Posted by: liamk97 24th February 2016, 10:39 AM
1 NEVER EVER 1 1997
2 PURE SHORES 1 2000
3 UNDER THE BRIDGE/LADY MARMALADE 1 1998
4 BLACK COFFEE 1 2000
5 BOOTIE CALL 1 1998

8 ROCK STEADY 3 2006
9 ALL HOOKED UP 7 2001
10 CHICK FIT n/a 2006
It was with second single Never Ever that things really got going. The slick ballad spent eight weeks in the Top 10 before finally grabbing the top spot in January 1998, their first Number 1. Never Ever spent a whopping 15 weeks in the Top 10 alone, and is a million-seller – over 1.35 million copies sold so far.
Their debut album was popular too – over 1.46 million of you took that one home.

I really thought Pure Shores was their biggest seller. Those top two singles are flawless.

This!
Posted by: liamk97 24th February 2016, 10:50 AM
'Pure Shores' should be above 800k now, 'Under the Bridge' at 440k+, 'Bootie Call' and 'Black Coffee' at 240k+, 'War of Nerves' at 180k+, 'I Know Where It's At' at 160k+, 'Rock Steady' just below 100k and 'All Hooked Up' at 50k+.

Pure Shores was lovely.
Posted by: 🌚🌚🌚 24th February 2016, 11:46 AM
just look at that top 10 will ya 💕
but yeh also thought pure shores woulda been their biggest selling
Posted by: mr_pmt 24th February 2016, 11:47 AM
I always thought it was obvious 'Never Ever' was their biggest hit.
'Black Coffee' remains their best for me, but they have some formidable tunes there!
Posted by: liamk97 24th February 2016, 11:47 AM
I think 'Never Ever' is in fact the best selling song by girl band too. Both are excellent but I think 'Pure Shores' edges it for me.
Posted by: Virginia's Walls 24th February 2016, 11:49 AM
Black Coffee should be 3. It goes on a bit but is amazing and smashed alongside Holler and Destiny's Child and solo Spices in 2000, it fitted the year perfectly.
Posted by: JosephStyles 24th February 2016, 11:53 AM
Rock Steady is offensively low 
Posted by: Defaze 24th February 2016, 11:58 AM
Not a huge fan of 'Never Ever', but 'Pure Shores' is incredible. I've always had a soft spot for it, but hearing it consistently in GTAV has properly reignited my love for it.
Posted by: casey__ 24th February 2016, 11:58 AM
'Bootie Call' should be top three 
Incredible collection of singles though. 'Pure Shores' still being on of my favourite songs, ever.
Posted by: Colm 24th February 2016, 12:02 PM
2006 sales
Posted by: mr_pmt 24th February 2016, 04:31 PM
I do find it a bit errr how 'War Of Nerves' is higher than 'Rock Steady', but I gather that was released in quite late 1998 and had a bumper first week sales for a #7?
Posted by: Ne Plus Ultra 24th February 2016, 04:50 PM
Correct - "War Of Nerves" sold 54,000 copies in its' first week - higher than the first week sales of I Know Where It's At & Never Ever!
Posted by: 🌚🌚🌚 24th February 2016, 05:00 PM
I've always loved their titles. War of nerves 💕
Posted by: Euphorique 24th February 2016, 05:54 PM
All Hooked Up, Bootie Call and Black Coffee <3 Also Rock Steady was a great comeback, shame that Chick Fit was such a misstep...
Posted by: Ethan 24th February 2016, 06:48 PM
Never Ever 3-5-6-5-4-4-4-2-1-2-2-4-5-3-7-
Pure Shores 1-1-2-3-7-9-
sales at the end 1997 were at their absolute zenith ~ so much so that when 'never ever' reached #1, in its 9th week, it was the first time its weekly sales had dropped below 80k~
Posted by: Acidburn 24th February 2016, 08:03 PM
That top 2 are definitely their best, although swap Black Coffee with Under The Bridge, then it would be a perfect top 3. Also surprised that "War Of Nerves" is that high, surprising that the lowest peaking single from their debut, beats their first single, "I Know Where It's At" (still love).
Shame that "Rock Steady" didn't sell more than it did. I thought that it was a fantastic comeback single, okay it doesn't have the same magic as some of their earlier hits had, but pretty damn close. Anyway this is how I'd rank their songs =
Never Ever
Pure Shores
Black Coffee
Under The Bridge
Rock Steady
I Know Where It's At
Bootie Call
Lady Marmalade
All Hooked Up
War Of Nerves
Chick Fit
Posted by: Mango 25th February 2016, 12:31 AM
Don't those two statements contradict each other? Did Never Ever really manage >80k per week for the first 8 weeks of its chart life? Pretty amazing if so!
Posted by: andeeeeyhart 25th February 2016, 12:36 AM
I remember being so gutted when War Of Nerves only got to #7. But then I was stanning for them pretty hard back then...
Posted by: sammy01 25th February 2016, 12:36 AM
Am I the only person who is/was bored to tears by Pure Shores, such a non event of a song.
Posted by: mr_pmt 25th February 2016, 12:44 AM
Probably.
Posted by: JCM20 25th February 2016, 01:16 AM
Nope, I think it's still just behind Wannabe.
Posted by: Ja˙ 25th February 2016, 01:33 AM
Wannabe was said to be on 1,360,000 as of last August. It's always been a close run thing between it & Never Ever! Definitely the ultimate two singles by British girl groups.
A shame about the low position of Rock Steady, for me it's in their Top 5 best for sure.
Posted by: Virginia's Walls 25th February 2016, 10:57 AM
Chick Flick eas sooo bad
Posted by: dandy* 25th February 2016, 07:45 PM
This thread has reminded me just how much I adore Black Coffee, I'm going to have to dig that out now as I haven't listened to it in years.
Posted by: popchartfreak 25th February 2016, 08:25 PM

No surprise to see Never Ever on top with 1.37m sales and 10.5m streams, but how did the rest of their hits fare?
Pure Shores finishes second place with 824,000 sales, but is in fact their most streamed song with 13m plays. At the lower end, 2016 comeback track One Strike sneaks in at Number 10 and is their third most streamed single to date.
TITLE PEAK POSITION YEAR
1 NEVER EVER 1 1997 1,475,000
2 PURE SHORES 1 2000 954,000
3 UNDER THE BRIDGE/LADY MARMALADE 1 1998
4 BLACK COFFEE 1 2000
5 BOOTIE CALL 1 1998
6 WAR OF NERVES 7 1998
7 I KNOW WHERE IT'S AT 4 1997
8 ROCK STEADY 3 2006
9 ALL HOOKED UP 7 2001
10 ONE STRIKE NA 2016

Pure shores 103000 downloads since the end of 2009 but 130000 ses since 2014....
Posted by: ThePensmith 25th July 2018, 09:40 PM
Good to see Black Coffee rise to their fourth best seller since they last did this list when Red Flag came out. Wouldn't be surprised if One Strike overtakes All Hooked Up eventually as it still gets a fair amount of Spotify action.

War of nerves is gorgeous
Posted by: Mervatron 26th July 2018, 12:39 PM
Pure shores is my fav. It's their one song I keep streaming.
Also love Surrender as an album track.
Posted by: pippa 26th July 2018, 03:46 PM
Pure Shores is their best single.
Posted by: PINKFUNQ 26th July 2018, 08:32 PM
Agreed. Very underrated song!
Posted by: Queef of Skreech 26th July 2018, 08:35 PM
Also love Surrender as an album track.
My fave album track of theirs!!
Pure Shores and Black Coffee, two back-to-back pinnacle no.1s, are their best.
Listening to War of Nerves for first time since I was like 14, as I hated it then. Omg my tastes have definitely matured into this!
