According to the Sun Online, IRON MAIDEN have a chance of getting in the prestigious list of the 100 most successful recording artists of all time next year.

"The Guinness British Hit Singles and Albums" book ranks artists every year according to how many weeks they have spent in the U.K. singles and albums charts.

This year, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS are the only new entry — making it to number 97. GUNS N' ROSES are among the acts who have climbed the list (they are currently at 74).
