It's very good munchkin, :yahoo: I'm a bit surprised as to why CBR is deemed to be more successful than Coldplay or Will come to that. :unsure:

Thanks munchkin.

 

Great result for Will considering he hasn't released anything in over a year. :cheer:

Excellent result :yahoo:

 

Thanks Munchkin :cheer:

 

Does anyone know the full top 40?

What exactly do they mean by "Millenium" as I would have thought if they meant from 2000/01 then Will would have been higher? :huh: Whatever - it's a great result for someone who hasn't released in over a year. :dance:

It does chrysalis, that's why I queried CBR as I don't think she's sold massively worldwide at all, no matter, our man is in the top 10. :dance:

If that is so then it's quite something that he should be in the top 10. :yahoo:

great news thanks for letting us know :yahoo:

It could be overall past sales and airplay in just the UK - Will has sold 7 million singles and albums and is played all the time on commercial radio.

 

Perhaps they had a poll amongst all the commercial stations and they chose their favourite. :lol:

 

I didn't hear the rest of the programme - it may be on their website.

He just played it and mentioned Will won the best UK artist of all time yesterday and someone text in and said it was brilliant and said they were proud to be British having artists like Will, the DJ said when he first heard Will was covering outcast he was like what ??? but then said he heard it and thought what a triumph...he was really bigging it up :yahoo:

Don't think it's a success-based list, because otherwise Dido is extremely conspicuous by her absence.

Dido was playing when I tuned in - I think she was either #11 or #12.

But she wasn't in the top 10, which proves my point. Surely she's sold more albums than Corinne Bailey-Rae. And Will has sold more than Corinne as well.

 

Maybe this was another list voted for in some way? :unsure:

Maybe it's single & album sales & airplay combined. :unsure:

 

I'm sure if it were a public vote we would have heard about it.

It can't have been on votes as no one knew about it, :lol: must have been airplay and album sales, most of those in the top 10 have had good airplay

and the top 5 are played to death aren't they? Will got fantastic airplay with his releases from Friday's Child and Keep On, LRN, YG and especially WAI and ATL.

:lol: True, I guess. Yeah, this chart could be airplay based. Dido hasn't released an album since 2003, has she?

If indeed it was on airplay and album sales then all I can say is that Will's far more popular overall than a certain person would have people believe. Obviously airplay has played a part but that doesn't always equate to album sales. An artist doesn't sell the number of albums he has without being popular with the general public, no matter how much airplay.
