If albums too then possibly Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac and Beatles.

So basically despite BigMo's insistence that it was UK sales, it was in fact world sales, which explains a lot....

Even if we had known the correct category, I still think The Ink Spots would have been a "pointless" answer Surprised
