August 30, 201014 yr Obviously Bing Crosby will not be included in this list, but the likely number 101 is Kylie & Jason closely follow by Little Jimmy Osmond.
August 30, 201014 yr Nice to see the recent mid-90's sale adjustments didn't deny Whigfield her million seller. Didn't realise some of these had passed the million, glad ABBA finally got their million seller - the list was worrying before when they were absent from it.
August 30, 201014 yr I'm surprised Peter Andre Mysterious girl isnt in the list, unless its at 101 We have something to be thankful for in that case! :lol: By the way doesn't Tony sound good? A good choice to replace Dale Winton!
August 30, 201014 yr We have something to be thankful for in that case! :lol: By the way doesn't Tony sound good? A good choice to replace Dale Winton! Never been a big fan of TB doing count downs, Mark Goodier would have been brilliant.
August 30, 201014 yr I haven't listened to this Gareth Gates song since it was out :lol: I don't hate it as much as I recall :drama:

August 30, 201014 yr Author Tony Blackburn said that 'Is This The Way To Amarillo', (No.53), was a 'Re-recording' of the 1971 Hit. In fact, it is 100% the same Hit as in 1971. Peter Kay only appears in the 2005 Video - and even then he only moves his lips to the Song. He does not sing a note on the actual 2005 No.1. For some reason, the 2005 Single credits both him & Tony Christie - making many people think that he Sings on it.
August 30, 201014 yr Nice to see the recent mid-90's sale adjustments didn't deny Whigfield her million seller. Didn't realise some of these had passed the million, glad ABBA finally got their million seller - the list was worrying before when they were absent from it. looks like the early/mid 90s sales downgrades have been completely reversed - Think Twice and Gangsta Paradise both much higher than I expected - be interesting to see where Wet Wet Wet and Robson and Jerome end up!

I have a version of it from an ancient compilation and it's not exactly the same as the version released in 2005, definitely sounds different and more dated/his vocals sound slightly different. Did they not polish the production a bit and have Tony re-record the vocals for the re-release? Peter Kay shouldn't have been credited on the re-release though, because indeed, he has nothing at all to do with it apart from featuring in the video. They could have put a sticker on the front of the CD single saying 'with the video featuring Peter Kay'.

Britney Spears- Baby One More Time Edited August 30, 201014 yr by chart wizard
August 30, 201014 yr Both 96 and 98 version of Three Lions sales have been combined which is wrong as they both have different words and therefore a different song.
August 30, 201014 yr But surely both versions weren't counted together back in 2002? So why now? Anyway this probably suggest that Mysterious Girl is the million seller at 101 as that was the same song.
August 30, 201014 yr Where on earth did Three Lions come from to make it on this list? I'm sure I've never seen it on the million sellers list. Surely they;re not counting re-issues like Three Lions 98 and 2010 - they're different recordings and artists!

Surely they;re not counting re-issues like Three Lions 98 and 2010 - they're different recordings and artists! The 2010 version won't have counted as it was a completely different recording but they combined the B, S & LS versions in the weekly chart in the summer so they've obviously decided to do the same here.
August 30, 201014 yr I'm pretty sure this top 100 doesn't include all the singles that have sold 1 million copies. 'Sex on Fire' was the 101st million seller so it must have pushed out another song to have made the top 100! Perhaps Mysterious Girl?
