The OCC got it wrong. 56 WE CAN WORK IT OUT/DAY TRIPPER THE BEATLES 1964 1 It should be 1965.

The web site gives a total of 214,289,694. Many certs need to be updated, especially in US. Many sales for albums between cert levels. Around 300m would be a good estimate. The 1 billion claim is based on units, where 1 album = 6 units (as used by The Guinness Book of Records, trying to compare with singles sales).

Please note that in many countries the certification includes a unit of measure equivalent to an album. 2) Music labels and artists official web sites. May include old versions of sites available via Web Archive (Wayback Machine). 3) Musical magazines*and sites and local publications. Music magazines are: Music Week, Billboard, Music & Media, Cash Box and others. Here you can find a large archive of old music magazines – World Radio History (in some countries access only through a proxy server). Local publications – news sites sites of various countries (Australian The Sydney Morning Herald, turkish Milliyet, danish BT Magazine, etc.). On these sites you can find information about certification or sales. 4) Nielsen Soundscan and charts figures. Nielsen Soundscan figures are used to more accurately determine sales levels in the US and Canada. For Korea and Japan, data published in the charts is used. 5) Spotify and VK Music. Used only to estimate the sales of Russian-language artists. 1500 streams are equivalent to 1 album. 6) Discogs and Meshok to estimate circulation in the USSR. Why might the sales figures on our website be underestimated? Our site relies mainly on certificates – this is a reliable source, but you may encounter some other problems. 1) certification has not been updated for a long time 2) album was never certified 3) certification roughly reflects real sales, but could be between levels 4) no certification in the country or appeared not so long ago. Also from here. Top 73 best selling Beatles albums worldwide and all their certifications in each country.

UK iTunes 2. Revolver (Super Deluxe) 17.

But on Amazon Vinyl Album chart 1. Revolver (Super Deluxe) 2. AM 3. TS

From the OCC. Taylor Swift starts out in front in the biggest Official Chart battle of the year so far, going up against Arctic Monkeys in the race for the UK’s Official Number 1 album. Taylor’s latest album Midnights takes the lead ahead of Arctic Monkeys and their seventh album The Car (2). A huge week is underway with both records clearing well over 100,000 copies in just three days according to Official Charts Company data. Only one other album has broken that threshold in a full week this year – Harry Styles’ Harry’s House, which managed 113,000 units in its opening week. The Official Charts Company can also confirm that Midnights is now already the UK’s fastest-selling album of 2022 so far, pulling in an astounding 140,000 chart sales and counting, with only three full days of tracking. Arctic Monkeys follow just behind with 105,000 chart units at the midweek mark. The race is far from over yet, but if Taylor maintains this early momentum, it would land the pop superstar a ninth UK Number 1 album, as well as ending the Sheffield rockers’ flawless run of six chart-topping studio albums on the bounce.

It was a mistake. Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World) - Def Jam - Platinum 3x - Single - 21.10.2022 - 10.10.2010 Tones & I - Dance Monkey - Parlophone - Platinum 6x - Single - 21.10.2022 - 12.07.2019

How come Rihanna jumped from 2P to 6P today? Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World) - Def Jam - Platinum 2x - Single - 01.01.2016 - 0.10.2010

iTunes albums UK 1 NEW Taylor Swift - Midnights 2 NEW Arctic Monkeys - The Car 3 NEW Taylor Swift - Midnights (3am Edition) 4 NEW Taylor Swift - Midnights 5 NEW Simple Minds - Direction of the Heart 6 NEW Architects - the classic symptoms of a broken spirit 7 NEW a-ha - True North 8 NEW Loyle Carner - hugo 9 NEW Carly Rae Jepsen - The Loneliest Time 10 NEW Meghan Trainor - Takin' It Back

And for the following week, Maybe The Beatles Revolver (Deluxe) re-issue. Hopefully should make the Top 3.

What about Bruno Mars -- Doo Wops & Hooligans ?

Also to be added, Bluetones - Slight Return - Mercury - Gold - Single - 30.09.2022 - 14.11.2004

Is there a similar chart for albums? Any idea what album sales are like for the top sellers? In the dozens?

Date now corrected on BPI web site.

It seems BPI got the wrong date for 9/9/22. They used instead 9/8/22 which was a Tuesday. Alerted BPI about this problem.

Putin will like this cert. Beatles - Back In The USSR - Apple Corps - Silver - Single - 23.09.2022 - 16.11.2010 Congratulations!!! Sales of 10,000,000 tracks since 2010.

Certifications are being announced today via the BRITs Twitter account. LINK Hope to get 3 weeks of updates on the BPI main site later today.

And the BPI web site needs updating for 9th and 16th September. However a poster over at HAVEN forum posted the certs for 9th September, getting them from UKChartsPlus.

Another missing BPI certificate, according to UKChartsPlus. Beatles - Blackbird - Apple Corps - Gold - Single - 14.01.2022 - 16.11.2010

Missing from 24th June. Beatles - She Loves You - Apple Corps - Silver - Single - 24.06.2022 - 16.11.2010 Vinyl sales in 2002 given as 1,890,000. So sales now 2,090,000.
