'Stay Another Day' not even top 20? 
does anyone have an approximate sales figure for that?
Posted by: Dasher Dec 11 2020, 02:36 PM
That depends on which figure they use. They are already over a million if you use the higher figure of the time. Its figure was given as 1.14 million last year including streams

Nice sales especially since there’s no streams. When would Mariah Carey fit in here if it claimed this year Christmas number one?
Posted by: TomJ1991 Dec 12 2020, 04:00 AM
She just got to number one with 4000 pure sales...I honestly don't think we will see many acts moving up much higher in terms of traditional sales, even with the Christmas boost.
Posted by: jimwatts Dec 12 2020, 08:09 AM
1.24 million pure sales to date would put her between 12th and 13th here.

Not bad at all tbf! Slade still ahead on pure sales and she will only sell a small amount each year now
Posted by: spiceboy Dec 12 2020, 11:09 AM
That was on just under 900k pure sales. It’s on approx 950k now.
