Champagne Supernova outselling Lyla is pretty incredible...

Definitely! I suppose with 'Lyla' being released in 2005 and, as far as I can recall, having a pretty bad chart run meant it would struggle to managed 200k.

'The Importance of Being Idle' was also from 2005 which explains the pretty low position for that - I'd say it was arguably their most well-known 21st century single.

Supersonic must be one of the best selling non-Top 30 singles.

That total for 'Wonderwail' must exclude streams, as I'm sure it has passed 1.3m combined.

The Importance Of Being Idle should really be a lot higher than it is Probably would be if the sales climate of 2005 was better, it seemed like a genuine hit whereas Lyla was a bit flashinthepan
