Were download sales combined in the 80's cos madonnas into the groove is listed as selling over 800,000 copies but on some sites only as 760,000 copies?

Downloads in the 80s? The computers of those days would have taken about a week to download a short music file. And they'd have sounded awful on basic 80s computer speakers.

Until 'Earth Song', (1995), 'One Day In Your Life' was Michael Jackson's Best Selling Single in the
UK. 'One Day In Your Life' sold about 730,000. 'Billie Jean' sold about 645,000.

I get 'Frankie' on 715,000 Estimated Sales, & 'Chain Reaction' on 705,000 - its 1986 Sales.
'Chain Reaction' was also No.20, (for 3 Weeks), as a 1993 Re-issue.
