The Official Top 20 biggest selling groups of all time revealed!

 

 

By Dan Lane

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Official Singles Chart, we reveal The Official Top 20 Biggest Selling Groups Of All Time!

In just over a week we’ll be blowing out the candles on a very big birthday cake to celebrate 60th glittering years of the Official Singles Chart. To whet your appetites for the big day, we’ve already revealed the Official Top 10 biggest selling male artists and biggest selling female singles artists of all time, and to today we reveal The Official Top 20 Biggest Selling Groups Of All Time!

The Beatles top the chart with a combined singles sales total of 22.1 million singles. This makes John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr not only the biggest selling group in the history of the Official Singles Chart, but with a 400,000 lead over Elvis Presley, it also the biggest selling act of all time, too.

To date The Beatles have enjoyed 31 Top 40 hits (including 17 Official Number 1 singles). Their first hit was Love Me Do which peaked at Number 17 in 1962 (it would eventually climb up to Number 4 in 1982 after being re-issued to celebrate its 20th anniversary). The Beatles' biggest selling track, however, is their fifth single, She Loves You, which peaked at Number 1 in 1963.

The UK’s second biggest selling singles group of all time is Queen. The quartet have a combined sales total of 12.8 million singles, and their biggest selling track is of course Bohemian Rhapsody.

Taken from the band’s fourth album, 1975’s A Night At The Opera, Bohemian Rhapsody reached the top of the Official Singles Chart on November 2 of that year giving the band their first ever Number 1 single. It would occupy the top spot for nine weeks and sold over a million copies. Following the death of lead singer Freddie Mercury in November 1991, Bohemian Rhapsody would return to the top of the Official Singles Chart. In its five week stand, it sold nearly a million copies again, making it the only single to become an Official Christmas Number 1 on two separate occasions and claim the top spot in four different calendar years (1975, 1976, 1991 and 1992). The band’s Greatest Hits album is the UK’s biggest selling album of all time.

ABBA are at Number 3 with a combined sales total of 11.3 million copies. The Swedish group, who disbanded in 1982, enjoyed 25 Top 40 hits (including nine Number 1s). Their biggest selling track is 1976’s Dancing Queen.

The Top 5 is completed by The Rolling Stones (Number 4) who have a combined sales total of 10.1 million singles, and Oasis (9.079 million combined single sales) who have leapfrogged Take That (9.078 million) to take fifth place.

The Official Top 20 Biggest Selling Groups Of All Time are as follows:

LOS BRITÁNICOS QUIEREN QUE ABBA VUELVA / The British want Abba to come back

Abba

Según una encuesta realizada por la empresa PRS for Music, que se encarga de recaudar los beneficios por derechos de autor en nombre de los compositores de canciones y música (algo así como una SGAE en Reino Unido) el público británico quiere ver, sobre todas las cosas, el regreso a los escenarios de ABBA.
Hasta una cuarta parte de las personas que participaron en la encuesta realizada por PRS for Music se mostraron entusiasmado con el hipotético regreso de la banda sueca que triunfó en los años 70 y 80 con sus grandes éxitos.
En segundo lugar, alejada de ese 25 por ciento de respuestas que consiguió ABBA, los británicos eligieron a la banda que en su día lideró Sting, The Police, que obtuvo un 13 por ciento de respuestas. Le sigue el grupo británico Pink Floyd, con un 11 por ciento de encuestados deseando su regreso.
En cuarta posición, con un 11 por ciento de respuestas, se situa The Smiths, banda en la que debutó Morrissey, seguida de los recientemente disueltos Oasis (10 por ciento) The Jam (9 por ciento) los Dire Straits (8 por ciento) The Clash (6 por ciento) Spice Girls (4 por ciento) y los Sex Pistols (3 por ciento).

According to a survey done by PRS for Music, which recollects the benefits of author's copyrights from music & lyric composers, they British audience wants to see Abba on stage again above all groups.

Up to the fourth part of the people who participated in the survey done by PRS for Music were excited by a hypothetical comeback of the Swedish supergroup which had great success in the 70s & 80s.

In the second place and very far away from that 25% achieved by Abba, the British chose Sting's band The Police with a 13%. Followed by another British group Pink Floyd with an 11%.

In fourth position are The Smiths, Morrisey's debut band with 11%, followed by recently split-up Oasis (10%), The Jam (9%), Dire Straits (8%), The Clash (6%), Spice Girls (4%) & Sex Pistols (3%).
