The Very Best of Cilla Black is a career-spanning compilation album by English singer Cilla Black, released in October 2013 by Parlophone / Warner Music Group UK to mark her golden anniversary in show business.[1] The album reached No. 37[2] in 2013 on the UK Albums Chart, which was Black's first Top 40 hit in thirty years. In September 2014, after the transmission of ITV biopic Cilla starring Sheridan Smith the album re-entered the UK Albums Chart and peaked at No. 26. The album was to make its ultimate peak at No. 1 after Black's death in August 2015, becoming her first number-one album.[3] It also reached No. 1 in New Zealand on 21 August 2015 and stayed there for five consecutive weeks, making it the first album to achieve this since Sol3 Mio's eponymous album in March 2014.[4]
