We've had sixteen million-sellers of this decade so far, and unlike previous decades which seemed to mostly consist of movie/TV tie-in songs (1990s) or talent show winners/charity releases (2000s), we seem to have returned to a state of affairs where songs can sell six figures simply by that many people liking them enough to download them, which also gives a happily varied set of songs here. From the gentle balladry of Adele and Ed Sheeran to the singalong pop of Jessie J and Rihanna, the pounding dance of David Guetta to the mad Korean moves of PSY, they've all appealed enough to UK people's ears to send their totals into stratospheric quantities.

 

But which one's your favourite?

 

For me it's a two-horse race between Titanium and We Are Young, two songs so different it's somewhat impossible to compare them. I've gone for Titanium but We Are Young comes incredibly close and on another day might have got my vote. Prior to 2012 I'd have probably gone for Price Tag!

We Found Love

It was a tough choice between Moves Like Jagger & Somebody I Used to Know, but Gotye just shaded it.

And I thought *I* posted early... :P

 

I picked MLJ.

Voted for Only Girl...Gotye and Adele are my other two favorites.

Titaaaaaaaaniummm!

Easily Gotye for me

'Price Tag' for me. Such a good, simple, big pop song!

There are some great ones but I'd go with Moves Like Jagger.

Eminem/rihanna>>Gotye>>Ed Sheeran

Eminem feat. Rihanna - Love the Way You Lie - 5/10

Bruno Mars - Just the Way You Are 2/10

Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World) 8/10

Good Lord! They're almost all unlistenable. Gotye gets my vote by default.

Gotye.

Gotye

 

Mind you Titanium and MLJ would have been among my top 3.

It was between Adele, Matt Cardle and Fun but Matt Cardle is what i went for.

Here's my personal order of the million sellers!

 

01 Adele - Someone Like You

02 Rihanna feat Calvin Harris - We FOund Lovve

03 David Guetta feat Sia - TItanium

04 fun. feat Janelle Monae - We Are Young

05 Eminem feat. Rihanna - Love the Way You Lie

07 Ed Sheeran - The A Team

08 Gotye feat Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know

09 PSY - Gangnam Style

10 James Arthur - Impossible

11 LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem

12 Maroon 5 feat Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger

13 Jessie J feat B.O.B. - Price Tag

15 Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe

16 Matt Cardle - When We Collide

 

I love the Top 6, like #7-12 and wouldn't listen to the final four songs out of choice.

Some of these have aged horrendously. Voted for Gotye (soon to be Bad Romance though hopefully...)

Yeah - it'll be a tough choice between them.

Gotye's song in particular has aged horribly in my opinion, even though that's the song that seemingly everyone is voting for!

You think? Still think it sounds brillantly simple and unique!
