* still charting
Two new topics opened for sales! I've split singles and albums up, and each thread has a little analysis post.
That was such an interesting read.
I rarely check the 1D thread so to see History as their second biggest seller was a shock to me! I was expecting one of Story Of My Life or Best Song Ever.
You and I is so underrated
Some strong solo sales too what were also quite surprising! I guess I underestimate the streaming era still
good!!
One Direction's Midnight Memories (single) has been certified as SILVER in the UK for over 200,000 units sold.
All of their 17 singles are certified;
Adore You becomes the fifth 1D-related single to re-enter the top 10. It follows Steal My Girl, Perfect, PILLOWTALK and Just Hold On!
im pretty sure History and Strip That Down has hit 1 million now.
Yup I believe they have, though I'm not going to mark them as so until we've got any proper figures!
For You becomes the eighth solo 1D single to be certified platinum!
Updated for the last 2 weeks! Falling now upgraded to a proper single, and No Judgement also added.
I missed it when updating the thread. Easy mistake, no need to be rude
Updated - Adore You has now outsold Lights Up! It's also matched Lights Up on 12 top 40 weeks - the joint most for any Harry single, so it'll hold that record outright this coming week.
Updated - Adore You is now Harry's longest top 40 runner outright!
Adore You matches the top 40 weeks of I Don't Wanna Live Forever and Dusk Till Dawn. These are the solo tracks with the most weeks top 40:
1. 16 Strip That Down
2. 15 PILLOWTALK
2. 15 Slow Hands
4. 14 I Don't Wanna Live Forever
4. 14 Dusk Till Dawn
4. 14 Adore You
7. 13 Familiar
8. 12 Back to You
8. 12 For You
8. 12 Lights Up
Adore You has one more week before ACR, unless it increases, so unfortunately it won't quite top the list, but still VERY impressive!!
Adore You is now joint 2nd for most top 40 weeks for a 1D solo single. It's avoided ACR again (!) so it should easily take the record for itself in 2 weeks' time!!
No Judgement also becomes a top 40 hit this week, up to #32 - Niall's fifth top 40.
Updated. Falling will go silver next week Adore You now MATCHES Strip That Down's top 40 weeks, and will overtake next week to become the longest running 1D solo single!!
'Kiwi' is one of my favourites, pleased to see that!
Updated for the last 2 weeks. Amazingly, Adore You's still got at least 3 more weeks before it hits ACR. It's currently on 18 weeks top 40, What Makes You Beautiful had 20. It's basically guaranteed to become the overall longest-running 1D hit
Updated. This Town is now platinum (600k)! Adore You's matched History's top 40 weeks.
The sales in the UK are really really low??
Its been 2 years since Strip That Down hit 948k and History is at 908k for 1 year and 2 months... the 1m mark will never come?
And congrats to Niall on his 2nd Platinum single. If TT is at 600k so Slow Hands is at 800k since its receiving more streams daily...
All that means is that we've not had any proper updates in that time. Strip That Down is certainly over 1m now and I expect History's not far off.
There's no way that Music Week has the info?
Not unless they reveal it in an article
Updated. Adore You's now matched WMYB as expected, it will take the record for most weeks top 40 next week
Black and White has been added to Niall's singles. While Watermelon Sugar still isn't confirmed as a Harry single, it's now passed 300k. Lights Up is just a few hundred off going gold
Updated. Adore You takes the record for most top 40 weeks, and Lights Up has been certified gold.
Added Watermelon Sugar to the singles statistics now it's officially been sent to radio.
The longevity of 'Adore You' is remarkable, especially compared to his other hits. I wonder what it was in particular that has kept it going so long, or has it just been lucky to avoid ACR at the right times?
'Falling' is having a nice Top 40 run too, should achieve a higher sale total than 'Lights Up' with some ease.
It's definitely had a stroke of luck to avoid ACR but nevertheless, I'm amazed it's ended up being the longest-running 1D top 40 hit! Would NEVER have called that, even without considering we're in the ACR era. It will eventually become his biggest seller overall, which is pretty remarkable
Updated! Adore You should be platinum next week It's swerved ACR again so it should extend its top 40 record by yet another 3 weeks *.*
Updated. Adore You's platinum, and had an increase in streams today so it's still got 3 more weeks before ACR Falling overtakes Lights Up to become Harry's second longest runner, and overtakes Watermelon Sugar to become his fourth biggest seller.
Updated. Watermelon Sugar's back in the top 40 already at #35! It's the 9th week it's spent in the top 40. Harry's top 40 weeks:
24 Adore You *
14 Falling *
12 Lights Up
10 Sign of the Times
09 Watermelon Sugar *
Adore You increased AGAIN so has another 3 weeks before ACR Falling on the other hand is off to ACR now, so this is likely to be its last top 40 week. Nevertheless, 14 weeks is insane!! Crazy to think as well that in a couple of weeks, Sign of the Times will be Harry's shortest-running hit who'd have called that?
Also I expect it's only going to take a couple of weeks for Adore You to overtake the last known figure for Sign of the Times! That's not a very recent figure but that must put it really close to overtaking its actual figure. I wish we had an update!
Updated! Adore You's one week off overtaking SOTT's last known total now. Watermelon Sugar is #17 in today's first look so we could be looking at a new peak next week!
Updated! A few things this week:
- Adore You has now outsold Sign of the Times' last known total. It'll probably take another couple of weeks at least for it to overtake what Sign of the Times is actually on but it's quite safe to say that Adore You's only a matter of time away from being his biggest seller.
- Watermelon Sugar has a new peak of #16. It should go gold next week.
- Watermelon Sugar's re-overtaken Falling's total sales. Falling should be gold within two weeks.
- Watermelon Sugar spending its 11th week top 40 means that Sign of the Times is now Harry's shortest-running top 40 hit....!!
source: my friend
Updated. Adore You's off to ACR now so 27 weeks will be all it gets in the top 40, but what an amazing outcome!!
Watermelon Sugar's gold, Falling will make it next week. Watermelon's now outsold the last known total for Lights Up - it won't have actually outsold it yet but it won't be long now until we can safely say it has. Two weeks max I'd say?
Aside: I've found Falling's artwork at last! *.*
948k in April 2018, so he added ~250k in 2 years.
Maybe Slow Hands is at 1m too and SOTT at 850-900k
^ Agreed, I think 'Slow Hands' is more or less a million seller too by now.
1 million for slow hands is brill, love the song.
SOTT was (and still is) selling better than Strip That Down and Slow Hands in these 2 years. So it is more than 900k for sure. You underestimate it.
Updated! Added Liam's new certification, and Falling's gone gold too. That means it's outsold the last known total we have for Lights Up - bear in mind Lights Up will be ahead still but I can only go by the totals I know, so the analysis post has Falling ahead. Nevertheless, it's clear Lights Up will soon be the lowest selling Fine Line single...!
Adore You will pass 700k next week. Sadly its 27-week run in the top 40 ended this week as it hit ACR. Watermelon Sugar climbs to #11 and is set for top 10 this coming week, while overtaking Lights Up's top 40 weeks (it now has 13).
Updated! Another exciting week in Harry chart news! Watermelon Sugar is of course the big story of the week, becoming Harry's fourth solo top 10. This pushes him into outright first place for most solo top 10s:
04 Harry
03 Zayn
02 Liam / Louis / Niall
It's already matched Adore You's peak, too. It's also matched Falling's top 40 weeks. It's certain at this point to become the 2nd longest-running solo top 40 hit:
27 Adore You
16 Strip That Down
15 PILLOWTALK
15 Slow Hands
14 I Don't Wanna Live Forever
14 Dusk Till Dawn
14 Falling
14 Watermelon Sugar *
13 Familiar
12 Back to You
12 For You
12 Lights Up
11 Just Hold On
10 Sign of the Times
Adore You itself has passed 700k sales.
Updated! Watermelon Sugar hits a new peak of #6, and will cross 500k next week. Not much else to report on this week!
Updated! Watermelon Sugar has crossed 500k and will be platinum in just a few weeks. It's also hit 16 weeks top 40, overtaking PILLOWTALK and Slow Hands, and matching Strip That Down to be the second longest running solo single. It's surely guaranteed to overtake the 20 weeks of WMYB at this point to become the second longest running 1D single!
From https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/ten-years-of-one-direction-10-chart-facts-you-probably-didnt-know-about-one-of-the-uks-most-loved-boybands__30301/:
Thanks Liam! Woop for those updates totals I didn't get my usual sales data for the current chart this week so I'll update the entire thread for the past 2 weeks + this new info over this weekend!
33 weeks have passed since we got the total of 1,342,127 for What Makes You Beautiful, and it's added roughly 88k. That means it sells around 2.7k a week. It'll go 3x platinum in March 2023 at this rate!
75 weeks have passed since the 907,913 total for History. It's added 132k roughly since then, on average 1.8k a week. It'll reach 2x plat in September 2023 at this rate.
Can't really say for Story of My Life, its last total of 700k comes from 2014...!
Midnight Memories passed 200k in January 2020. 25 weeks have passed since its certification and it's added 20k, meaning it adds 800 a week. It'll go gold in November 2024 *_*
TDKAU is huge.
History had 894k sales since their hiatus, acc to OCC.
Yeah that's since January 2016, which.... covers most of its chart life to be fair!
omg!!! I'm gonna dissect this info over the weekend but YESSS!!
4. Niall Horan -- Slow Hands :: 1,041k
HE DID THAT!!!!
but why louis' and aoki just hold on isnt on the list? its platinum certified (600k) and back to you had 400k units a long time ago.
I assume Just Hold On is an oversight on their part. I'd be shocked if Back to You had been missed, I don't think it would've sold THAT much.
acc to one direction's 10 years website, wmyb is 3x platinum in the uk
It's wrong, 3x plat is 1.8m sales
Updated for the past 2 weeks! Who's ready for a mega info post x
Watermelon Sugar has reached the top 5. It's the fifth longest-running 1D top 40 hit, and is all-but-guaranteed 2nd place.
I've included all the new sales above, and with confirmation that Midnight Memories is the lowest 1D seller on 220k, I've upgraded the sales for Gotta Be You and You & I to be 220k as a minimum too - they're likely above that of course!
PILLOWTALK was certified 2x plat on 30th August 2019. It's sold 61k in that time and 42 weeks have elapsed between then and mid-June. That means it sells just under 1.5k a week. June 2027 is when it's looking to go 3x plat...!
Slow Hands has sold 305.4k in ~116 weeks since April 2018, meaning it does about 2.6k a week! It'll hit 2x plat in September 2021.
Dusk Till Dawn has sold 336k in ~112 weeks (though that was a rounded figure so may be wrong), therefore doing 3k a week (which seems unusually high compared to PILLOWTALK, though Dusk does do better on Spotify). August 2021 for 2x plat.
Sign of the Times has sold 322k in ~119 weeks, so about 2.7k a week though I suspect it was doing lower than that until the Fine Line era began and is now selling at a higher rate. Nevertheless, using that figure, it's going to cross 1 million this October, and go 2x plat in March 2022.
I Don't Wanna Live Forever has sold 288.3k in ~135 weeks, so about 2.1k a week. January 2021 for 1 million, November 2022 for 2x plat.
The last total for Little Things is from 2014 so not much use for analysis, but it's selling faster than Best Song Ever and Steal My Girl.
Drag Me Down has also leapfrogged Best Song Ever and Steal My Girl, selling 302k in ~203 weeks, meaning about 1.5k is sold a week. 1m will be passed in October 2021, and 2x plat in May 2024.
Steal My Girl has sold 92.3k in the past 72 weeks, meaning 1.3k a week. January 2023 for 1m, January 2026 for 2x plat.
Perfect has overtaken Best Song Ever, adding 162k in ~160 weeks, so just over 1k a week. 1m in February 2025, December 2028 for 2x plat.
We had a Best Song Ever update last February, adding 102.4k in the 72 weeks since then, meaning 1.4k a week (so by the looks of things, it's closing the gap once again on Perfect which had overtaken it since the last update we got for that). January 2024 for 1m, October 2026 for 2x plat.
Night Changes got certified platinum 22 weeks before the update, selling 37k in that time, so 1.7k a week! August 2024 for 1m, December 2026 for 2x plat.
Similarly, For You went platinum in February, so in 19 weeks, it's sold 25k - 1.3k a week. Feb 2026 for 1m, January 2029 for 2x plat.
This Town went plat in April, selling 19k in 10 weeks so 1.9k a week. June 2025 for 1m, June 2027 for 2x plat.
One Way or Another is a VERY slow trickle seller. No full estimate as its old figure is from 2014, but only 56k added in almost 6 years! On the bright side, it's not that far off platinum now, hopefully it'll make it there before long.
Familiar has sold 163k in ~88 weeks, averaging 1.9k a week. December 2020 for platinum!

Thanks Joseph a v interesting read!
And some stabs in the dark on the rest. These are GUESSES and not really based on many facts, just comparisons to the songs around them and their increases.
Wouldn't be surprised if One Thing is nearing silver and Live While We're Young is nearing platinum at this point, they got their last certs quite a while ago and even with lesser increases than Little Things and Story of My Life, they'd be pretty close to their next certification. Kiss You could well be nearing platinum before long but I suspect it's not quite there yet, it took longer to reach gold than LWWY. I'm quite surprised it wasn't on more than 563k in the June update actually!
You & I and Gotta Be You are obviously over 220k, there's not a lot to go off on those but I expect You & I is over 300k at least.
I feel like it can't be too long before Two Ghosts goes silver? Kiwi and Sweet Creature both made it, and I expect Harry's entire debut album is streaming quite well on the whole, so surely a silver cert for Two Ghosts isn't that far away.
Polaroid could well go platinum within a year or so?
Louis is pretty much an unknown entity with Just Hold On overlooked from the above list, but it didn't pass 600k that long ago anyway. Back to You is more of an unknown but it must be comfortably over 500k.
Could imagine Too Much to Ask nearing gold before long for Niall? I'm really interested to see where On the Loose is at actually...! We still only have a week 1 sales figure for that.
LIKE I WOULD can't be far off gold, same for Cruel actually. Still Got Time should be over 500k.
thanks for all work.
btw, you forgot tp update WMYB to 1.43m on first page
I didn't realise Familiar had done well to the extent of coming close to platinum
I bet if the general public were asked to name the 3 members of One Direction that had a million chart seller, most would assume Harry was one of them! Won't be long until he joins Zayn, Liam and Niall, of course.
Watermelon Sugar platinum
Fabulous news!!
Updated! With a sixth week in the top 10, Watermelon Sugar passes Adore You's tally. It's just one week shy of Sign of the Times!
Watermelon Sugar's tied History's 19 weeks top 40! It's also Harry's third platinum single.
We also have a new tally for What Makes You Beautiful! It was on 1,418,000 in mid June, so in the ~7 weeks since then, it's sold 22,300 to make it to 1,440,300. That's 3.2k a week on average, though if we deduct the 5.7k it sold this week as it's a higher than usual tally thanks to the anniversary, that'd be 2.8k a week, which is more in line with what I posted on the previous page.
Updated! Falling sadly vacates the top 100, but we have a new peak for Watermelon Sugar - it's the first group or solo single to peak at #4 as things stand!
Watermelon Sugar also matches Sign of the Times' top 10 weeks, so it's guaranteed to become Harry's longest runner in the top 10. It's also matched WMYB's top 40 weeks, so it's now joint second only behind Adore You. It'll take 2nd place outright very easily of course - it's pretty much guaranteed to get a minimum of 23 before ACR (and at this rate, it'd stay top 40 on ACR too), so Adore You's record isn't safe!
Updated for the past 2 weeks. Watermelon Sugar's passed 700k, and with 4 weeks in the top 5, it's become his longest-running top 5 hit. As for top 10 weeks, it's Harry's outright longest, and the joint third-longest running 1D top 10 hit.
Most Top 10 Weeks
11 Dusk Till Dawn
10 Story of My Life
09 Strip That Down
09 Watermelon Sugar *
It also takes second place for most top 40 weeks out of all 1D hits too.
Most Top 40 Weeks
27 Adore You
22 Watermelon Sugar *
At least 2 more weeks before it goes to ACR, so I think it can tie Dusk Till Dawn's top 10 weeks but will need to increase (even a slight amount) either this week or next if it wants to take the record. As for top 40 weeks, even going to ACR won't push it out of the top 40 yet, so lasting 6 more weeks to take the outright record doesn't seem impossible at all!
Elsewhere, Adore You's over 800k and Falling will pass 500k next week.
Strip That Down having the 3rd highest total of weeks in the top 10 is a hate crime
Updated. Watermelon Sugar scores a 10th week top 10, bringing it tied with Story of My Life in second place for most weeks top 10. One more to tie Dusk Till Dawn in first - and incidentally, at this rate, it only has one more week on SCR too, so the record looks unlikely.
It's on week 23 in the top 40 though, just 4 more to match Adore You - even on ACR that still feels achievable!
Falling's passed 500k as well this week.
Updated! Watermelon Sugar matches Dusk Till Dawn's record for top 10 weeks but it's off to ACR now so it won't be taking the outright record sadly. It's just 3 weeks off matching Adore You's top 40 weeks record though, so that's still in sight!
Watermelon Sugar should overtake Adore You's total within weeks too!
!! That's amazing!
Updated! Watermelon Sugar ends its top 10 run now it's on ACR of course but still logs a 25th week top 40, now only 2 weeks behind Adore You's 27.
Watermelon Sugar is over 800k, and is looking to overtake Adore You's total sales potentially as soon as next week, or at the latest a week later.
Updated! Watermelon Sugar has now outsold Adore You, which has sadly ended its top 100 run after a huge 40 weeks.
Looking almost nailed on now that Watermelon will take the top 40 weeks record!
Updated! Watermelon Sugar matches Adore You's 27 weeks top 40, will definitely claim the record next week
Falling re-enters the top 100 as well this week, a rare occasion of it being higher than Adore You.
Updated! It's finally happened, Watermelon Sugar is the longest-running One Direction-related top 40 hit. It rises one place to spend its 28th week top 40 at #28 next week it'll cross 900k too!
Updated! Watermelon Sugar is now over 900k, will be the first 1D single to hit 30 weeks top 40 this week
Also added Zayn's Better which I forgot to include last week! His first charting song in over a year.
Also forgot to add that Back to You has gone platinum! That's 142 weeks to sell 200k, so it manages about 1.4k a week. Here's where it slots in among some other predictions I made before!
Will post a full update this weekend but Music Week have posted an article with some sales!!
Updated! Lights Up took 24 weeks to sell ~100k. Another 24 weeks takes us to early April, for its platinum certification!
Watermelon Sugar spends a 30th week top 40 too
Updated! Not much to say this week, business as usual for the Harry singles, Watermelon Sugar now just a few weeks away from one million.
Updated! Golden debuts at #44 this week, its sales just over 152,000 in total.
Watermelon Sugar's overtaken the last known total for Sign of the Times, though I expect the latter is now a "millionaire" but I don't have a figure to confirm that!
Thanks to the brilliant @https://twitter.com/TheHSCharts on Twitter (go follow them guys!), I've been directed to a Music Week article from 26th October which contains some Harry sales *.*
Updated! Golden hits the top 40 at #40, while Watermelon Sugar should cross 1m next week, Adore You 900k and Falling hopefully platinum.
No news on Two Ghosts yet but the BPI database hasn't updated for this week yet so hopefully it's silver now
‘They Don’t Know About Us’ is Silver! Seems an unusual first album track of Take Me Home to be certified given it is at the end of the album and doesn’t follow a single. Is it a fan fave?
Brilliant!! It is a fan fave, yes, and I assume Spotify playlists have helped it somewhat!
Two Ghosts is silver now too. meaning it sells less than 1743 a week but, on average, at least 872. Not very specific but I assume it's towards the middle of that section judging by the rate Sweet Creature sells at, so if it's roughly 1.3k, October 2023 is when we can expect gold. That's an incredibly rough figure though...!
Updated! Golden climbs to #36, and the last three Harry singles all hit a new landmark: Adore You 900k, Falling 600k (and therefore platinum) and excitingly, Watermelon Sugar 1 million!
Updated! Golden's up to #29 and Falling re-enters the top 100 again at #95. Watermelon Sugar could overtake the last known total for Sign of the Times soon, not long until it's officially his top seller.
Updated! Golden up to #27, and it'll cross 200k next week.
Watermelon Sugar's outsold the last Sign of the Times total, won't be his top seller yet but it's not going to be far off!
OWOA = huge
'One Way or Another' is averaging just under 600 copies a week, going by the last update in June.
Thrilled OWOA is finally at platinum! It sells veeeery slowly though - slower than Midnight Memories
Updated! Golden's progress has been halted by Christmas songs so it dips out of the top 40 for now, but at least it's officially silver. For the first time, every Harry single is officially certified!
Naughty List now enters at #58. Live Forever and Midnight are the only Liam singles not to chart.
560 copies a week on average for One Way or Another. At that rate, we're looking at August 2034 for when it crosses the 1 million mark and June 2041 for 2x platinum It's a slower seller than even Midnight Memories...!

523,198 Lights Up

^ its from last week or the week before?
The week before, w/e 10th December.
thanks liam!!
Nice to Meet Ya gold! In the 38 weeks since its last update of 285,400, it's sold at least 114,600. That'd make 3016 copies a week on average. At that rate, we'd be looking at platinum in April 2022.
Updated! Sadly Xmas songs are having a negative impact on Harry, as Golden could be looking to hit ACR next week, just as the Xmas songs will fade away and it'd have a chance of repeaking. Watermelon Sugar also drops out of the top 100 but it'll be back soon!
With the Lights Up total Liam posted, it's sold 22,017 in 7 weeks, averaging 3145 a week. June 2021 for its platinum cert, November 2023 for 1 million!
Liam's up to a new peak of #52 with Naughty List, putting it above the last known total for All I Want (For Christmas), which is a year old tbf.
Let's take a look at the updated estimations. We're still anticipating a Familiar platinum certification any time now...!

Updated for the last few weeks with new peaks for Naughty List and Golden! Sadly Treat People With Kindness misses out on a top 100 position due to the 3-track rule, just 18 sales behind Falling It would have been #80! Nonetheless, we have a total for it.
You & I has been certified gold! It's overtaken One Thing, so that's surely not far off either? Hopefully this also means Kiss You and Live While We're Young are inching their way to platinum...
A shame about Treat People with Kindness just missing out!
Niall's No Judgement is Silver, update OP.
Or you could ask nicely
I wasn't asking, just commenting.
Updated! Another week top 40 for Golden. Adore You's inching its way to 1m sales, just 30k left to go - should take ~5 weeks or so at this stage!
Vibez debuts at #50, Zayn's highest charting hit since Let You though it actually sold less than Better did in week 1.
Updated! Vibez nabs a second week top 100. Not much else going on this week, Falling and Golden will cross 700k and 300k respectively in a couple of weeks' time but that's about it for now!
Updated! Golden will easily pass 300k next week. It's got just one more week before ACR (again) most likely.
Updated! Falling crosses 700k and Golden 300k Watermelon Sugar rebounds to #44 as loads of its physicals have finally shipped. Adore You will cross 1m in two weeks max!
Definitely would've expected a Familiar platinum cert by now, seems like it's not selling as much as expected each week.
Updated! Watermelon Sugar crept back into the top 40 thanks to more physicals being shipped this week - there's still one vinyl format of mine that has yet to ship so maybe another boost down the line? It'll cross the 2x Plat mark within a couple of weeks nonetheless!
Adore You meanwhile is tantalisingly close to 1m, it'll get there within the next week with ease
Updated!
It took 199 weeks for Kiss You to go from gold to platinum, so about 1005 sales a week on average. October 2028 for 1 million, August 2032 for 2x plat! Live While We're Young must be selling a *LOT* slower as it was on 420k a whole three years before Kiss You reached gold and it's still not at platinum yet oops.
Elsewhere, Adore You is finally over 1m Harry matches 1D's total of 3 million sellers (as things stand) which is pretty impressive, and he makes up 3 of the 7 million sellers from their solo singles. Expect Watermelon Sugar to reach 2x plat next week well on its way to becoming the biggest solo single (and biggest 1D-related single overall after that)
Top 10 best-selling One Direction solo singles (based on most recent available data)
01 1,261,000 PILLOWTALK [01]
02 1,201,000 Strip That Down [03]
03 1,196,700 Watermelon Sugar [04]
04 1,041,000 Slow Hands [07]
05 1,036,700 Sign of the Times [01]

09 0,722,100 Falling [15]
10 0,625,000 For You [08]
Would expect Sign of the Times to be in 4th place now!
Watermenlon sugar feels way bigger than strip that down and pillowtalk, i know they have the advantage of longer availability and watermelon sugar will clearly pull away.
Updated! Watermelon Sugar, aside from being 2x plat, has also spent 52 weeks (non-consecutively) in the chart
Updated for the past 2 weeks! Not much to note though. Golden's on its way to gold but not just yet.
From Music Week:
Updated! 74,476 in 5 months for Sign of the Times, that's 3546 a week on average, slightly higher than my previous estimate. Really impressed at how well that's selling these days! 2x plat not a million miles away, when it felt like 1m took ages to happen
Updated! Not much to report each week right now so I'll only comment here when there's something notable but I'll continue updating page 1 each weekend.
Sweet Creature is gold!!
Watermelon Sugar has passed 1.3m now, and Golden is just over 100 copies off gold...!
Appropriately Golden is now gold and Falling will cross 800k within the next week
Infinity silver
Ooh fabulous!! That makes 3 non-singles to make silver, I expect in time we'll have quite a few making it!
and Falling is now over 800k
Our Song debuted at #22 and sold 14,998 acc to MW;
Yes, I'm hoping for extra sales info before I update the opening page of this thread (including total sales for What a Time)
Updated with Niall's two new chart hits. What a Time belatedly debuts at #71 thanks to TikTok and has total sales of 168,200. Our Song has peaked at #22 so far.
Elsewhere, Watermelon Sugar has been reset to SCR - a likely top 40 return is on the cards
So, What A Time will go SILVER this year.
Familiar is now PLATINUM (600k);
At last, that one's been a LONG time coming! Will do a more accurate estimation of its weekly sales over the weekend to see how fast it's really been selling.
Our Song reaches the top 20 this week at #18, becoming Niall's outright third highest peaker and his first top 20 hit in four years! Sadly What a Time is out of the chart and I never got sales for last week so no new total for that.
Watermelon Sugar crosses 1.4m and has spent another 2 weeks in the top 40, with it still being guaranteed at least 3 more weeks before ACR beckons again *_* at this rate, it's really not far behind the last total we had for What Makes You Beautiful from last August. Of course, WMYB will be higher than 1,440,300 now, but Watermelon Sugar is hot on its heels and is set to overtake really quite soon.
As for Familiar, its last total was 563,000 in mid-June 2020. That's pretty much exactly a year ago, and it's taken a whole 6 months longer than I thought to go platinum...! In 53 weeks, it's sold 37,000, so roughly 698 copies a week. Quite a weak trickle seller unfortunately. The next milestone would of course be 1m, but that's not gonna happen for exactly 11 years - June 2032
One Direction - Little Things
Released: 2012
Chart sales: 1.05 million
Ed Sheeran's first Top 10 single writing for another act was a biggie - Little Things was only the second Ed-penned track not recorded by him, and was taken all the way to the Official Chart top spot by One Direction. The much-publicised penning did a lot for Ed's career (and 1D's) and resulted in 542,000 downloads and 59.3 million streams to date.
From OCC

Amazing!! I assume Drag Me Down isn't far off too
1 year with no updates too
After an extra 5 weeks in the top 40, Watermelon Sugar is back off to ACR next week! It's now ahead of the last known total for WMYB, but of course it won't have overtaken quiiiite yet.
re. Little Things, I didn't have a specific estimate for when it would hit 1m but it's (VERY roughly) sold 141,000 in 13 months / 56 weeks. That's 2,500-ish a week. Though Drag Me Down wasn't far behind on the last update, that seemed to be selling at a much slower rate, and I'd anticipated it would cross 1m in October this year so there could be a bit of a wait for that one still.
80k sold since Dec.
"Olivia" is now certified Silver in the UK.
What A Time too
First post updated. Our Song is back to 0 weeks of decline so it should be good for another 3 top 40 weeks!
34 weeks have elapsed since Lights Up and it's sold roughly 76,802, so that's 2259 copies a week roughly.
The Grammy and BRIT-winning single Watermelon Sugar has racked up 1,481,542 chart sales, according to the Official Charts Company. It peaked at No.4 in the UK and made No.1 in the US Hot 100.

One Thing gold!!
I'm...
The last update we had for One Thing was a whole six years ago, and was sales only, when it was on 230,000. It's taken quite a while to reach gold so I'm not sure it's selling very quickly anyway but it's good to have a more up to date figure nonetheless.
Now all bar two of their singles are at least gold! Just Gotta Be You and Midnight Memories to go (and Wishing on a Star but we can ignore that)
Elsewhere, Watermelon Sugar will cross 1.5m next week!! Our Song will be silver then too.
Our Song silver!
Also this week, Watermelon Sugar becomes the first 1D related single to cross 1.5m (that we know of - WMYB hasn't had an update in over a year so we don't really know what that's on these days).
It's all relative to be fair - 1D were around just as streaming was taking off and their initial young fanbase are now the people who primarily use streaming services. Not to mention they had huge international success, accelerated by social media, and many Spotify playlists are geared towards the US, hence why a song like One Thing can add a lot more than Emma Bunton's solo music, considering it was actually a reasonable hit over there.
Relatively speaking, One Thing is selling rather slowly - most other 1D singles are selling at a much faster pace!
"selling"
I mean, yes, they're still considered to be "chart sales" - it's just a term even if the meaning's changed somewhat
Our Song moves to ACR this week, it did well to get 13 weeks top 40! Only Slow Hands spent longer there out of Niall's solo music (15 weeks).
LWWY is now PLATINUM.
YAAAAY!!! About time!!
+180k sold since 2016.
One Direction's PLATINUM singles in the UK: 11
What Makes You Beautiful
Live While We're Young
Little Things
One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)
Best Song Ever
Story of My Life
Steal My Girl
Night Changes
Drag Me Down
Perfect
History
Slow Hands was also certified as 2x Platinum.
Roughly 63 weeks since the last Slow Hands update of 1,041,000 in mid-June 2020, so that's around 159,000 sold, an average of 2524 sales a week. Pretty consistent with my last estimate - I had Slow Hands crossing 2x plat in Sept 2021 and this week's chart date is 2nd Sept!
(on that note, Dusk Till Dawn must be close now to 2x plat, and the next one after that will be 2x plat for Sign of the Times, aside from any potential album tracks reaching silver)
2xP for SOTT, 89k sold since March
Dusk Till Dawn also 2x plat!
Updated for the past 2 weeks. With SOTT and Dusk Till Dawn crossing 2x plat, I thought it might be a good idea to look at the top 10 biggest selling solo singles. Most recent sales figures are listed and the date they come from is in square brackets.
01 1,541,400 Watermelon Sugar [16/09/2021]
02 1,261,000 PILLOWTALK [06/2020]
03 1,201,000 Strip That Down [06/2020]

09 0,844,800 Falling [01/07/2021]
10 0,625,000 For You [06/2020]
Any song can be certified!
For the first week since the chart broadcast on 4th October (the week before Nice to Meet Ya debuted and 2 weeks before Lights Up), there are no songs charting by 1D members right now!
We've got our first Falling update in a few months, it's over 900k! Another million "seller" not far off
No Control was quietly certified silver last week too! Another certified album track
Polaroid is now Platinum. 600k
Waiting for Walls certification now... its time!!
That's good going! Taken just two years to go from gold to platinum. It's Liam's fourth platinum single, only Harry (5) has more.
I'd say it's more likely that Sign of the Times will overtake them all at some point! (Watermelon Sugar aside of course)
Story of My Life 2x Platinum, 200k sold in 1 year...
1.2m
I'm sure DMD has crossed 1.1m but there's no updates.
Great news!! That means it's overtaken History to be their 2nd biggest hit (though History's 2x plat can't be far off)
As far as Drag Me Down goes, I'd estimated that would've passed 1m this month. I'm not sure I quite see it being as high as 1.1m just yet!
To expand on the Story of My Life figure, it's sold 200,000 in the last 66 weeks. That's an average of 3030 sales a week (very roughly speaking). At this rate, 3x platinum will be in August 2025
Elsewhere, Watermelon Sugar re-enters the top 100 thanks to Strictly *.* It'll cross 1.6m next week!
Niall's "Too Much To Ask" was certified as GOLD.
400k
Too Much to Ask went silver on 30th March 2018. In 192 weeks, it's sold 200,000, so ~1041 copies a week. August 2025 for platinum at that rate, not too bad for a song that didn't feel huge at the time.
It's also Niall's 4th biggest seller still, for the time being, but Our Song will overtake before long.
no updates on everywhere?
Updated for the first time in a few weeks - not much to say really as Watermelon Sugar is the only updated sales figure. Lacking info for a few weeks now so no news on Everywhere. Naughty List re-entered last week but again, no new sales figure for it sadly.
Kiwi went GOLD. 400k
The impact!!
Fine Line track went SILVER. 200k
He did that with a 6 minute album closer
Updated - Watermelon Sugar's over 1.7m now and Falling crossed 1m last week!
...and She is now silver too!
254k for 'Gotta Be You'.
https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/forgotten-second-singles-did-these-follow-ups-deserve-better__35281/
History is 2x Plat
From Music Week:
Adore You sold 63k since Dec.
Watermelon 43k since Feb.
Falling sold 31k since feb.
Updated the first page - Gotta Be You has sold less than 34k in the last ~2 years
Zayn's Let Me went silver last week too. I don't think anything else of his is even remotely close to silver unless there's something that's a surprisingly good trickle seller.
since 2016 without news on drag me down
^ the figure in the post is actually from June 2020, I forgot to change the date. Should be over 1m now anyway!
Our Song is gold
And Golden plat!!
and in an exciting day for certifications, Sunflower, Vol. 6 is silver!
UK Singles Sales
Harry Styles 10,260,395
Niall Horan 4,516,699
Louis Tomlinson 1,328,389
Overall consumption of One Direction tracks stood at 20,880,141 in the UK.
Updated! Lots of new Harry info this week. Obviously As It Was debuted at #1 on sales of 94,140 and Watermelon Sugar re-entered the top 100 (it was SO close to another ACR reset haha). That and SOTT have new totals courtesy of Music Week, and there are new rounded figures for Falling, Adore You and Golden (the latter has outsold the last known total of 600k for Lights Up, though that was last summer so Lights Up will still be ahead for the time being. It's obviously selling less at a weekly rate than Golden though).
From The Dining Table now SILVER;
Does anyone know Treat People With Kindness overall sales - has it past 100k?
"Watermelon Sugar" 3x Platinum in the UK for selling over 1.8 million units.
Nothing for TPWK I'm afraid, I wish I knew a more up-to-date figure for it! I assume it is over 100k though, especially with a chunk of the Fine Line album tracks now over 200k. It'll go silver eventually but one of the last on the album to get there I sadly expect.
293,789 for As It Was so far in its 4 weeks at #1! The first 1D-related chart-topper to spend more than a week at the top.
Updated! Lots of info over the past week so a quick summary:

All of Harry's House would've charted in the top 17 without the three-track rule this week. He's become the third artist to have 3 songs in the top 3, following Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran.
Adore You will overtake Sign of the Times before long, and Golden's well on its way to leapfrogging Lights Up (but good to have a new total for that!).
From OCC:
That's a couple of years out of date - History and Story of My Life are both 2x platinum now and They Don't Know About Us is silver!
^
They never update 1D stats, and now they update us with old sales
As It Was now Platinum (600k)
News:
One Direction's "Night Changes" is charting inside iTunes Top 100 of UK, US, Canada and Australia:
#56 United States (+9)
#83 Australia (NE)
#90 United Kingdom (NE)
#97 Canada (NE)
Almost 1m daily plays on Spotify WW.
Harry's Late Night Talking is now SILVER in the UK for selling over 200,000 units.
Carolina is also silver!
Finally given this an update! As It Was has been top 10 (and top 3 in fact) for 13 weeks - more than any 1D related song, the previous record holders being Dusk Till Dawn and Watermelon Sugar on 11 weeks each.
Late Night Talking has spent 6 weeks top 10, the fourth most of any Harry song (still yet to be confirmed as the 2nd single in the UK but surely only a matter of time).
Plenty of sales figures (including an update on every Harry's House track) from a couple of weeks ago.
'As It Was' sales (OCC):
Harry's 'Music For A Sushi Restaurant' is now SILVER in the UK for selling over 200,000 units.
Updated! To Be So Lonely went silver a couple of weeks ago, leaving just Canyon Moon and TPWK uncertified from Fine Line.
As It Was is now over 1m but I'll wait until Friday's updated figure to add that here.
From this week's sales report:
As It Was 37,336 (1,070,784 total)
Nice to see 'Matilda' entering the midweeks now 'Music for a Sushi Restaurant' has gone to ACR and slipped behind. It was a standout when I listened to the album.
Matilda is now silver
As It Was - 2xP
What Makes You Beautiful - 3xP (+400k in 2 years)
What Makes You Beautiful 1,811,431
Watermelon Sugar 6,736 (2,009,975 total)
WMYB has done 11,431 maximum in the 3 weeks since its 3x platinum certification, meaning 3,811 weekly sales at most.
Given the thread an update - Black and White by Niall has impressively gone silver recently too! Not bad for a #91 hit.
TPWK finally silver!!!
Watermelon Sugar 2,016,960
Adore You 1,421,894
As It Was 1,314,991
Falling 1,189,016

Incredible sales for those Harry singles.
Daylight has gone silver!
Uncertified Harry songs:
Meet Me in the Hallway
Only Angel
Ever Since New York
Woman
Canyon Moon
Little Freak
Grapejuice
Cinema
Satellite
Keep Driving
Daydreaming
Love of My Life
Boyfriends
Girl Crush (Spotify exclusive)
I expect Canyon Moon won't be far off now to complete the set for Fine Line, while all of the Harry's House songs are very much on their way. Intrigued to see what's next from HS1!
From Music Week's October edition magazine (sales to w/e 15th September going by other figures in the magazine):
Back to You 659,547
Just Hold On 665,869
Walls 70,483
I’m a bit surprised that those two singles are on such similar figures! To me, Just Hold On felt quite a lot bigger than Back to You while charting. I guess Back to You must do better on streaming in recent years.
Falling is now 2x Platinum!
And Meet Me in the Hallway is silver!
Little Freak silver!
slow hands #7 peak and 1.3m sales with 127m streams
strip that down #3 peak with same sales numbers but 131m streams
so slow hands is bigger
There's a Louis trivia quiz on the OCC site which reveals some sales data! Two of Us is on 142,000 but Miss You is still his third biggest track so it's above that.
One Direction's "Little Things" is now 2x PLATINUM in the UK for selling over 1.2 million units.
Music For a Sushi Restaurant' is now GOLD (400,000)
satellite is silver too
Harry's Woman is SILVER too.

Canyon Moon is silver, completing the set for Fine Line!!!
Updated! Unfortunately my regular sales source has dried up so I don't have anything recent for Heaven, if anyone has an estimate that'd be great.
So many Harry songs certified. In fact, it's only Ever Since New York (surprised this is the lowest selling from HS1), Daydreaming, Love of My Life (this hasn't actually been certified silver yet sadly) and Boyfriends that haven't got a certification
Heaven is at 115k
Music Week article in Feb. 23:
As It Was 1,729,679
since then, it went back to OCC Top 10 so we had:
7- 28,329
6- 24,366
8- 22,790
9- 23,152
8- 22,324
8- 21,854
9- 22,204
7- 22,989
6- 22,348
8- 21,477
= 231,833
So As It Was is at 1,961,512
Thanks! Updated the first post. As It Was on track to cross 2m this week!!
18 is now GOLD.
Matilda is now GOLD. (400k)
And Daydreaming silver!
Heaven is SILVER. 200k
Updated! Late Night Talking now up to 4th for most top 40 weeks, and Satellite's added to Harry's top 40 tally, giving him five top 40s from Harry's House.
Meltdown is Niall's lowest-charting pre-album single unfortunately, though Heaven's performed consistently, perhaps a top 40 return is on the cards with the album's release?
What Makes You Beautiful +129k since Sept. 2022
Story of My Life +230k since Oct. 2021
History +100k since Mar. 2022
Little Things 50k+ Dec. 2022
Drag Me Down +278k since June 2020
Night Changes in June 2020 had 620k while Best Song Ever had 745k, Night Changes is ahead so both crossed 800k
Steal My Girl had 831k too, maybe its almost million-seller after 3 years.
Perfect had 762k in June 2020, maybe at 900k as well
Surprised that Our Song is behind Nice to Meet Ya, albeit only by 3k!
Fabulous to have so much new sales info! Amazing for What a Time to be in Niall's top 5 with such a low peak.
Slow Hands 100k+ since Nov. 2022
This Town 367k+ since Jun. 2020
Nice to Meet Ya 135k+ since Dec. 2020
Our Song 132k+ since Apr. 2022
What A Time 45k+ since Dec. 2022
What A Time only spent 3 weeks charting and did so good!! His collabs sold well.
I guess No Judgement and Too Much To Ask have 300k+
Updated! Would love to have some updated totals for Night Changes and Best Song Ever now they've overtaken Perfect, the former in particular as it's had a TikTok moment.
