Kylie was on 10.1m on the 1st June when the OCC gave her all those #1 single "awards".

So add about 78 copies for Timebomb & Flower ;-) OK maybe 50K

 

Yeah, OK.

Im assuming those totals are WITHOUT collabos. Coz She is at almost 15M with them (I have her at 14.87M)

 

Without collabos she is at around 11M now

Really surprised Robbie isn't in the Top 10.

He is the next after George Michael according the total list of artists.

 

I think after Take The Crown's era he will overtake George.

Where's Cher's Believe? Jennifer Rush? Britney Baby One more time?

 

 

Plus Saturyday Night,I Will Always Love You, Think Twice, My Heart Will Go On and Torn.

That list is from 2000 and onwards I think (but essentially it's ~2009 onwards, since most of those massive hits from the years before couldn't sell as much with the sales being lower).

 

I can't believe Eminem is in the top 10. He's releasing another album next year I think, so maybe he can pass 10 million one day.

Never understood why Wings' sales seem to count towards Paul McCartney's tally - I realise they were sometimes called 'Paul McCartney & Wings' but was McCartney not a member of the band?

 

I wonder how far off the top 10 David Guetta is, he has a LOT of hits one of which will be nearing the million mark by the end of the year.

So, Robbie Williams is 11th, & Shakin' Stevens 12th.

 

11) ROBBIE WILLIAMS - 7.6 Million

12) SHAKIN' STEVENS - 7.3 Million

 

I believe that David Guetta is 13th, but I don't know

his Sales. Tom Jones is 14th, with 6,300,000 Singles

Sales, & Phil Collins is 15th with 5,850,000 Sales.

 

Is Will anywhere in the top 40? probably not though as he's only on about 4 million single sales.

Unfortunately Will is not there. I don't know his clear sales and also I don't know clear sales of Coldplay or Pink (they were #60 and #59 - of course, their sales have increased since the date of news) for example but in June he was out from Top 60.

Thanks for that, but it's a mixed chart and I meant just male solo artists like the topic title states.
