Following a discussion in a pub about the best-selling albums in the UK, I thought I would update this feature especially as many of the albums in this list are still on the chart in the 2020s and the gap between the top two is ‘only’ 400,000 copies. With a few tied places, there are 27 titles in the countdown.
