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

[@Jimmy-hf8fz]

Status Quo, more hits in the UK than any other band. Even though this must be American based, Quo must be rated in the top few British bands.

[@brucecreel6406]

Led Zeppelin is not number 15 on any reputable list.

[@doscwolny2221]

It's about hits, not overall sales for example. That's why Zep and Floyd are low. They were both album bands.
