A lot of her success chart wise is singing or featuring on her records and other peoples.

Even if she did over take Madonna has a HUGE back catalogue that could come into play at any time.

*Rihanna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry & Christina Aguilera have all charted this week.

Christina Aguilera pushes Petula Clark down to #18.

Deeper and Deeper is #191 in the Top 200 Best Selling Female Singles of the 90's - selling 117,000 in that decade :)

Erotica is #187 on Top 200 Best Selling Female Singles of the 90's, selling 119,100 (?) and one place above is Nothing Really Matters, selling 121,500 copies in the 90's :D

Erotica's sales seems very low for the 90's as of 2008 the sales were 270,800.

Deeper And Deeper's seems a little low too.

I think Deeper and Deepers sales are okay, but Gezza76 says he thinks Erotica's 270k sales are wrong. I'm guessing Erotica's total sales should be 170k

On the point of "Erotica" I think we need to bear in mind the poor sales of 1992. Even had it sold 200k that would have put it top 25 for the year (they were that bad)- Erotica finished 92 as the 67th biggest seller so it was WELL below that 200k figure. I can only account for it by saying either it was a MW error or it's a song which is a big downloader- (which personally I'd be surprised about?) but I suppose possible!

 

"Deeper and Deeper" also finsihed 92 as the 96th best seller not clearing 100k in 92 alone but did so in early 93 (though Jan was not a strong point of the year obviously)- as a Madonna fan I'd love them to be higher but the source I have is very good and has seen the panel sales :D

170k sounds about right with added downloads i reckon!

What I think has happened was that there was a typo when the 270k figure was given on Madonna's birthday in 2008, and MTV have copied this. No way will Erotica been able to sell 151k in 4 years (2004-2008 - 2004 was when downloading became popular) :P

well it won't have been the first typo MW have done! :o

well it won't have been the first typo MW have done! :o

 

Why, everything they say could be a mistake! :o

 

Well, probably not, but you know... :P

Bedtime Story was #183 on Best Selling Female Solo Singles of the 90's, selling 123,000 :D

 

EDIT: Despite MusicWeek saying it sold 97k up to 2008 :P

Edited November 2, 201113 yr by liamk97

I've put Bedtime Story's sales as 130k, and I'll put Erotica's sales as 170k :)

Into the Groove update: 862,000

Secret is #157 on the Best Selling Female Solo Singles of the 90's, selling 143,800 copies, more than the so called official sales given by the OCC :P Using Gezza76's sales, I think Secret will have sold about 150,000 to date :)
