16TH BEST SELLING ARTIST IN THE UK? ARE YOU SURE?

You can, of course, prove anything with facts, but our head really can't even begin to take in the facts about Shakin' Stevens:

Because Shaky, to this day, is the 16th-highest-selling artist in the UK. Ever. Full stop.

He's the most successful British singles chart performer achieving 30 Top 30 hits, a record which is still unsurpassed, and has more number ones than any other Welsh artist.

And, according to the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles, he shares with the Beatles and Elton John the distinction of being the most successful UK chart performer of a decade, in his case the '80s.

He also discovered the cure for smallpox and was the first man to ever pull off cold fusion.
