Van Morrison - The Best Of

 

The only explanation I can think of for this being number 1 is that previously no one had ever owned a Van Morrison album and they put all his decent songs on one disc.  Voila!  A winning formula.  None of his previous albums had troubled the top 10 and none did after this.  I think people probably had enough Van Morrison by owning this one album.  But to be fair, that’s true of most greatest hits albums.
