I was just about to update my figure to a higher one!

Shape of you was at 6,637,792 on 4/7/25. So a gap of around 40K.

Look out Ed the Killers are coming for you! Who will reach 12P first?

Sorry Bjork, I missed your post. For the vinyl box set, 100+ bought in past month.

19 Oasis - Complete Studio Album Collection Complete Studio Album Collection (Amazon Exclusive Gold CD Box Set) Amazon Exclusive Edition Box Set - £52.99 Oasis Format: Audio CD 400+ bought in past month Can it stay in the Top 40 at that price?

For your information. OCC sales figures to end of July 2025. Oasis What's the story - 5,445,911 Definitely maybe - 2,905,378 Time flies - 2,229,751 Ed Sheeran, Divide - 4,420,972.

It is now their biggest UK seller, with I Want To Hold Your Hand on around 2.32m by my calculations. "Sun" now on 2.4m sales.

That would involve over 3,000 singles. When is the starting date? When BPI began in 1973 or OCC stats from 1994 onwards?

Look out Sgt. Pepper - Oasis are catching up fast on you. Probably less than 200,000 behind The Beatles. (Pepper is the biggest selling studio album)

Now 5.4m.

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.

Thanks very much. Did that - and it worked. Great! Would never have thought of doing that.

Why does the albums update chart only go down to no. 53.

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

From the OCC. Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department could see a spectacular return to the Official Albums Chart summit this week; eyeing a 23-place jump back to the top spot. The superstar’s eleventh studio LP, which has already clocked 10 non-consecutive weeks at Number 1 in the UK since its release last April, sees a surge thanks to the release of a signed CD edition celebrating the record’s one-year anniversary.

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".
