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

When would Mariah Carey fit in here if it claimed this year Christmas number one? 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.
