Default Top 50 most successful Artists in UK charts

Bon Jovi get a mention, or more specifically Jon Bon Jovi with around 680 weeks in the chart. Near the bottom of the top 50, but still good!!

The article said: 'the inevitable excess in drugs and alcohol didn't diminish their appeal'

It also said Bon Jovi are worth around £20 million.

Full list can be found in today's Daily Mail.

they're worth a hell of a lot more than that. £20million based on uk sales, maybe.

let's say every record is worth 5 pounds than they'd have sold 4000.000 in the UK alone....
I guess that number ain't right.

Well, Jon alone made his first 100 million when he was 21! so that figure definately ain't right!

nop chance he made 100 million by he was 21. he might not even be worth that just now but they have made alot more than 20 millions over their career.

£200,000 a year for each member is way off the mark with regards to what they earn.

JOn said he made his 1st million when he was 24 and his 1st 100 million when he was 36. But this was in a Q article so how true it is we will never know!

Sounds about right, he was 24 when Slippery was released, and 36, erm, roughly the time of Destination Anywhere?
