(3) Double Listings... Plus
#9 & #26 are the same (For the Boys). Also #13 & #17 (Bette Midler Sings the Peggy Lee Songbook). Also #20 & #21 should be combined (Jackpot!: The Best Bette). Finally #1 (Beaches) made the Billboard Charts - #2 - 176 weeks. It's probably listed under 'Original Soundtrack'.
All entries fixed, thanks
