells the Official Charts Company: "To be celebrating 500 weeks in the Official Album Chart - that's almost 10 years - feels incredible. It's almost surreal that this band that we formed all those years ago could reach this point. It's a tangible achievement though, and a milestone we're very proud of.

"Aquostic (Stripped Bare) is itself our highest charting album for 18 years and has just been certified Gold, so it's not been a bad few weeks. I rarely believe in looking backwards though, we're by no means done yet - 2015 will be another interesting year for Quo." Read more here.
