BBC Radio 2 - Tony Blackburn, 04/06/2012

Tony Blackburn with the UK's 60 best-selling singles artists of the past 60 years.

Tony Blackburn presents a brand new listing of the UK's best-selling singles artists of the past 60 years.

Radio 2's very own diamond, Tony Blackburn, presents a specially commissioned chart from The Official Charts Company of the 60 best-selling singles artists of the past 60 years. As he counts down the chart to find who has sold the highest total number of records Tony will be playing each artist's own top-selling release. Expect the Beatles, maybe Elvis, possibly Madonna but will there be room for Rod, Stevie, Freddie, Tom, George, David, Frank or even Adele? 

The final countdown will not be compiled until just a few days before the programme. Join Tony on this special day of celebration for a right royal party and sixty of the best. Take part with news of your own celebrations by text to 88291 and email to tonyb@bbc.co.uk.
