February 11, 201312 yr Tons, but very few actual singles I bought at the time - instead either charity shop purchases (which wouldn't count to their sales total) or Now That's What I Call Music albums. Ones I genuinely bought as CD/download singles though are as follows: Gnarls Barkley - Crazy (Xmas 2006, one of my first iTunes downloads) Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (a few days later) Band Aid 20 - Do They Know It's Christmas (in 2008, a Birmingham WHSmith selling off a load of unsold copies for half the price - for me it was just because the original '84 version was on there) Lady Gaga - Poker Face (Xmas 2009) Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling (New Years Day 2010 after hearing about 50 times that night/morning :P ) Jessie J - Price Tag (February 2011 - about two days after it was released!) Jennifer Rush - The Power of Love (last November as it was 59p) And two not yet past a million but very close: Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You (Xmas 2006 again) Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (very end of 2009 - one of the last ever CD singles I bought)

(2004) 1,160,000 (No, I do not know what I was thinking. I regretted this just days afterwards) 76 Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head (2001) 1,150,000 80 Whigfield - Saturday Night (1994) 1,140,000 86 The Spice Girls - 2 Become 1 (1996) 1,110,000 96 Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee) (1999) 1,070,000 :blush: 125 Cheryl Cole - Fight For This Love (2009) 1,002,260* (14.01.13) (I didn't buy this for myself though) 127 David Guetta feat.
