95.HEY BROTHER AVICII 895,000
 Narrowly failing to become his third chart topper in late 2013, Avicii did however round off his biggest year with this massive seller. Featuring the vocals of Dan Tyminski it’s very much in the same vein as “Wake Me Up” and also made the top 20 Stateside. |

94. ON THE FLOOR JENNIFER LOPEZ FT PITBULL 900,000
 Proving that J-Lo still had the potential to top the charts the “Lambada” sampling hit spent little time powering to the top back in 2011 giving Lopez her third chart topper but first in 6 years. For Pitbull it was his first taste of the top spot but he’d back there in just a few week’s time with even greater success. A reminder of when RedOne was THE producer of the time. |

93. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE SAM SMITH 900,000
 One of the few Sam Smith records I can bear to hear now this is the real highlight of the album in my opinion. With a promo featuring Glee actress Dianna Agron and “Mindy Project” actor Chris Messina, it also became a top 5 hit in the USA, don’t worry though there is more Sam Smith on the way….yay |

There is already way too much Jessie J in this countdown. Poor, brave 2006. Such good music, such poor sales

92. IN FOR THE KILL LA ROUX 902,000
 Gaining eventual bragging rights over the songs that held it off the No 1 position (namely Calvin Harris’ “I’m Not Alone” and Tinchy Stryder’s “Number One”) La Roux eventually outstripped both of them en route to 900k of sales. Inspired by the theme from 80s cartoon series “Pole Position” it proved their biggest seller but the duo only made one album before going their separate ways, Jackson keeping the name for her solo 2014 album. |

91. HOLD MY HAND JESS GLYNNE 903,000
 Starring on 5 chart toppers in just 24 months, Glynne is undoubtedly one of the biggest chart stars of the last few years. This isn’t her highest entry (I’m sure this won’t be a surprise to most) but it was her first solo No 1 hit helped by a performance on “The Voice”. |

90. A MOMENT LIKE THIS LEONA LEWIS 916,000
.jpg) Not the highest placed X Factor coronation single obviously, but it proved a UK chart topper for Lewis following her season victory in 2006 as it had proved for Kelly Clarkson in the US series of “Pop Idol” three years previously. Selling 50,000 copies in just 30 minutes of being available and coming in at a whopping 571k in its first week, sales rather trailed off after that as you’ll note but these sales would be the envy of recent winners. |

For someone who has been following the charts for nearly 30 years it's bizarre to see so many merely large hits selling 900,000 copies. It was only the truly massive hits that got anywhere near there for most of my chart following years.

I think that's what's made certain recent megahits especially unbearable for me - they're not just mildly popular songs, they're some of the BIGGEST SELLING SINGLES OF OF ALL TIME, and I genuinely try and like them but they keep leaving me cold.
I remember everyone 10-15 years ago sneering at the low sales of the time and using the easy excuse of substandard music, but today I'll hear a song, think it mildly pleasant but underwhelming, and watch in utter bafflement as it zooms past a million sales within weeks and outsells almost every one of my all-time faves. Those sort of tracks are gonna make up half of the top ten I think, although it does make it extra special when a song I genuinely like does become a million seller - something extremely rare since 2013! |

In truth I have liked a handful of the recent million sellers - but there's just so many to choose from nowadays it was bound to happen.
Rolling in the Deep Somebody that I Used to Know La La La Rather Be Take Me to Church All well played by me. |

I assume “Mr. Brightside” is still to come, amazing to consider it sold just around 35,000 copies in 2004 when it charted (briefly) at #10.

89. SUGAR MAROON 5 916,000
 Penned originally by Mike Posner for his second album, that was eventually shelved but this track was given to Levine for the Maroon 5 album after Levine expressed his desire to have the song. A hasty bit of extra production and some lyrics rewritten and it was good enough to become a Maroon 5 single with Posner providing backing vocals. |

88. CAN'T HOLD US MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS & DALTON 919,000
 It was four singles in before Macklemore and Lewis struck it big with the chart topping “Thrift Shop” but it’s the follow up (though in reality an earlier single from the pair) that turned out to be the bigger seller. It only made No 3 here but did become the group’s second US chart topper though naturally “Same Love” remains their best obviously. |

87. LOVE ME AGAIN JOHN NEWMAN 923,000
 Teaming up with Steve Booker to write is debut solo single, John Newman struck gold with this track returning him to the top just over a year after he was there courtesy of Rudimental. Booker had previously help to pen Duffy’s “Mercy” which accounts for the Northern Soul feel to the track which sent Buzzjack into meltdown for a week! |
