The magazine sized up each band's performance with a points system that measured sales of their biggest album, the scale of their biggest headlining show and the total number of weeks spent on the UK album chart. Difficulties in finding accurate and reliable figures mean it is virtually impossible to compare on total album sales alone.
Das sind übrigens die Kriterien, nach denen diese Liste erstellt wurde. Von daher scheint es mir ziemlich „schwachsinnig“, sie mit eigenen Listen zu vergleichen.
