Some great consistency for the bunch of greatest hits releases there from Witney (for obv reasons) Foo Fighters and Oasis!

60. BACK TO BLACK- Amy Winehouse (55-60-78-80-74-60) 755,900 (T/S 3,787,900)
59. LADY KILLER- Cee-Lo Green (23-28-37-45-54-59) 765,600
58. A PERFECT CONTRADICTION- Paloma Faith (82-56-58) 766,200
57. CEREMONIALS- Florence + The Machine (54-38-44-54-55-57) 768,600
56. MY WORLD- Justin Bieber (12-22-29-40-47-52-56) 784,100


Another strong year for Any Winehouse with “Back To Black” becoming a regular in the top 100 and shifting over 100,000 copies last year, one of just 15 albums here to do it, meanwhile “A Perfect Contradiction” becomes Paloma Faith’s biggest seller finally. The first of two albums by both Florence + The Machine and Justin Bieber appear, for the former it shows the diminishing return the outfit is having from the album market, but for Bieber he’s finally bettered his debut album- but by how much?

55. TO BE LOVED- Michael Buble (50-48-51-55) 794,400
54. SCIENCE AND FAITH- The Script (19-27-30-39-44-50-54) 799,500
53. NEVER BEEN BETTER- Olly Murs (53-53) 816,800
52. NOEL GALLAGHER’S HIGH FLYING BIRDS- Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds (27-32-38-46-48-52) 826,500
51. OLLY MURS- Olly Murs (20-24-27-32-40-46-51) 829,300


Two big names of the decade enter our rundown in this section, Michael Buble who has another 2 albums to come, and Olly Murs who has three (one of only 2 acts to have 4 albums in total here). Murs current album could well become his lowest seller overall but the late appearance of his 2014 set “Never Been Better” warns against predicting that too soon. Noel Gallagher however proved more popular than his old band for now at any rate!

50. LIGHTS- Ellie Goulding (24-25-35-41-42-47-50) 830,300
49. DISC-OVERY- Tinie Tempah (29-21-26-33-39-45-49) 836,700
48. LIONESS: HIDDEN TREASURES- Amy Winehouse (31-25-31-37-43-48) 857,600
47. NOTHING BUT THE BEAT- David Guetta (90-46-36-41-44-47) 859,000
46. BAD BLOOD- Bastille (79-49-49-46) 863,000


A rather stagnant selection here with only Bastille improving year on year helped no doubt by the release of “Wild World” last year. Ellie Goulding won’t be listing here with “Delirium” but debut set “Lights” has been surpassed by her later album, meanwhile Tinie Tempah and David Guetta seem to have lost some commercial clout since their peak.

45. THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE- P!nk (63-34-36-42-45) 873,400
44. ELEMENT OF FREEDOM- Alicia Keys (7-17-24-28-33-41-44) 881,200 (T/S 1,019,700)
43. MIDNIGHT MEMORIES- One Direction (45-34-38-43) 896,700
42. 18 MONTHS- Calvin Harris (89-42-38-40-42) 908,600
41. COME AROUND SUNDOWN- Kings Of Leon (11-15-21-25-30-35-41) 920,700


Moving over the 900,000 mark now which One Direction’s second album on the list is poised to cross at some point in 2017. Already there are Calvin Harris and Kings Of Leon though of course for KOL it sold over 2 million less than “Only By The Night”.

Glad to see the jump for the Oasis greatest hits *.* The Supersonic movie coming out last year helping there.

40. GREATEST HITS...SO FAR- P!nk (32-35-34-35-35-36-40) 930,800
39. I CRY WHEN I LAUGH- Jess Glynne (86-39) 947,700
38. RECOVERY- Eminem (9-16-22-26-32-34-38) 961,500
37. AM- Arctic Monkeys (73-43-39-37) 964,100
36. UNORTHODOX JUKEBOX- Bruno Mars (30-29-32-36) 994,200


Second albums on the list by Pink and Eminem denote their biggest sellers of the decade, but it’s Jess Glynne’s moment of glory as her rise of 47 places is the biggest climb on the entire list! Being home to 5 chart toppers in its deluxe version clearly helped. Meanwhile Arctic Monkeys continue to sell well and Bruno Mars should have his second million selling album during 2017.

35. BORN THIS WAY- Lady Gaga (18-18-22-25-28-35) 1,009,700
34. TAKE ME HOME- One Direction (42-24-28-30-34) 1,018,100
33. A HEAD FULL OF DREAMS- Coldplay (NEW) 1,019,600
32. SUNNY SIDE UP- Paolo Nutini (6-14-20-23-24-27-32) 1,033,000 (T/S 1,843,500)
31. TALK THAT TALK- Rihanna (26-17-20-23-26-31) 1,039,300


So 35 albums are over the million mark so far this decade, creeping over are One Direction and Lady Gaga, but Coldplay’s “A Head Full Of Dreams” is our highest new album. It returns them to the million sellers club after the “disappointment” of “Ghost Stories” and made No 1 in early 2016 after it looked like becoming their first studio set to fail to make the top when it debuted at No 2 behind Adele in December 2015. Second of three albums on the list by Rihanna but it’s fading.

Yes, thanks Gezza. I'm far more interested in album sales over the years than singles sales.

Pink, Jess Glynne, Arctic Monkeys and Bruno Mars all in one update, I own all of those. Hopefully they'll all push pass a million eventually.

Just shows how beneficial to an artist it is to have greatest hits collections still. Fantastic sellers over the years.

It's been in the top 200 since then so I've had a chance to adjust the figure appropriately.

Too slow to get the refunded 600 copies joke in there

The greatest hits thing I think pink is most recent released to sell consistent most haven't faired so well

It is cool though that if the artist is big enough they can consistently sell trickles

Only just the most recent. Bon Jovi released one two weeks earlier and they're still to come on the list.
