Thanks, I'll check those out. I'm on the road at the moment but I'll do this over the next couple of days.

EDIT: A couple more accounts banned.

Was looking at the lowest-rated chart on BEA for the hell of it, and found what appear to be a lot of spam accounts created for manipulation:

The activity of these accounts is nearly identical.

Joe1 & Salferrigno are two extremely similar accounts. So are sofia1 and Pepe. The accounts appear to be more efforts by the pro-AC/DC spammers of before.

Both of Harry Styles's albums have suddenly taken huge leaps in the overall chart very recently: the debut has gone from #4721 to #3309 since last month, and Fine Line from #6549 to #3596. Not sure if spamming is what's responsible, but it's unusual enough to bring to your attention.
