Some notable album updates today. Grease Soundtrack - 9x platinum Immaculate Collection - Madonna - 13x platinum Legend - Bob Marley - 14x platinum

Fascinating facts. But who will be the top seller in 5 years time? I would put my money on Ed.

The latest BPI certs were early this week - at 4:43pm.

Hopefully not - that's artifical. It would not change all-time "sales".

If the enhanced sales are included with Greatest Hits then Platinum Collection would have 560,000 less sales. These sales can't be counted twice. And fewer BPI certs. Its one or the other but not both. No double counting.

Zeus555, do you have an up to date sales figure for Beatles Sgt. Pepper?

It appears the description was wrong. It was total Artist songs and not “the best-selling platinum hits.” Sorry for any confusion.

The remains positions. No Elvis or Abba. 50 Justin Timberlake - 11.6m 49 Michael Bible - 11.6m 48 James Arthur - 11.7m 47 Black Eyed Peas - 11.7m 46 Nicki Minaj - 12.0m 45 The Killers - 12.0m 44 Sia - 12.3m 43 Ellie Goulding - 12.6m 42 Elton John - 12.6m 41 Shawn Mendes - 14.0m 40 Dave - 14.2m 39 Avicii - 14.5m 38 Fleetwood Mac - 14.5m 37 Clean Bandit - 14.8m 36 Imagine Dragons - 14.9m 35 Michael Jackson - 14.9m 34 Stormzy - 14.9m 33 The Beatles - 15.1m 32 Lewis Capaldi - 15.8m 31 George Ezra 16.3m 30 Jason Derulo - 16.4m 29 Billie Eilish - 17.5m 28 Chris Brown - 17.5m 27 Bruno Mars - 18.0m 26 Maroon 5 - 18.1m 25 Dua Lipa - 18.8m 24 One Direction - 18.8m 23 Lady Gaga - 19.2m 22 Pink - 19.2m 21 Katy Perry - 19.3m 20 Queen - 19.4m 19 Sam Smith - 20.1m 18 Oasis - 20.6m 17 David Guetta - 22.0m 16 Arctic Monkeys - 23.6m 15 Calvin Harris - 24.5m 14 Little Mix - 25.0m 13 Post Malone - 25.5m 12 The Weeknd - 25.8m 11 Kanye West - 26.3m

Here’s the Top 10 Artists. 10 Beyoncé - 26.3m combined sales since 2000 9 Adele - 26.8m 8 Coldplay - 27.6m 7 Justin Bieber - 29.4m 6 Ariana Grande - 30.1m 5 Taylor Swift - 31.4 m 4 Rihanna - 35.4m 3 Eminem - 42.0m 2 Drake - 55.7m ​​​​​​​1 Ed Sheehan - 68.9m

MTV Hits not on Freeview but is on Virgin Media at channel 312. There are 2 programs - one for best-selling singles and the other for Artist totals.

But it is the order of tracks which is important, and the actual combined sales figures. Also on MTV Hits, Friday 3rd June at 9pm for 5 hours, Best-selling (singles) Artists of the Century Official Top 50. We use exclusive official sales and streaming figures to bring you the definitive countdown of the best-selling artists of the century so far. (Repeated several times next week). It would be no secret to divulge that Ed Sheeran is number one with combined sales of 68,900,000.

Most of these 69 singles should feature. They are the multi-platinum awards from BPI web site based on their digital release date. But some could be excluded because they were released before 2000 (like Mariah Carey).

BPI say Harry's House album is GOLD. So over 100,000 sales.

Wonder if they will produce an up to date list of pure million sellers? And another list which includes streams. Wonder what the brand new charts will be about? Any guesses?

The Official Charts are preparing a range of activities to celebrate 70 years of the UK’s Official Singles Chart this year, this week unveiling the anniversary campaign branding and the first event of the commemorations. November 14th this year will mark 70 years since the first singles chart was published by the New Musical Express’s Percy Dickins in 1952, topped by Al Martino’s Here In My Heart – but the birthday celebrations will begin next month, kicking off in style on Jubilee weekend with a fun-filled partnership with Mighty Hoopla Festival. Beyond the June Bank Holiday starting horn, a range of other anniversary are set to be unveiled over the coming weeks and months, including music releases, print publications, radio and TV broadcasts, brand new charts, celebratory events and more. Another key moment will be the crowning, over the summer, of the 1400th Number 1 single of all time. See more here. 70 years of iconic Number 2s: Every song to peak at Number 2 in the UK. Sometimes it's just as impressive to nearly get a Number 1 in the UK, as the tracks that only ever peaked at Number 2 on the Official Singles Chart prove. Getting a Number 1 on the UK's Official Charts is, for many acts both at home and around the globe, a massive achievement - and as the Official Charts Company begins to celebrate our 70th anniversary year in 2022, we're also taking a look back at the biggest tracks that just missed out on the top spot. Using our data, we've collected below every single song to peak at Number 2 on the Official Singles Chart - from the first (Guy Mitchell's Feet Up in 1952 if you wondered) all the way to Sam Ryder's recent Eurovision mega-hit SPACE MAN in 2022. The full list can be found here.

I reckon 4.30pm today.

And also, Michael Jackson - Number Ones- album - 10 times platinum or 3m.

BPI web site now updated to show certs for 6/5/22.

Just copy and paste (with a minus sign between columns, using Excel). UKMix forum allows you to insert tables. BTW I emailed BPI to post the missing week.

Must be a shortage of staff. This has happened before. I emailed BPI and they then updated their web site. I have also been successful in correcting some of their mistakes. At other times they ignore my emails. Hopefully we will get 2 sets of updates today. HAVEN forum published the latest certs a few days ago. They got them from UKChartsPlus. https://fatherandy2.proboards.com/thread/10...ications?page=4

21 April 2022 Official Charts Company approves first-ever NFT for UK charts inclusion The upcoming new album from The Amazons will be the first ever release containing NFT content to be eligible for the UK's Official Chart. By George Griffiths Today the Official Charts Company has approved the first-ever inclusion of an NFT product towards sales on the UK's Official Albums Chart. British band The Amazons will launch their new album with a 'Digital Boxset Edition' of the vinyl record, which includes extra content delivered digitally as an NFT. This is the very first time that an NFT can contribute towards the UK charts, an exciting development in the ever expanding digital universe of music. Martin Talbot, CEO of the Official Charts Company, said of the historic first: "We are delighted to approve this first ever NFT for Official Albums Chart inclusion, it is an incredibly exciting moment for the chart and the UK music scene. "As far as we are aware, this is the first release to include an NFT component to achieve chart approval anywhere in the world – so congratulations to The Amazons for this fantastic first. "The UK’s Official Charts have always strived to evolve as music fans change how they buy and consume their favourite music, and this is another example of how we have always sought to reflect the pioneering spirit of the music industry and, in particular, the UK scene.” An NFT (non-fungible token) is an entirely digital asset that represents real-world objects such as music or art. NFTs can be bought and sold online via cryptocurrency - it is a non-interchangeable unit of data stored in a blockchain. The NFT offering included with the sale of the new Amazons record will include one animated unreleased photograph taken from a key moment of the band’s past. Each purchaser will receive the same image for the first drop, another for the second and another for the third. This animated photograph will serve as a fan pass to further, exclusive content and will initially be non-tradeable. The Amazons will oversee three drop periods over the coming months, leading up to the album's release on September 2nd. The Reading band have enjoyed two UK Top 10 albums to date with The Amazons and Future Dust. Can anyone out there can explain this in simple words?

No. 7 on iTunes songs, 7 Beton - Kyiv Calling based on the Clash song London Calling, with new words appropriate for Ukraine.

A day in the life. Why not? Great track. Liam.k., you left this one out. 04 March 2022 Beatles - Get Back - Apple Corps - Silver - Single - 04.03.2022 - 16.11.2010 Do you have an estimate for its total sales?
