Would never have thought U2 would be that high in the list, I always forget just how many big hits they've had

anyone can help measuring a list with top single selling artists WW?

24)=PAUL McCARTNEY/WINGS - 16 plus 25 with The Beatles takes him to no. 3 with 41 Top 5 hits.

If Take That could achieve just 1 more it would push them up the list.

 

Kylie has had 26 top five hits not 25

Jay1982 -- Thanks for pointing out that I missed one of Kylie's 26 Top 5 Singles. I've now added it in and she is in =6th place with Rihanna.

 

Charis -- A French Guy called Eric has a Worldwide Hit Singles Site. He has made a Table/Graph for each Act, and you can see all of

their Hit Singles Peak Positions, in a lot of Countries. You just 'Click-On' the Act on the right hand side, to see all of their Global Hit

Singles. In the Graphs he also tells you how many World No.1's they had, and Top 5's, Top 10's etc. He uses the Main/Official Singles

Chart for each Country. However, he's used the wrong Singles Chart for Canada. He has 'Dancing Queen' as a No.2 Hit there. In the

Main Singles Chart, it was No.1 for 2 Weeks. So ABBA should have 132 Global No.1 Singles, in their Graph - not 131...Beneath each

Act's Graph/Table he has put their Hits in more obscure Charts, such as those of: Turkey, Israel, Yugoslavia, Denmark, Poland, Greece,

Portugal, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Mexico etc.

Fascinating information. Madonna such a star :wub:

 

Really hope she can get it back with this new album, she needs to ditch the 'superficial look at me I'm provocative' theme she's been doing since Hard Candy, and do something meaningful again. Push the boundaries with music rather than by being deliberately trashy.

Eric has also used a points System, to work out the World's Top 494 Singles Acts - based on the Peaks of their

Hit Singles in each Country. Some Acts are rather low in the List, such as Queen, (No.33), Coldplay, (No.39), and

Bruce Springsteen, (No.90). This is because they were far bigger as Global Album Chart Acts. They'd be much

higher, if it were a List based on the World's Album Charts...

NOTE -- Eric's Top 494 Acts List is only based on those Acts that he's chosen to work on

- so far. There will be some Acts - that he's yet to work on - who would be on the List.

Although Eric has done a Table/Graph for U2, he has forgotten to include them in his List of the

World's Top 494 Acts. Which is 495 Acts, when U2 are included.

 

Using Eric's Points System, U2 have 8,513 points. That is enough to put them in 11th place -

pushing Elton John down to 12th place.

 

I've Emailed Eric about this and he says that he will include U2 ASAP...
