According to the Daily Telegraph, United Kingdom:

Dame Vera Lynn, “The Forces’ Sweetheart”, has become the oldest living artist in the world to have a number one album after she beat The Beatles to the top of the charts in the UK.

The 92-year-old has now usurped Bob Dylan as the oldest artist to grace the number one position after her album We’ll Meet Again – The Very Best of Vera Lynn went straight to the top of the charts – beating out Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, and of course the rerelease of The Beatles’ entire back catalog.
