October 18, 201014 yr Author Robbie Williams scores his ninth solo number one album Music Week 10:00 | Monday October 18, 2010 By Alan Jones With Robbie Williams’ second hits compilation blasting its way to the top, leadership of the album chart changes hands for the 11th week in a row, but Cee-Lo Green’s Forget You remains atop the singles chart, where it is only the second title out of the last 14 number ones to extend its reign beyond a week. Already the biggest selling albums artist of the 21st century – with sales of 13,339,555 up to last week, 24.19% more than runners-up Westlife’s 10,741,065 – Robbie Williams moves even further ahead, after landing his ninth number one solo album with In And Out Of Consciousness: Greatest Hits 1990-2010 making an emphatic debut at the top, on first week sales of 121,688 copies. Williams’ first number one since Rudebox (2006), it outsold its nearest challenger by a margin in excess of three to one. The only male soloist to have more number ones than Williams is Elvis Presley (10). Securing the second highest weekly sale for an artist album thus far in 2010 - falling short of the mark of 139,438 set by Eminem’s Recovery 16 weeks ago - In And Out Of Consciousness has made a modest start compared to Williams’ previous compilation, Greatest Hits, and also many of his regular album releases. Williams’ previous albums, in reverse chronological order, with first week sales and years shown in brackets, are as follows: Reality Killed The Video Star (238,126, 2009), Rudebox (147,236, 2006), Intensive Care (373,832, 2005), Greatest Hits (320,081, 2004), Live At Knebworth (117,863, 2003), Escapology (264,104, 2002), Swing When You’re Winning (295,024, 2001), Sing When You’re Winning (313,585, 2000), I’ve Been Expecting You (131,836, 1998), Life Thru A Lens (14,533, 1997). Williams has sold 17,285,422 albums since launching his solo career in 1997. Thanks to Mikey

What are the total UK album sales figures for each of the above acts? :D VERY difficult question. There have been lists compiled a few years back but they are out of date - based on over the counter sales (as oppose to official record company sales/shipments) I'd estimate VERY roughly the following from the above list: 1. The Beatles: 31M 2. Queen: 21.5M 3. Madonna: 19M 4. Elvis: 18.5M 5. Michael Jackson: 18.5 6. U2.: 18.2M 7. Robbie Williams: 17.2M 8. ABBA: 16.5M 9. Oasis: 14.5M 10. Rolling Stones: 13M 11. David Bowie: 12.5M 12. REM: 11M 13. Led Zep: 9.5M 14 Bruce: 8M
