I think this is the correct program. Thursday 10pm MTV HITS (channel 351 SKY) for 2 hours. British Acts of the Century: Official Top 20. Becca Dudely counts down the 20 British acts that have sold more than any other since 2000. Featuring Oasis, Adele, Fleetwood Mac and many more.

Amazing! 'Mr. Brightside', the 2003 single from @thekillers is now an incredible #BRITcertified 6x Platinum!

On this Saturday at 4pm for 5 hours on MTV Hits (Sky Channel 351) there is a rundown called Ultimate 50 British Hits of the Century. It is repeated next Monday and Wednesday. So program your Betamax recorder in time.

So The Beatles have sold 15.97m tracks since November 16th 2010, and streams since December 24th 2015. Other acts had the full 21 years of sales. Not bad in comparison!

You can buy the stamps here. https://shop.royalmail.com/special-stamp-is.../paul-mccartney Many different bundles, some limited edition.

Sir Paul McCartney honoured by Royal Mail stamps Royal Mail has unveiled a set of 12 special stamps honouring Sir Paul McCartney. The collection features eight album covers which have defined his career, along with photos of Sir Paul in the recording studio. The ex-Beatle has written or co-written 188 charted records in the UK and has been awarded more than 60 gold discs. Royal Mail said the stamps were "a fitting tribute to one of the UK's much loved and revered musical icons". The main set of stamps feature a selection of eight LPs, from his first solo album in 1970, McCartney, through to his most recent number one album, McCartney III, which was recorded and released during lockdown in 2020. A miniature sheet of four stamps will also be available, featuring photographs of him in the recording studio, spanning three decades. Sir Paul was involved in selecting the images which have been used in the collection. He is one of only three individual music artists to be featured in a dedicated stamp issue. David Bowie was honoured in 2017 and Sir Elton John stamps were issued in 2019. The Sir Paul McCartney stamps go on sale later this month.

Highlighted in News programs. The BBC says, The Bay City Rollers became tartan-clad sensations in the UK and US in the 1970s. They were hugely successful, selling more than 120 million records. whereas ITV says, They sold 100 million records. Both are probably wrong.

1182 NEW Bay City Rollers - Bye Bye Baby BREAKING NEWS: Bay City Rollers singer Les McKeown has died suddenly at the age of 65.

I didn't realise pure sales count for so little these days. So Abba 'Gold' With 53 downloads was no. 92 on the OCC Download Album chart and Beatles '1' was just outside the Top 100 Download chart with 47 downloads. So some of the albums between 92 and 100 must have had the same number of downloads. How did they separate these positions? Only 6 or 7 downloads per day for these 2 albums! So iTunes counts for little these days compared with 15 years ago. Further, being in the top 100 on the iTunes Download chart counts for very few downloads (and there are other download sites), never mind being in the Top 1,500 iTunes downloads as reported by KWORB. There are 391 NEW entries in the Top 1500 just now - probably many albums with a single download each. How are they separated?

Thanks very much. That's brilliant (and a Beatles bonus). Very high streaming figures.

And it continues... It's those Greatest Hits albums again. 8 Fleetwood Mac - 50 Years: Don't Stop 13 Elton John - Diamonds 21 Abba - Gold: Greatest Hits 24 Michael Jackson - Number Ones 26 Bob Marley & The Wailers - Legend 31 The Beatles - 1 ^ 34 Whitney Houston - The Ultimate Collection ^ 36 Maroon 5 - Singles ^ 37 George Michael - Twenty Five ^ 39 Bee Gees - Timeless: The All-Time Greatest Hits ^ And there are many more in the Top 100 albums update chart. A result of streaming no doubt.

And how come you have a latest site news box all for yourself? Very nice. You must be a moderator or someone very important.

Could you do a similar analysis for Abba Gold and Beatles 1? Thanks.

Thanks. I never thought your comments would be under Little Nas. I was looking for Suedehead2.

I can't find either latest news box or the front page. Can you give a link?
