There was a debate in the 90s solo women thread as to whether Wannabe outsold Never Ever, seems it has.

Now 39 was phenomenally heavy with huge selling singles -

 

Never Ever

Perfect Day

Angels

Torn

Together Again

Barbie Girl

It's Like That

Shouldn't Pokerface be 33 as there should be no 32nd place with 2 tracks at 31?

Hence why six of them are on this list :)

Now never even included Candle In The Wind? :o fair enough, its hardly a classic but it was massive at the time!

 

Now probably didn't have the rights to include it (being on a different record label) :(

There was a version of Candle in the Wind on Now 11 - but not the one that sold millions.
Updated with Top 50 :)
Alexandra Burke's "hallelujah" sold more than 1.2 millions copies
Alexandra Burke's "hallelujah" sold more than 1.2 millions copies

 

How much has it sold then? :unsure:
