Greatest Hits Radio has revealed the Top 200 most-streamed albums released in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Based on Official Charts Company data, Queen's 1981 Greatest Hits has been revealed as the most-streamed album in the UK from the 70s, 80s and 90s - indeed, the album is the UK's best-selling album of all time, with over 6 million units sold since its release.
The most-streamed studio album on this unique list is Fleetwood Mac's 1977 classic Rumours at Number 2, while the highest-charting album from the 90s is, perhaps unsurprisingly, Oasis' (What's The Story) Morning Glory? in third place.
Other artists that feature in the Top 40 include ABBA, Dr Dre, Nirvana, the Stone Roses, Madonna, Blondie, Jimi Hendrix and Michael Jackson.
The full Top 200 is available to listen back to on Greatesthitsradio.co.uk - the full rundown took place over three days this weekend, with the shows packed full of exclusive chart facts and stats about the featured albums.

I'd be more interested in a list of albums that aren't 'Greatest Hits' otherwise it's just a substitution for a playlist of an artist you like.
