How much is 'Mr Brightside' on? I am STILL awaiting for that to get a major boost back inside the UK top 10 as I genuinely believe it's only a matter of time before it happens and I have no doubts that it'll (eventually) sell a million! Whether it's 5 or 10 years. It WILL get there haha.

Has Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love reached a million yet? If not, it's surely due to soon?

I have ~395k for it on my spreadsheet, but I don't know if that's the full total.

It reached it after Matt Cardle performed it on XF last year. (It would have reached the million around that time anyway but Matt's performance sped it up a bit).

I hope Fight For This Love gets there soon!

Make You Feel My Love could get there in the very distant future?

Michael Jackson - Thriller

Rihanna - umbrella

alicia keys - empire state of mind ?

Michael Jackson - Thriller

Rihanna - umbrella

alicia keys - empire state of mind ?

None of those will manage it in the near future (ie even 5/10 years?!) unless they get a huge random boost.

Maybe if Jackson di... oh.

:lol: Wonder what his closest song to a million is? (Earth Song aside of course).

I'd imagine You Are Not Alone? Or possibly Billie Jean.

I dug out my Virgin Book of British Hit Singles and as of 03/05/2010 (chart date 10/04/2010) his 2nd highest seller is Billie Jean on 870k, followed by One Day In Your Life on 810k. I'd imagine the former will have trickle sold to 900k+ since then, there have been 83 chart weeks since then and I don't think ~360 copies a week would be too much of an ask for it over that period. I doubt ODIYL has sold much since then though.
