What with Arctic Monkeys' incredible exploits last week, it's caused at least one chart expert to dig out his excel spreadsheets and produce this list. Apparently, details before 1995 are very scarce hence this list being based on sales since 1995. Many thanks to fiesta at Haven Forums for the list. Some surprises in there?

Robson & Jerome in there twice?

Bizarre... I didn't even know they'd had two albums released. Where are Hoddle and Waddle?
