Kate Bush has become the first woman to have eight albums in the UK Albums Chart at the same time.

The 56-year-old singer took to the stage for the first time in 35 years last week as she performed the first of 22 "spellbinding" shows at London's Hammersmith Apollo.

Her return has now seen her become the first woman in history to have that many albums in the chart at once.

The album's 'The Whole Story' is at No.6 while 'Hounds of Love' is at No.9 with a further six albums featuring in the top 40.

She is beaten only by male artist Elvis Presley - who had 12 albums in the top 40 after his death in 1977.
