Posted April 30, 201114 yr It's on Magic (Sky 363) now. I just thought you guys might like to know that Anastacia has sold less than 600k in singles, with all her single sales combined she has only sold 590k :o "Left Outside Alone" was released in 2004 and became her biggest hit (7th biggest seller of the year) and we all know how bad the sales were then but I was gobsmacked that she hasn't even reached Platinum status with all her singles combined. Anyone else surprised by this?? Edited April 30, 201114 yr by gagafan

April 30, 201114 yr Yeah, that is surprising really. I mean, she was so incredibly popular at one point. She was unfortunate I guess. Her popularity peaked when sales were pretty much at their lowest.
April 30, 201114 yr Author Here's Anastacias' UK Chart history: 2000: I'm Outta Love Chart Run: 7-6-9-11-14-12-12-15-19-23-27-36-42-47-51-61-72 2001: Not That Kind Chart Run: 11-18-20-27-36-40-54-RE62 2001: Cowboys & Kisses Chart Run: 28-42-59-71-66 2001: Made For Lovin' You Chart Run: 27-42-63 2001/02: Paide My Dues Chart Run: 14-22-31-38-38-38-41-55-66 2002: One Day In Your Life (one of my personal faves, thought this went Top 10) Chart Run: 11-15-21-25-24-32-37-46-64 2002: Why'd You Lie To Me Chart Run: 25-57-67-RE73-73 2002: You'll Never Be Alone Chart Run: 31-49-67 2004: Left Outside Alone (another fave of mine) Chart Run: 3-5-4-4-4-5-7-6-7-8-9-15-16-19-19-23-32-40-44-53 (275,000 sales according to Wikipedia, biggest-selling non-number one single of the year) 2004: Sick & Tired Chart Run: 4-6-8-12-27-26-30-36-41-57-74 2004: Welcome To My Truth Chart Run: 25-43-57-55-65 2005: Heavy On My Heart Chart Run: 21-43-75 2005: Everything Burns (with Ben Moody) *I remember this being played on the UK music channels but apparently it did not chart* 2005: Pieces Of A Dream Chart Run: 48-OUT 2008: I Can Feel You Chart Run: 67-OUT Notice how all but one of her singles when straight in the chart at its peak, "I'm Outta Love" just climbed one place (7-6) Edited April 30, 201114 yr by gagafan
April 30, 201114 yr Damn, I don't get Magic because I don't have Sky :( Quite suprising she has sold less than 600k, but then again, only Left Outside Alone and I'm Outta Love were successful.
April 30, 201114 yr Notice how all but one of her singles when straight in the chart at its peak, "I'm Outta Love" just climbed one place (7-6) That's pretty common for this century, barring the period between 2006 and 2008 and most post-album releases since - and she's not really done that well in that period.
April 30, 201114 yr I'm sure that total is wrong... LOA's total is correct but IOL sold over 200k I'm certain and ODIYL 100k+. That puts her 15k or so shy of the supposed total already. You telling me her other singles failed to sell that? :wacko: Also surely they must have trickled at least a few extra thousand sales due to downloads. I wonder how accurate this list is. Edit: From Haven 54 I'm Outta Love - Anastacia [6] 227,000 [would've sold a bit more in 2001] 126 One Day In Your Life – Anastacia [11]85,000 7. Anastacia - 'Left Outside Alone' 275,000 94. Anastacia - 'Sick And Tired' 62,000 Edited April 30, 201114 yr by GrAmii

According to Wikipedia IOL did sell over 200k :-) I don't really like these countdowns because you watch one saying a song has sold a specific amout and then another has the same song with different sales, and I'm not just talking about newer releases which obviously woulda sold more.

April 30, 201114 yr It doesn't surprise me, Ana was at her biggest when single sales were extremely low. However pre-2008 she was a very big album seller with her first 3 exceeding 900k and 2 of them over a million.
April 30, 201114 yr these countdowns on TV aren't always right though, that said, bar Left Outside Alone (which was released in a very low sales environment) she's never been a huge singles act, and her recent songs have flopped
April 30, 201114 yr TOP 10 (i will update) 01 Rihanna: Sold:6,100,00 02 Eminem: Sold: 5,210,000 03 Lady Gaga (GODGA): Sold:4,490,000 04 Britney Spears: Sold: 3,310,00 05 Leona Lewis: Sold: 3,250,00 06 Beyoncé: Sold: 3,230,00 07 Katy Perry: Sold: 3,090,00 08 Will Young: Sold: 2,900,000 09 Alexandra Burke: Sold: 2,770,000 10 Kylie: Sold: 2,600,00 Edited April 30, 201114 yr by Gaga for Glee!
April 30, 201114 yr Does the Rihanna total include last years sales? I'm no expert but that total seems quite high? If so it would explain why Anastacia is lower than expected, as it would be 2001-10
April 30, 201114 yr Does the Rihanna total include last years sales? I'm no expert but that total seems quite high? If so it would explain why Anastacia is lower than expected, as it would be 2001-10 That's funny, because I was going to say it seems a bit low. :lol: I'm sure last year alone Rihanna sold over 2 million. EDIT: Actually no, that seems about right. 2010 was one of her biggest years, and the year with highest sales. She didn't do much in 2009, for example. Also, does it include featured songs? EDIT: I found these: Best-selling artists of 2010 (and this is NOT including featured singles, so Rihanna, for example, is well above 3 million if you include Love the Way You Lie, etc.): 01 - 2,496,982 - Rihanna 02 - 2,022,338 - Glee Cast 03 - 1,907,371 - Eminem 04 - 1,832,358 - Lady GaGa 05 - 1,758,853 - Katy Perry 06 - 1,517,050 - Tinie Tempah 07 - 1,362,146 - Black Eyed Peas 08 - 1,279,514 - Usher 09 - 1,201,662 - Jason Derulo 10 - 1,195,859 - B.o.B. 11 - 1,161,007 - Alicia Keys 12 - 1,144,058 - Cheryl Cole 13 - 1,085,996 - Ellie Goulding 14 - 1,079,928 - JLS 15 - 1,038,067 - Florence + The Machine 16 - 1,021,996 - Alexandra Burke 17 - 992,817 - Plan B 18 - 931,608 - David Guetta 19 - 839,671 - Taio Cruz 20 - 838,469 - Ke$ha 21 - 837,154 - Timbaland 22 - 835,100 - Justin Bieber 23 - 830,650 - N-Dubz 24 - 814,997 - Matt Cardle 25 - 790,660 - Saturdays 26 - 782,108 - Bruno Mars 27 - 738,722 - Jay-Z 28 - 722,987 - Take That 29 - 722,940 - Owl City 30 - 707,722 - Example 31 - 703,617 - Iyaz 32 - 684,747 - Pixie Lott 33 - 664,507 - Wanted 34 - 664,125 - Michael Buble 35 - 657,549 - 3OH!3 36 - 636,739 - Yolanda Be Cool vs D Cup 37 - 633,241 - Flo Rida 38 - 627,895 - Helping Haiti 39 - 612,276 - Cee Lo Green 40 - 582,231 - Roll Deep 41 - 579,353 - Beyonce 42 - 577,488 - Olly Murs 43 - 576,907 - Enrique Iglesias 44 - 555,166 - Kings Of Leon 45 - 552,456 - Professor Green 46 - 545,810 - Scouting For Girls 47 - 540,871 - Swedish House Mafia 48 - 538,748 - Eliza Doolittle 49 - 530,874 - Michael Jackson 50 - 522,004 - Kylie Minogue And then the best-selling artists of the 00's decade (again, not including featured singles, Eminem is well over 5 million if you include them): 01 EMINEM 4,592,127 02 WESTLIFE 4,551,712 03 BRITNEY SPEARS 04 BLACK EYED PEAS 4,224,350 05 GIRLS ALOUD 06 MADONNA 07 RIHANNA 08 WILL YOUNG 3,532,410 09 SUGABABES 10 BEYONCE 11 LEONA LEWIS 12 ROBBIE WILLIAMS 13 PINK 14 KYLIE MINOGUE 15 LADY GAGA 2,952,097 16 S CLUB 7 17 MICHAEL JACKSON 18 OASIS 19 TAKE THAT 20 GARETH GATES 21 ATOMIC KITTEN 22 KINGS OF LEON 23 NELLY 24 COLDPLAY 25 AKON 26 KANYE WEST 27 ELVIS PRESLEY 28 PUSSYCAT DOLLS 29 SHAGGY 30 CHRISTINA AGUILERA 31 MARIAH CAREY 32 SHAKIRA 33 JENNIFER LOPEZ 34 U2 35 KILLERS 36 RONAN KEATING 37 CRAIG DAVID 38 JAY-Z 39 ENRIQUE IGLESIAS 40 DESTINY'S CHILD 41 50 CENT 42 ALEXANDRA BURKE 43 JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE 44 NICKELBACK 45 MCFLY 46 LILY ALLEN 47 USHER 48 NELLY FURTADO 49 SHAYNE WARD 50 SNOW PATROL Those figures from the countdown must be out of date, if you compare Lady Gaga's and Eminem's figures, for example.

April 30, 201114 yr It's surely too high to not take account of last year. There's no way she sold 6 million of singles pre-'Rude Boy'. Given the sales climate has only really been high in the last two years and she only released the one(?) single in 2009, I can't imagine that she'd be on around 9 million sales now....
April 30, 201114 yr Well, Rihanna sold over 3.5 million in the 00's (not including featured singles), and she sold 2.5 million in 2010. I'll be conservative and assumed 3.5 million for the 00's, which gives here 6 million altogether, which correlates with the list given. However, Eminem sold 4.5 million in the 00's, and 2 million in 2010, which gives him 6.5 million altogether. So, firstly, he should be ahead of Rihanna, and secondly, his figure given is a lot lower. The only way this might make sense is if they counted it, say halfway through 2010, and included featured singles. Rihanna had Live Your Life and Run This Town which sold a lot, for example, which might've kept her total at 6 million, making up for the Only Girl sales in the last few months of 2010. Eminem's total would be about a million lower if counted mid-2010, even if they included featured singles, because he sold over 500,000 featured singles in the 00's, but he loses well over a million sales from Not Afraid, Love the Way You Lie, No Love, etc.

If so it would explain why Anastacia is lower than expected, as it would be 2001-10 I think you are right. I think they have done it between 2001 and 2010 instead of 2000 and 2009, the way it should be, hence why Rihanna, Gaga ect. are so high, as I don't think Gaga managed to sell 4.5 million in 2009 alone as she only released JD, PF, Paparazzi, LG so 2010 must be included to add BR (lots of its sales were in 2010), Telephone and Alejandro to make that total.

Lady Gaga sold 3 million in 2009. The 2001-2010 thing might make sense, since Eminem probably sold like a million singles in 2000, accounting for the million difference between the two totals.

Yeah, and that would explain the million sales he has missing, if they ignored 2000. The sales of Stan, etc. in 2000 probably totalled around that.
