 The Beatles‘ ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ has been named Britain’s favourite ever studio album, in a special countdown to mark National Album Day today (October 13).<\/p>\n

The Fab Four’s eighth studio album was the only release from the 1960s to make the list, which was compiled by the Official Charts Company.<\/p>\n

The albums were ranked using a combination of physical sales, downloads and streams in order to determine the British public’s definitive ‘favourite’.<\/p>\n

‘Sgt. Peppers’ topped the chart with 5.34 million combined sales, edging out Adele‘s ’21’ which came second with 5.11 million, and Oasis‘ ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory’ with 4.94 million.<\/p>\n

Also in the top 10 were Pink Floyd‘s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’, Fleetwood Mac‘s ‘Rumours’ and Amy Winehouse‘s ‘Back To Black’.<\/p>\n

Adele had two entries in the top 10, with ’21”s follow-up ’25’ reaching number 10. Michael Jackson also boasts two albums at the top, with ‘Thriller’ and ‘Bad’ at numbers five and seven respectively.<\/p>\n

Dido, Ed Sheeran and Michael Bublé all have two records in the entire top 40, while Coldplay boast the most entries by a single band, with ‘A Rush Of Blood To The Head’ at number 27, ‘X&Y’ at number 32, and ‘Parachutes’ at number 40.<\/p>\n

The full chart is available on the Official Charts Company‘s website, and was revealed in a special episode of Pick of The Pops on Radio 2.<\/p>\n

The Beatles are currently gearing up for the re-release of another iconic LP, with a remixed 50th anniversary edition of their self-titled follow-up to ‘Sgt. Pepper’s’, aka ‘The White Album’ out on November 9.<\/p>\n

The album will be housed in a series of “lavishly presented” packages, with its 30 tracks having been newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and mix engineer Sam Okell in stereo and 5.1 surround audio.<\/p>\n
