Re: UK's Most Successful Chart Acts
That 2002 JXL remix of 'A Little Less Conversation'
has racked up UK chart units to date of 1,200,000 !
From the Official UK Charts site:
A technical point: JXL was already 'known' as Junkie XL when he did the remix.
It was when Priscilla objected, that the word 'Junkie' was shortened to 'J' for this release...
