The Official Charts Company celebrates 60

Less than a month before the chart's 60

Good heavens! No Diana Ross on the list? Jx
I am shocked, I assure you! How the hell do Whitney, Mariah, Beyonce and that damn Rihanna (in second place, no less!) end up on that list, but no Diana Ross???
I am a bit surprised also to see that Olivia made the top 10, but I'm not complaining about that...
I do always find these things a bit dodgy. When do their records begin? How do they calculate them? I'm certain there are bigger contenders than even Miss Newton-John and Miss Ross that could, and should, be on this list, but hey ho. Lies, damned lies and statistics and all that... Jx
