2020 BPI Certifications
A Beatles double whammy this week. Beatles - Love Me Do - Apple Corps - Silver - Single - 30.10.2020 - 05.10.1992 Beatles - Yellow Submarine - Apple Corps - Silver - Single - 30.10.2020 - 01.01.2000 Remember also, Beatles - Eleanor Rigby - Apple Corps - Silver - Single - 27.12.2019 - 16.11.2010 I reckon vinyl sales of Yellow Submarine/Eleanor Rigby were around 600,000 (including re-issues). So that's 600k + 200k + 200k = 1,000,000 but I doubt the OCC would combine both sides of a double A side disc.

Best selling artists worldwide
Found this article by Alan Jones in an old Record Mirror. Note: One album is equivalent to 6 singles. Record Mirror 13th March 1982 Boney M top 10? As Alan says "some of these figures are plucked out of the air". If anyone wants to update these figures from 38 years ago feel free to provide your guesstimates. (including downloads and streams) Beatles - 350 million albums X 6 = 2,100 plus 120 million singles = 2,200 million records?

Oasis - (What's The Story) Morning Glory
OCC 7/10/20 Singles Wonderwall is not only the album's top selling track, but it's the band's biggest song of all time. It's sold 1.41 million copies (physical sales and downloads) and is also (What's The Story) Morning Glory?'s most streamed track, clocking up 217 million listens on streaming services. In second spot is Oasis' other million-seller, Don't Look Back in Anger, which had the highest first-week sales of any WTSMG single โ 227,000. In total, it's shifted just over a million โ hitting the milestone in 2017 โ and has managed 157.5 million plays since 2014. Third most downloaded and streamed (What's The Story) Morning Glory? track was never actually a single! The popularity of the album's closing song, the dreamy and epic Champagne Supernova, has certainly endured โ it's logged 274,000 downloads and notched up 85.2 million streams. Another album track claims fourth most popular of the digital age: She's Electric sold 127,000 downloads and accrued 46.4m streams. Roll With It has a pure sales tally of 550,000 โ 163,000 in its first week alone โ and 29.8m plays, while the album's lead chart-topper Some Might Say outpaces it on streams (31.8m) but has a sales total of 482,000. Album Upon release on 2 October 1995, (What's The Story) Morning Glory? sold 268,554 copies in its opening week, crashing straight in at Number 1, beating Janet Jackson's Design of a Decade to the top spot. Within ten weeks it had sold a million copies, and spent 35 straight weeks in the Official Albums Chart Top 5, with ten of those weeks at Number 1. By March 1996, after five months on sale, the (What's The Story) Morning Glory? album had passed the two-million mark, and just over a year later it hit three million copies sold. And it wasn't done there: it may have taken a while longer, but in June 2010, (What's The Story) Morning Glory? clocked up four million copies sold, becoming one of the biggest albums of all time. It's the third bestselling studio album of all time, behind the Beatles' Sgt Pepper and Adele's 21. (What's The Story) Morning Glory? has a current sales tally of 4.8 million.

iTunes Weekly Thread w/c 25th September 2020
Popular Everton song Spirit Of The Blues is heading for this week's Top 40 on the Official Singles Chart following a social media campaign by supporters. The club's anthem, first released in 1985, is at Number 40 in today's sales flash (Sept. 29), vaulting 21 places from the previous day. Everton supporters have flocked to the song following last Saturday's 2-1 victory away at Crystal Palace, which marked their third consecutive victory of the Premier League season under Carlo Ancelotti. After their win, a social media movement was sparked by user FinKitch, leading fans to dub the 35-year-old song over a range of funny videos.

What are the DVD charts like at the moment?
If you mean MUSIC DVD sales I would think that sales are very low, certainly in the low hundreds each week. BPI rarely updates music DVD certificates.

Remix albums: the best, biggest and highest charting
The OCC did say, Produced by George Martin and his son Giles, Love remixed Beatles classics - including Eleanor Rigby, Strawberry Fields Forever and a mashup of Blackbird/Yesterday - for a Cirque du Soleil Vegas show of the same name. Choose whichever word you prefer. :rolleyes:
-
Remix albums: the best, biggest and highest charting
BPI gives the same release date of 26/9/94. So I would say this is the combined total sales. So 653,000 in total and not 653,00 + 300,000.
