This cannot be right - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/2QnbffHjH7pqfpKF20PQy7B/the-top-40-best-selling-studio-albums-of-all-time
In whose world has Keane's Hope & Fears or Take That's Beautiful World sold more copies that Hysteria, Slippery When Wet, Metallica or Nevermind, none of which even make the list? There's no factual substance or sales figures backing this crazy list up, so I can't help but wonder what the point of it even is.

Presume this is UK only and that waht leads to the dicrepancies. Wikipedia has a list of best selling worldwide along with best selling by year - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums
Seems to be correct.
To my shame one of them is Coldplay's first album!
It definitely should be clearer that it’s a UK top 40 though...

If they have included audio streams in this that will have shifted it a bit, possibly to the detriment of the Led Zeps. Unless I missed it no Queen either yet when they did the top albums of all time a couple of years ago Queen Greatest Hits was number 1 ( I guess the dominance of compilations in that chart leading to the studio designation of this one).
[based on a quick look at that list from two years ago if you take out the compilations it is pretty similar]
I can’t stand Radiohead though. (Apart from Fake Plastic Trees.)
