I'm surprised there's no Beyonce etc, but it's a deserving list of artists. Worth noting that Britney Spears is the youngest artist to appear and there's only about 11 active artists on the list.
1. Cliff Richard (21,350,000) 2. Elvis Presley (20,840,000) 3. The Beatles (20,800,000) 4. Madonna (17,000,000) 5. Elton John (14,725,000) 6. Michael Jackson (14,030,000) 7. Queen (11,900,000) 8. ABBA (10,040,000) 9. Paul McCartney (9,910,000) 10. David Bowie (9,910,000) 11. Rod Stewart (9,500,000) 12. Kylie Minogue (9,200,000) 13. The Rolling Stones (8,990,000) 14. Stevie Wonder (8,290,000) 15. Whitney Houston (7,800,000) 16. Spice Girls (7,780,000) 17. Oasis (7,645,000) 18. George Michael (7,475,000) 19. Shakin' Stevens (7,260,000) 20. Bee Gees (7,200,000) 21. Status Quo (7,000,000) 22. Boyzone (6,750,000) 23. Blondie (6,745,000) 24. Slade (6,720,000) 25. Olivia Newton-John (6,630,000) 26. Boney M (6,560,000) 27. Robbie Williams (6,560,000) 28. Britney Spears (6,420,000) 29. Tom Jones (6,375,000) 30. U2 (6,345,000) 31. UB40 (6,345,000) 32. Westlife (6,320,000) 33. Celine Dion (6,140,000) 34. Mariah Carey (6,140,000) 35. Police (5,940,000) 36. Madness (5,850,000) 37. Dianna Ross (5,675,000) 38. Wham! (5,660,000) 39. Prince (5,620,000) 40. Eminem (5,540,450)

Wow that is amazing for Britney, didn't expect her to be just behind Robbie and in front of Westlife who have a huge following in the UK.

One interesting point to note is this is a revision of an earlier list produced in 2004. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_best...ts_of_all_time in 2004 at 21 Boney M (6,587,018) in 2010 at 26 Boney M (6,560,000) So they had 27,000 records returned? The listing itself is discussed here: http://www.ukmix.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=70203 |

Its all definition isnt it, Girls Aloud were reported to be the UK's most successful girl band. Yet dont appear on the list, while the Spice Girls do.

Quite surprised by Olivia Netwon John, not so much Britney though, her first single sold over 1,000,000 copies here alone
