Notes^ Note that BPI (UK) album-certification-awards prior to 1979 were based on revenue received by manufacturers (usually based on price to dealer). Therefore, to calculate BPI's certified sales on albums released before 1979, one must divide the received award by the cost of an individual album (whatever at the time) to determine the units that the awards represented at the time.
