The 20 most successful British rock bands according to the Billboard Hot 100™ |

[@gunterwarlord]

Первое и второе место не вызывает сомнения, всё так и должно быть. Но, чёрт возьми, что здесь делает Tears For Fears??? Это даже не рок,а откровенная попса! Да и панкам здесь не место (Clash). Police.... Её нельзя назвать чисто британской, там только Стинг британец. Таких монстров рока как Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple поставить во вторую десятку, а Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest вообще не включить в список-это просто тупо!👎🏻

Это версия журнала Билборд . Она составлена по количеству хитов этого американского журнала среди его читателей . Есть много версий других издательств , телекомпаний , радиокомпаний . У каждого издательства свой слушатель вкусы и предпочтения разные . Версии тоже разные , могут подсчитать по тиражу выпущенных дисков или по количеству песен которые занимали первые места в радио эфире . Все эти места условные и надо ориентироваться на свой вкус , то что нам по душе . Сейчас считают по количеству просмотров в интернете , но во времена БИТЛЗ не было интернета , а во времена Моцарта не выпускались диски , так что повторюсь это всё версии .

[@BackingTrackCenter]

Идеальный. Это именно так. Мы знаем, какие группы хороши и действительно заложили основу в истории, нам нужно сосредоточиться на этом. В дальнейшем мы будем делать новые версии, стремясь приблизиться к более близкому к истине результату. Спасибо за ваш комментарий и аудиторию. С Рождеством!

Status quo opened live aid and appeared on the original band aid single “do they know it’s Christmas time”. even if they aren’t on the “hot 100” list they need recognition, plus they used more than 3 chords to dismiss the popular comment which was joked about by the band themselves, take a look at Rick Parfitt’s rhythm playing and Francis Rossi’s lead lines as well as their lyrics, not just the popular tracks, it’s a mystery why the haven’t been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame.

Why is it that Led Zeppelin fans get heated over singles and try to put it down? I mean I’m a zep fan too but there are some hardcore fans who hate singles. Is it because the group refused to release them? They also hated TV appearances, does that mean that TV appearances suck just because LZ say so? Singles are an important part of any group’s career.

I couldn't find any information about Ten Years After's (one of my favorite bands) performance on the Billboard Hot 100. Do you have any information about this? Thanks for commenting!

[@oscarvanschijndel4989]

What about The Sweet? Little Willy No. 3, The Ballroom Blitz No. 5, Fox On The Run No. 5, Love Is Like Oxygen No. 8. Plus minor hits Co-Co, Blockbuster, Action, Funk It Up and California Nights.

[@BackingTrackCenter]

You're right, Sweet should be on this list. They will be included in a re-release. Thanks for watching and commenting. Merry Christmas!

I think this list should be done according to the Billboard 200 albums chart 😉

[@BackingTrackCenter]

You're right and that's a great suggestion. The Billboard 200 list would give us a completely different reality. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@petermildren5326]

Great concept. Mathematical error though. Moody Blues 3 x Top 10 hits (3 x5 =15) and 21 songs (21 x 2 -= 42) = total 57. Not 67. Equal 11 with The Who , not #8.

[@BackingTrackCenter]

Our fault! Moody Blues would be in 10th place. Thanks for noticing that, we'll make the correction in a reissue. Merry Christmas!

[@simonWarner-pw5bl]

Where are the Quo? They have been around since the 60's and are still going strong today or don't you like them? It's always the Beatles and there are people who AREN'T Beatles fans- i'm one of those fans

[@King_sir_quakers_the_57th]

I feel like slade should be there somewhere, they had a big impact in the 70s and I luv them

[@BackingTrackCenter]

You're right, Slade should be on this list. In a reissue they will be included. Thanks for watching and commenting. Merry Christmas!

[@King_sir_quakers_the_57th]

@BackingTrackCenter cool merry xmas to u to :)

[@ronaldyardley8965]

The Who ..lots of Great Singles & Albums..Greatest Rock n Roll Band ! 👍

[@davidmccourt8174]

Status Quo? Sweet? Iron Maiden?

[@timdix1203]

You missed Duran Duran! Not a huge fan, but they would have been in 6th place with 87 points.

[@BackingTrackCenter]

They would definitely be in, but would you classify them as rock? If so, then they belong here! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@DavidTurner-r1k]

No Cliff and the Shadows?

[@KevinRudd-w8s]

Surprised Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin are on this list as they are not regarded as singles bands in their native UK, though Floyd and Tull did have the odd hit. I gues they must have released a few more in the States. I imagine if this was on album sales they would be much nearer the top with with possibly only the Beatles and The Stones higher, I suspect David Bowie, Yes and Sabath might appear in an album chart as well. Perhaps you could do one? Would be interesting.

[@BackingTrackCenter]

Your suggestion is great. Let's prepare a more complete list with more comprehensive criteria so we can have a more accurate idea of ​​the success of these groups. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a Merry Christmas!

[@Mimrucz]

17 and CREAM...three geniuses...two guitars and drums...first supergroup in rock history 🤨

[@gcobas]

What about YES ?

[@chinchin4800]

Yes: 1 No.1+ 5 TOP40 Hits = min. 20 points

[@ВладимирМарусенко-у1х]

Iron Maiden. Judas Priest Motorhead

[@jacquisampson-marat5277]

They forgot Supertramp

[@ВладимирМарусенко-у1х]

Iron Maiden. Judas Priest Motorhead

[@chinchin4800]

Yes. Supertramp = 2 TOP10 hits + 7 TOP40 (I won't look for HOT100 up now) = min. 24 points.

[@MegaBadseed]

Def Leppard #1 for me

[@СергійМанєк]

Slade, Nazareth,Sweet ???

[@lynby6231]

No Bad Company, Yes, ELP, King Crimson, Budgie, Black Sabbath, Slade and I can think of many more, is this about American singles? You don’t just rock bands by number one singles, you judge boy bands that way, fleecing schoolgirls out of their pocket money.

[@BackingTrackCenter]

👍👍

[@claudebuysse7482]

Don't forget Roxy Music !!!

[@juanmanuelgarciafelis639]

Pas de arctic Monkeys, Blur, Oasis ?

[@krakatoa1200]

Wow, what a line up? but honestly I didn't rate Def Leppard as highly as the others in the clip.

[@BackingTrackCenter]

I'm glad you enjoyed the list. Although Def Leppard is a little different from some of the bands on the list, their impact on the charts and on British rock was huge. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@greghart4216]

Def Leppard are awesome

[@nicolasmacsana]

What about Oasis ? Blur ? Supertramp ?

[@BackingTrackCenter]

We researched all of them and they didn't score high enough on the Hot 100 (single sales) to make the list. Our next video will be based on album sales, I'm sure these bands will be featured heavily. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a Merry Christmas!

[@aliesterpertile9089]

Wow. Oasis is in 2nd division?

[@BackingTrackCenter]

True. At least on the Billboard Hot 100™ they are scoring low. Thanks for watching and commenting. Merry Christmas!
