Elvis Presley has been named the most successful music act of all time by Guinness World Records. The King has spent 2,463 weeks in the UK album and singles charts and retains his position at the top of the annual Guinness top 100 list. Elsewhere, Michael Jackson at number 8 has knocked David Bowie down to number 9, and Robbie Williams has entered the top 50 for the first time.

4. Queen
5. Madonna
6. Elton John
