As a solo artist, Ross recorded 65 top 75 singles in the UK and sang lead on a top 75 hit single for 33 consecutive years (1964-1997), which remains a record. Ross is among a select group of artists whose albums and singles combined have spent more than 1,000 weeks on the official UK charts, with her singles totalling 569 weeks (10.9 years) and her albums spending a total of 634 weeks (12 years) on the charts, bringing in a combined 1,203 weeks altogether.

As Motown was not affiliated with the RIAA until 1978 her albums released before that date have never been certified in the US, although six of these sold enough to reach gold status and one sold enough to reach platinum.
