Please check song #47 from 1995 list and #2 from here they are same thing

Song 47 in the 1995 list is "Mirror Ball" by Neil Young, Nothing to do with albums by Vangelis at all (that we know of)

It is unclear what you are trying to suggest

Another Double Listing - Themes Best Of

#4 & #19 are the same.

Data fixed, thanks

Double Listing - Themes Best Of

I believe #4 & #15 are the same; based on time frame and the fact that Themes was certified 2xGold in France. Stands to reason it would have made the French charts.

That looks likely, we've assumed you are correct, thanks

Vangelis

2 & 14 's the same album.

You are right, the data has been corrected, thanks for the input
