October 14, 201014 yr Does anyone think love the way you lie will become the first million selling single of the 2010s decade? I'd place my bets on it. The only thing I can see beating it would be due to the the Christmas chart battle, where the X Factor might top 1 million, or some random song like Surfin' Bird could (although I guess that wouldn't count, since it was released before the decade began). Love the Way You Lie will probably sell 1 million during 2011. No current song will be able to do it faster, and it's very unlikely any song released in the future will be able to do it in under, say, 50 weeks, unless the next Black Eyed Peas tune is absolutely huge or something.
October 21, 201014 yr So that top 100 with all the sales last page is correct?? Blimey....didn't expect Three Lions to be so high :o
October 31, 201014 yr Is Oasis's Wonderwall the only confirmed million selling single from an album that has sold 3 million? Looking at the list Wannabe from Spice might be the other closest candidate as Spice was hovering around 2.9m last figure I saw.
October 31, 201014 yr Bleeding Love should definitely pass the million this week or next week - we just need to hope the OCC remember to confirm it :P

Looking at the list Wannabe from Spice might be the other closest candidate as Spice was hovering around 2.9m last figure I saw. But 2 Become 1 sold a million and Say You'll Be There is 950k+ (I think). Its great for an Indie band from the 90s to have sold a million of a single tbh, acts like Oasis and Blur were generally huge selling album artists not just single sellers. Look at James Blunt, Dido and David Gray as well - all huge albums, no massive (in million selling anyway) single (yes I know You're Beautiful was huge, but the sales were not stellar considering).
October 31, 201014 yr But 2 Become 1 sold a million and Say You'll Be There is 950k+ (I think). It's whether the album Spice has sold 3m, as Wannabe is a confirmed 1m seller, as is 2 Become 1 (good spot).
October 31, 201014 yr I doubt Spice has sold 3m - it's official sale to 14/06/09 was 2,928,739. That figure is from the OCC who had previously listed the album as selling 2,920,669 to October 31, 2006. As it had sold just over 8,000 copies in almost three years I doubt it has sold many copies in the past 16 months - certainly not the 71,261 copies it needs to pass 3 million sales!
October 31, 201014 yr now bleeding love will get to a million this week after matt cardle's cover of it on the x factor

Thought it might have got a boost ffrom the Spice Girls reunion tour to take it over 3m.
November 2, 201014 yr So that top 100 with all the sales last page is correct?? Blimey....didn't expect Three Lions to be so high :o how about ABBA's Dancing Queen, from ABBA: GOLD...or is that cheating!?? ;) (same with Bohemian Rhapsosy from Quee's Greatest Hits. Both mega selling albums selling over 4 million each, with a track on it selling over a million.

November 8, 201014 yr Awwwww thanks for the info bleeding love sold 1,000,534 such a great song congrats leona :D
November 8, 201014 yr well done Leona, deserved. Just need Run to get a million one day, she'd deserve that too!
November 8, 201014 yr well done Leona, deserved. Just need Run to get a million one day, she'd deserve that too! But it's a cover. So it would be more like congratulations to Snow Patrol. EDIT: In fact, I'm not sure I could think of anything less deserving than singing a cover version of a song and getting to to 1,000,000 sales. How amusing to describe Leona as 'deserving' to get 1million sales. :P Edited November 8, 201014 yr by Matty01

How amusing to describe Leona as 'deserving' to get 1million sales. :P But some covers are better than the original. Not saying Leona's Run is, but nowadays, when everybody thinks of a cover, they automatically think of the X Factor winner's single. Not all covers are that bad, and the show is really giving a bad name to covers imo. You can put more effort into making a cover than into making an "original" song.
