Oasis의 Morning Glory 앨범전까진 Dire Straits의 Brothers In Arms 앨범이 영국내에서 최고의 판매고 기록을 가지고 있었던 것으로 알고 있습니다. 밀레니엄 시대에 접어들면서 The Beatles의 Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 앨범이 거의 20년 만에 위의 두 앨범을 제치고 정상을 탈환했군요. 영국내에선 비틀즈의 앨범중 유독 이 앨범만 베스트셀링을 기록하고 있다는 사실에 의아해지네요. 미국쪽과는 다르게 Pink Floyd나 Led Zeppelin의 앨범이 상당히 저조한 것도 눈에 띄네요. 레드 제플린은 순위권에도 없군요.
