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