April 23, 201114 yr Author How much do you think S&M will end up selling? I think S&M will pass Rude Boy but won't get anywhere near WMN - maybe around 650K by the end of the year. The Britney duet will drop out quickly (thank goodness - it's absolutely atrocious in my view), but the original will stick around for a while I reckon.
April 28, 201114 yr Lady Gaga's Alejandro must be tantalisingly close to the bottom of this list - would anyone know how close?
April 28, 201114 yr Lady Gaga's Alejandro must be tantalisingly close to the bottom of this list - would anyone know how close? Don't know exactly. Although it's sales this decade will be slightly lower than its total sales because it was released in 2009 and started charting then. It should be quite close though. Although there's a bunch of songs about to push it down further in the near future, such as J-Lo, LMFAO, and a couple of Chris Brown songs, and probably other songs too.

Just checked - it shifted ~361,000 last year plus whatever it sold this year - not enough to trouble this chart, though. Shame, it only reached no 7 and I love seeing random low-peakers in amongst the biggies!

Shame, it only reached no 7 and I love seeing random low-peakers in amongst the biggies! Indeed. Alejandro sold a lot for its chart peak. More than some number-ones even. Who's That Chick? is in the top 50 though, which peaked at #6, and that's still selling well at the moment, so should climb a bit more. :)
April 28, 201114 yr Author Yes, Alejandro is around 10K off. At least Guetta and Journey are flying the flag for the low peakers. Lots of songs are close - in fact Baby is perilously close to the chart, but thankfully J-Lo will get there first. :D

You do realise that after a while, us chartwatchers will be campaigning for a top 75/100, haha!
April 28, 201114 yr how close is just a dream by nelly, that peaked at 8 and I'm sure it's sold over 350000
April 28, 201114 yr Author how close is just a dream by nelly, that peaked at 8 and I'm sure it's sold over 350000 I make it around 351K. Bray - remember that Make You Feel My Love did nearly 80K before 1/1/10, so RITD has some way to go to beat it overall. paulc - you're welcome! :)
April 28, 201114 yr Bray - remember that Make You Feel My Love did nearly 80K before 1/1/10, so RITD has some way to go to beat it overall. Oh yeah, sorry, thought 541k was MYFML's overall figure :lol: Still, I don't think it'll be too long before RITD is her second biggest seller. She looked like she may never get as big a hit as CP again, then within less than a year she's already outsold it three times :lol:

Similar with Rihanna too. I never thought she'd outsell Umbrella, but Love the Way You Lie, Only Girl and What's My Name? all did in the past year. :D

I love it when artists I like suddenly come back bigger than before.
May 5, 201114 yr Amazing list. It took about 5 years to reach 31 500k sellers in the previous decade (2000-2010), weve reached that amount now in just 16 months :o Hopefully the top 4 will pass a million before the end of the year.

The whole top 5 will pass a million by the end of this year, I think!! I predict Adele will get there first, then Bruno, then Eminem, then Rihanna, then Matt.
