The Fame is the 30th biggest selling album of all time in the UK

[ViviLittleM 3]

60 years ago this month saw the birth of the Official Albums Chart – the UK’s official weekly snapshot of popularity dedicated to one of the most influential art forms of our time.

The first ever chart, which was published in Record Mirror on 22 July 1956, saw Frank Sinatra’s Songs For Swingin’ Lovers landing in the coveted Number 1 slot. Now, over half a century of vinyl, cassette, CD and download-purchasing later, nearly 1,100 albums have hit the top spot in the UK.

To mark the chart’s historic milestone and kick off July’s month-long anniversary celebrations, OfficialCharts.com can today unveil the 60 biggest selling albums of all time here in Britain, as compiled by the Official Charts Company.

The Official Charts company in the United Kingdom released their list of the best selling albums of all time. 

Lady Gaga's The Fame lands at #30 on the list!

It's an amazing accomplishment because only 3 albums released since The Fame have sold more and 2 of those albums belong to Adele. 

#4: 21 - Adele

#24: Crazy Love - Michael Buble

#27: 25 - Adele
