Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of the article List of best-selling singles of the 1960s in the United Kingdom know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on August 26, 2013. You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/August 26, 2013. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors The Rambling Man ( talk · contribs), Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs) or Giants2008 ( talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. Thanks! Tbhotch. ™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 20:11, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
The best-selling single of the 1960s in the United Kingdom was " She Loves You" by The Beatles (pictured). Released on 23 August 1963, "She Loves You" spent six weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart and sold more than 1.89 million copies, approximately 140,000 more than its nearest rival, " I Want to Hold Your Hand", also by The Beatles. An additional 12 singles also sold over a million copies in the UK by the end of the decade. The best-selling single by a female artist was Cilla Black's version of " Anyone Who Had a Heart", which became the UK's 27th highest-selling record of the 1960s. The biggest-selling song not to top the singles chart was Acker Bilk's 1961 instrumental " Stranger on the Shore" – it sold more than 1.13 million copies and peaked at number two, being kept off the top by " The Young Ones" by Cliff Richard & The Shadows. During the 1960s, sales of singles in the UK were monitored by several magazines, including New Music Express, Record Retailer, Melody Maker and Disc.

List of best-selling singles in the United Kingdom Sales Figure updates.

Hello, I have been speaking with Deb and Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars, and the latter suggested I contact you, as you have been heavily involved with the more recent years of the above articles. Basically I want to overhaul all of them and standardise them, in particular the year end charts which often have no citations (at best just a vague reference to Music Week or Record Mirror without any verifiable referencing) and the format changes from year to year - some are lists, others are tables; some are top 10, top 20, top 40, etc.
After spending a bit of time in the British Library I do now have proper citations for most of these charts going back to the 1970s, although as you may be aware, the UK charts before 1983 (when Gallup took over the charts from the BMRB and started automating the chart returns) are now considered very unreliable and have been sujected to some major revisions, so the published charts at the time can't be used: I'm working on sorting this out. In the meantime, I wondered if you had any opinion on the formatting? My view is that the cut-off point should be a top 40 or top 50 at most (some of the year end charts go up to a top 100 or even top 200, but this would make the list way too long, and in any case as I have already said, the earlier the chart, the more unreliable they are likely to be). I also prefer to use a simple list rather than a table – I can see that a table would be useful for more recent years where sales figures can be included, but as there were no official yearly sales figures published before 1994, I don't see what other useful information can be added to the title and artist, except maybe peak position, but this could be placed in brackets afterwards anyway. But I haven't got anything 'set in stone' yet – I wanted to get some opinions from people who have worked on the articles and try to come to some consensus as to how to present them. I would post on WikiProject boards to try and canvas opinion, but apart from Wikipedia:WikiProject Music I'm not sure there are any relevant projects that are still active these days.

Hi – I don't know if you still have the above page on your watchlist but you may want to read the reply I wrote to Tuzapicabit's three-year-old query on the talk page. Basically the list that is curently featured is not an official one, which means we either have the option of replacing it with the official one that is now considered error-ridden (I can get hold of this list with a citation, so it could be included with some notes regarding its accuracy), or we just delete the page altogether. I've let Tuzapicabit know as well so we can see if we can come to a consensus regarding the article's future. Richard3120 ( talk) 10:19, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
I've posted comments in the talk pages of List of best-selling singles of the 20th century in the United Kingdom and List of best-selling singles of the 21st century in the United Kingdom as the WP:CENTURY states that the difinition of these centuries be 1901-2000 and 2001-2100 respectively (not the colloquial use of 19XX and 20XX). As you have been one of the main forces behind these pages, I thought you might like to have an input into how we work with renaming etc to fit in with WP guidelines. My initial ideas are in the talk pages, but there are various ways this could be pursued. Btljs ( talk) 13:18, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
Hi A Thousand Doors,
Nice job in getting so many music-related lists up to featured list status! I was just looking at the HMV's Poll of Polls article and I noticed that the results from the 2013 poll don't seem to be in the list yet. Would you be willing to update the list? I was considering nominating it for a Today's Featured List slot, but I don't think it would pass without first being updated, and I thought that you would know how to do so.

The wiki page Official Album Streaming Chart is important and part of the Official Charts Company like the Official Single Streaming Chart is. Just leave the article as it is because it is a brand new chart which has only just been launched since streaming data became incorporated into the UK Albums Chart.

Hi, I'm afraid I'm going to bother you again on the subject of "best of the decade" lists. I know you've been keeping an eye on List of best-selling albums of the 2000s in the United Kingdom and I've checked the current article (based on the Radio 1 rundown) against the updated list that appeared in Music Week at the end of January 2010. There are a few small changes, plus some big ones: it looks like the OCC forgot RHCP's By the Way entirely in their original list as it now appears at number 28, and the 2009 albums are all downgraded markedly... Susan Boyle drops from 21 to 52, Lady Gaga from 56 to 73, and Michael Bublé out of the top 100 altogether. I have to say though, that all these falls match up with the sales figures given for these albums and compared with other sales figures for some of the other albums in the top 100.
The one that bothers me though is Back to Black: Radio 1 announced it as the third biggest seller of the decade, and yet it is only number 19 in Music Week. I've been trawling through what sales figures I can find, and my theory is that the Radio 1 chart combines sales of the standard and deluxe editions, while the Music Week list includes sales of the standard edition only. So we have to decide now which placing we are going for in the article. I'm tempted to stick with keeping it at number 3, with a note to the effect that Music Week didn't include sales of the deluxe edition – it seems like all subsequent lists of the best-selling albums of all time in the UK lump sales of both versions of Back to Black together, even though they were listed as two separate albums with separate chart positions at the time. What do you reckon? Richard3120 ( talk) 21:37, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
