This list comprises the top 500 most successful acts in the UK, with chart singles and album hits combined, adding together their weeks spent on both charts. Tied positions were decided according to the weeks that acts had spent at #1, then #2, and so on.

Nice compilation! Absolutely amazing that someone who barely made a blip on the charts on this side of the Atlantic can place above the Beatles in their own homeland. Also a surprise to see Jim Reeves name so high on the list - not that he didn't deserve it.

Martin198302/12/2005

True, although Cliff's success here would most likely be attributed to the fact that he's had hits since the late 1950s and is still performing now. Had the Beatles kept on going...who knows what material they'd have come up with.

Wezzo02/12/2005

Thanks for posting this Martin! I'd only seen the list that counts only singles weeks. Pleased REM are rather high compared to their status when only singles are considered, and of course it's good to see Queen, Elton, Beatles, Jackson etc. up so high.

Martin198302/12/2005

Not a problem, you're more than welcome!
I plan to put down 101-500 down sometime in the near future. The 100 were written down on a handy list, but the remaining 400 are scattered around somewhere, with only individual weeks on the singles and the album charts, so no combinations of both. But when I get down to it and do some proper research, I'll have the rest of the artists down.
