Does anyone know which is their biggest selling single?

I would say it was either this or Street Spirit. Probably this.

Does anyone know which is their biggest selling single?

 

It'll be this by now, trickle sales will make all the difference since none of them lasted very long in the charts originally and this is still by far their most downloaded.

Strangley, th eVirgin book givves certifications as above but then gives figures of 2.69m for Rush Of Blood, 2.54m fro X&Y and 2.435m for Parachutes. The recordc company are obviously a bit tardy in claiming extra certification.

Ahhh. That solves that then!

UK pop quartet McFly burst on to the chart scene with a fresh twist on the boy band formula, they played their instruments! They wrote their own material! Lead vocalist and chief songwriter Tom Fletcher originally tried out for Busted, but when he was beaten to the position by Charlie Simpson the band's management held further auditions to form a new outfit centred around him. The links between the two bands were cemented when Fletcher contributed material for Busted b-sides, and the two bands toured together in 2003. The invaluable exposure from the tour helped push McFly's debut single, "5 Colours In Her Hair" to the top of the UK singles chart where it was promptly joined by debut full length ROOM ON THE 3RD FLOOR. Follow-up effort, WONDERLAND, matched that achievement and in 2006 they moved into the movies, starring alongside Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan in the film JUST MY LUCK. - HMV

When was the last time this happened to McFly?

This is the first time a McFly single has failed to fall within the top 100 (post-peak and within its original run) since 'I'll Be OK' climbed 58-54 on week ending 15 Oct 2005 :o (and then stayed at #54 the following week)

 

'All About You' did re-enter the top 100 at #93 in 2007

Does anyone know which is their biggest selling single?

I take a wild guess and saying it's Creep.

It'll be this by now, trickle sales will make all the difference since none of them lasted very long in the charts originally and this is still by far their most downloaded.

Thanks! Too bad they don't get what they deserve! I wanted Karma Police to be the biggest!

This is literally nothing whatsoever about the chart - it's just 5 minutes of self promotion for Reggie - I reckon at least 75% of people listening don't give a crap about how Reggie's bed floats.
Where's the album chart....?

 

Has Duffy's record company bought the Top 3 position and they're fixing the chart? :P

I think they're a band that more than make up for it in album sales.
