June 30, 201311 yr Didn't Stereophonics and Cher sell over 100k on 06/03/1999 or is my mind tricking me? Thanks for this by the way! Edited June 30, 201311 yr by Griff Newman
June 30, 201311 yr Didn't Stereophonics and Cher sell over 100k on 06/03/1999 or is my mind tricking me? Likely, but I can't find any figures for them to be sure, perhaps Gezza can help there? Also Savage Garden 22/08/1998, Corrs 29/08/1998, Effiel 65 16/10/1999 are likely candidates for additions.
June 30, 201311 yr 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. And now thanks to my laptop dying, I now have no records of this at all! :mansoncheer:

July 3, 201311 yr I estimate that Sash En Core Une Fois would have sold just over 100k in it first week at no.2 (w/e 1st Mar 1997)
July 3, 201311 yr Did you? :D I did. :o (well, I think I did, I can't remember what it actually said, but I THINK it said that it sold 98k :P)
July 3, 201311 yr I did. :o (well, I think I did, I can't remember what it actually said, but I THINK it said that it sold 98k :P) I think you've just quoted my estimate from the retro thread! :lol:
July 3, 201311 yr I think you've just quoted my estimate from the retro thread! :lol: Oh, it turns out that it was! I could have swore that I got it from there but clearly not. Apologies!
July 3, 201311 yr :lol: The music week article for what week doesn't specify Sash!'s sales, the 98k comes from one of Gezza's excellent retro posts, but I'm inclined to agree with fiesta as ISTR that its sales were reported as 100k at the time.

Given your first point I don't see how you're second point follows? :D Not that I'm saying that Fiesta is wrong just that neither of us "Know".
July 3, 201311 yr Given your first point I don't see how you're second point follows? :D Not that I'm saying that Fiesta is wrong just that neither of us "Know". I'm only personally veering in the direction of Fiesta's higher estimate based on my recollections (admittedly rather vague, as it was yonks ago) of teletext sales info.
