July 3, 201015 yr Go Cheryl. It'cho burfday. Well, it was on Wednesday. :P But that's srsly amazing for her anyway, and a runaway victory from the highest selling solo (excluding featured credits) single! :D Ooh, also AMUZZ for 'When Love Takes Over'! I never knew it'd sold that much! :o :wub: Edited July 3, 201015 yr by Theo Commander
July 3, 201015 yr Author Great suggestion, I think finding her singles sales might be a bit of a challenge though!
July 3, 201015 yr Would people like Rachel Stevens and Lisa Scott-Lee be considered? Although they weren't in girlgroups - they are still girls who were in groups who went solo. (I surpose though in that right, then Gwen Steffani and Fergie should also be considered?) It's strange how Beyoncé dominates that list but only 4th highest and her highest selling singles have been in her 3rd album era. But YAH! For Cheryl, I hope Fight For This Love can make it to 900,000 before the end of the year
July 3, 201015 yr How about Susanna Hoffs - made at least three pretty good pop singles after being part of several classics when in the Bangles
July 3, 201015 yr Do Jade Ewen's 2 solo singles before Sugababes count? Edited July 3, 201015 yr by Flamingo
July 3, 201015 yr And Belinda Carisle too who was in the Go-Go's! And Siobhan Donaghy from Sugababes :lol:
July 3, 201015 yr Thanks very much for doing this, it's been very helpful with finding sales for the Destiny's Child forum! ^_^
July 3, 201015 yr What about Diana Ross? Surely she has to count? :unsure: That's what I was thinking..
July 4, 201015 yr 19,000 - Melanie C - Next Best Superstar (#10) OUCH :lol: Shame because I really liked that song too.
July 4, 201015 yr Cheryl cole is the ultimate solo success from a group :) Not really. She may have the top single, but there are others who have been more successful overall. Beyoncé for example, (:kink:) she's on the chart a lot, and in the top end, several times. Cheryl's only got 2 songs in the Top 20, just like Kelly Rowland. Melanie C has 3, Geri Halliwell has 4 and Beyoncé has 7. I think that Beyoncé quite possibly holds that title. But then again, some icons aren't included in the list (e.g. Diana Ross), so she's probably not.
