Abba GOLD now over the 6 million mark. I assume this is sales from April 1994 - the OCC era? Plus unknown sales from September 1992. BPI gives 22x Platinum on 16/1/25, which is 6,600,000.

Barrett Strong - Money (That's What I Want) - Silver He is outselling The Beatles cover version, from With The Beatles.

Yes - from HAVEN forum. Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger (4x Platinum) 888,628 pre-February 1994 units + 2,400,000 post February 1994 units = 3,288,628 total chart units!

A full list now up on the BPI site. Another platinum single for Elvis. Elvis Presley - If I Can Dream - Rca - Platinum - Single - 18.04.2025 - 15.11.2004

I use the Official Charts website with Edge browser on a DELL desktop computer (Intel i9) and have no problems. It never crashes my PC when I go to different tabs. Never had any problems in the past. I use Virgin Media broadband at 350Mbps speed.

49 58 Alex Warren - You'll Be Alright Kid (Chapter 1) - 42,000 So why is this album not at no. 26?

Thanks for this Top 99 chart. Great info there. The Beatles Red and Blue albums were always fairly close together in physical sales. But now there is an almost 200,000 gap due to streaming equivalent sales. Likewise it is sad to see the demise of 1 due to the way weekly streams are applied.

ABBA - Gold: Greatest Hits - 57,000 Queen - Greatest Hits - 41,000 Any chance of Abba overtaking Queen to have the top selling album of all-time in the UK?

Beatles - Yellow Submarine - Apple Corps - Gold - Single - 14.03.2025 - 16.11.2010 Beatles - Love Me Do - Apple Corps - Gold - Single - 14.03.2025 - 16.11.2010 Both these tracks were certified Silver on 30/10/2020. Now both GOLD. What a co-incidence! What is the statistical probability of that occurring?

The complete article. Music Week supplement 19/09/2009

A reminder. Here is what Alan Jones said in Music Week in September 2009, (His first 6 words refer to 'Sgt Pepper', by The Beatles). "As vast as that tally is, there is one album which has sold more copies – Queen’s Greatest Hits. It is an album which was first released in 1981, cherry-picking their most successful singles, from their introductory 1974 smash Seven Seas Of Rhye to 1980’s Flash. Released on October 26 1981, it debuted at number two behind Shakin’ Stevens’ Shaky album, and started a four-week run at number one the following week. It sold enough copies in the final few weeks of 1981 to finish second to Adam & The Ants’ Kings Of The Wild Frontier in the annual rankings, and has continued to sell at an impressive rate ever since. In 1994, it was issued in a slipcase with Greatest Hits II and in 2000 with Greatest Hits II and Greatest Hits III. As these packages contain the original albums, the decision was made, right or wrong, to share out the sales pro rata. As Greatest Hits I, II and III together have sold 1,680,000, individual tallies for all three have been allocated an extra 560,000 sales. By the same token, Greatest Hits I and II’s combined sales of 132,000 have been split, with an extra 66,000 being added to each. Taking all this into consideration, Greatest Hits has sold a massive 5,780,000 copies. Greatest Hits II, eighth on the list, has sold 3,840,000 copies".

Same for Queen - Greatest Hits.

ABBA - Gold: Greatest Hits - 36,000 - 6,910,000 Fantastic sales figure! I assume it is all-time sales rather than just post-1994 sales?

Love the new table layout. Perhaps a heading for those who don't know what the figures stand for.
