October 14, 20186 yr Scissor Sisters are such a joy to see in that list, it still makes me glow that a band like that could have one of the top 40 best selling studio albums in the UK.
October 14, 20186 yr 1. Sgt Peppers (The Beatles) 2. 21 (Adele) 3. What's the story Morning glory (Oasis) 4. Dark side of the moon (Pink Floyd) 5. Thriller (Michael Jackson) 6. Bad (Michael Jackson) 7. Rumours (Fleetwood Mac) 8. Back To Black (Amy Winehouse) 9. 25 (Adele) 10. Stars (Simply Red) 11. Come on over (Shania Twain) - fave album ever! 12. Bat out of hell (Meatloaf) 13. Spirit (Leona Lewis) 14. No Angel (Dido) 15. The Fame (Lady GaGa) 16. Only by night (Kings of Leon) 17. Talk on corners (The Corrs) 18. Spice (Spice Girls) 19. Life For Rent (Dido) 20. Beautiful world (Take That) 21. X&Y (Coldplay) 22. War Of The Worlds (Jeff Wayne) 23. Jagged little pill (Alanis Morrisette) 24. Scissor Sisters (Scissor Sisters) Quite surprised I only have 24 of the top 40, thought I would own alot more. My mum is desperately trying to get me hooks on Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits lol might have to give it a listen.

October 15, 20186 yr The Fame, Only by the Night and A Rush of Blood to the Head should join the 3 million club soon
October 15, 20186 yr From memory the fame and back to black are the only albums to have a re release ?
October 15, 20186 yr As many of us know, the UK Sales of 'Sgt Pepper' are controversial, to some people. Here is why: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_..._United_Kingdom
October 15, 20186 yr Some really good albums on that list - many of which I own. If nothing else it shows how diverse a nation we are when it comes to buying albums.
October 15, 20186 yr From memory the fame and back to black are the only albums to have a re release ? In the sense that I think you mean (re-releases within a couple of years adding substantial bonus material that might justify repurchasing) not quite: X, Spirit, Crazy Love, Talk On Corners, Beautiful World and Christmas all had them too. Some made more difference than others though. Obviously a lot of the older albums on the list were re-released long after the even as classic albums (The Joshua Tree has had both 20th and 30th anniversary editions).
October 15, 20186 yr As many of us know, the UK Sales of 'Sgt Pepper' are controversial, to some people. Here is why: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_..._United_Kingdom So in reality Adele already has the biggest studio album ever here and by quite a margin :o

October 24, 20186 yr I have Peppers, WTSMG, Dark side of the moon and Tubular bells. All purchased the week of release except for Tubular bells. Which I bought about a month after release. (I'm old!). Only one I pre-ordered was Sgt Peppers. (I was 14 years old..I earned 6 shillings(30p ..about £5.30 in Todays money!) a week on my paper round and saved up for the album for 5 weeks. (albums were 30 shillings..£1.50...about £26.50 in todays money!).
