December 29, 201113 yr Any partciular reason you only have a rounded figure for One Direction but exact figures for the rest? :P (Also, by the by, Professor Green and Labrinth are missing from the list).
December 29, 201113 yr I think Someone Like You deserved the #1 more than Born This Way. It had four other weeks there though.
February 20, 201213 yr Any partciular reason you only have a rounded figure for One Direction but exact figures for the rest? :P Labrinth's figure is now the odd one out in being rounded :kink:
May 24, 201312 yr 2010 seems to be the turning point - before then they're all either X-Factor tie-ins or novelty/charity releases, 'Bonkers' notably bucking the trend. Iyaz selling 106k of Replay was a big shock at the time although benefitted from everyone using their iTunes gift cards/new iPods at the start of January...it's from California Gurls onwards we really start to see a change, and that 2012 list is just insane. There's already been more 100k+ sellers from Jan-May 2013 than there were in the entire years of 2006, 2007 or 2008!

June 2, 201312 yr Author A few more additions to the topic, actual sales figures for this week will be added tomorrow.
June 27, 201312 yr Author With the help from Haven, I've updated the first post back to February 1995, in some weeks the #2 track would have sold triple figures as week.
June 27, 201312 yr With the help from Haven, I've updated the first post back to February 1995, in some weeks the #2 track would have sold triple figures as week. I've got some 100k figures for songs that didn't make the top spot, if you want them!
June 27, 201312 yr Although I think that Liamk would be better for this because he's recorded all the figures for the songs that I get my sources from!
June 27, 201312 yr Although I think that Liamk would be better for this because he's recorded all the figures for the songs that I get my sources from! Only for the 21st century though, can't help with the 90s. :D I can PM you, Martin, what I do have though. I make 197 #1s, 34 #2s and 7 #3s selling over 100k in the 21st century.
