Crisis, What Crisis?










Found reference to this today on one of the CBC rss feeds I check out. Here it is, the list of:



THE UK’S 100 BEST SELLING ALBUMS (THE OFFICIAL UK CHARTS COMPANY)

(I'm listing the top 10, read on for the question...)

  1. GREATEST HITS QUEEN 5,407,58
  2. SGT.PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND BEATLES 4,811,996
  3. WHAT'S THE STORY MORNING GLORY OASIS 4,314,715
  4. BROTHERS IN ARMS DIRE STRAITS 3,956,704
  5. GOLD-GREATEST HITS ABBA 3,943,950
  6. THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON PINK FLOYD 3,781,993
  7. GREATEST HITS II QUEEN 3,644,619
  8. THRILLER MICHAEL JACKSON 3,578,107
  9. BAD MICHAEL JACKSON 3,554,301
  10. THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION MADONNA 3,402,160
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Now, not only is it hard to believe that in this list there are a number of non-brits on the list including two Michael Jackson albums and an ABBA album -- but, can anyone guess what the the 11th biggest seller is?



I wouldn't have in a million years.



But before you click on this link to find out, think about it for a while. Hint, it's not Led Zep (who didn't make)..but, they are British.



BTW, the link contains the entire list.

Didn't guess that. But I see your man David Gray made it onto the list.

I guessed wrong. My guess was 30.

What horrible taste the masses have.

Therzo: #30, you should be asshamed.

I agree. He's a, how do they say, git. But, I've heard the people there love him.
