Hey guys - Here's an updated chart trajectory of the Number Ones album in the UK.

The album has spent 116 weeks in their Top 200 album chart so far!

I would think it surely must have surpassed 1.5 million in hard sales by now.

The Thriller ringtone has been progressively climbing up Billboard's "Hot Ringtones" chart for weeks now, and with the latest issued data it is currently residing at #5 out of all existing ringtone singles.

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/char...0&g=Singles

Some additional notes not available on Billboard's site: During the last week in October, Thriller soared up some 62% and increased from rank #21 to #6, marking the most substantial increase in ringtone sales that week with some 4,500 units purchased.

Just felt like posting this, especially with all of this recent discussion about Thriller...
 
Does anyone know what the total worldwide sales for "Invincible" are? I keep hearing everything from 10-15 million, anyone know?

UK

In THE most anticipated chart of all time, VH1 has teamed up with The Official UK Charts Company to release a definitive list of the Top 100 Best Selling Albums ever. This chart is not another poll voted for by the critics or viewers of a TV programme; it is a chart made up of actual sales figures from the last fifty years, unveiling who really has had the best selling album of all time; a fact that has never been revealed before, until now on VH1’s ‘Nation’s Favourite Album.’ VH1’s ‘Nation’s Favourite Album’ which transmits 18th November on VH1 at 6pm, reveals that legendary rockers Queen have outsold all other artists to claim the coveted title of the UK’s favourite album with their Greatest Hits compilation selling a staggering 5,407,587. The Beatles are in second place with ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band.’ Cementing their place in music history, third place goes to Oasis, with ‘What’s The Story Morning Glory’: Top Ten Top Selling Albums of All Time:

Queen – Greatest Hits - 5,407,587
Beatles – Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - 4,803,292
Oasis – What’s The Story Morning Glory - 4,304,504
Dire Straits – Brothers In Arms - 3,946,931
ABBA – Gold Greatest Hits – 3,932,316
Pink Floyd – The Dark Side of The Moon – 3,759,958
Queen – Greatest Hits II – 3,631,321
Michael Jackson – Thriller – 3,570,250
Michael Jackson – Bad – 3,549,950
Madonna – The Immaculate Collection – 3,364,785


The VH1 extravaganza hosted by Alex James, will make for compulsive viewing as he counts down the chart uncovering data that has never been revealed to the public, record companies and more importantly the artists themselves. A team of researchers from The Official UK Charts Company have worked tirelessly for over six months, trawling through hand written till receipts from the 1950’s to the most current sales figures, to announce information that will send shock waves through the music industry.

Astonishingly music luminaries such as Rolling Stones, Sting, The Sex Pistols and Bob Dylan do not have a single album in the top 100 and have been pipped to the post by artists such as Jason Donovan and Robson & Jerome.

Relative newcomers David Gray and James Blunt have pushed some of the biggest names of all time out of the Top 100, proving that music from every decade still has an incredible impact whether it is from contemporary artists such as Coldplay or old school musicians such as Simon & Garfunkel.

Heart-throb Robbie Williams walks away with the accolade of having the most album entries in the Top 100 with six, followed by Brit pop legends Oasis, Michael Jackson and Canadian warbler Celine Dion each with three album entries.

Highlighting the current trend of re-invention; the soundtracks from Dirty Dancing and The Sound of Music come in at number 36 and 37 respectively.

VH1’s ‘Nation’s Favourite Album’ on the 18th November at 6pm will be presented by Alex James and will be shown as a continuous five hour countdown. These sought after facts and figures will be interspersed with a plethora of interviews from leading figures from the music and entertainment industries. The ‘Nation’s Favourite Album’ countdown will be followed on November 20th by 10x60 hour spin-off shows.
