72. Olly Murs - Right Place Right Time

159. Demi Lovato - Made in the USA

I think I'm Yours is for the #11.

 

I'd honestly be interested for every position in the top 200. :lol: I suspect most of the ones lower down would be from the past few years. And it would also be interesting to know the best-selling song that never charted (I think there was a thread on that a while ago).

 

Come to think of it, I wonder what the highest-selling album track is that was never promoted as a single of any kind. :lol:

 

I think 'How Do I Live' is definitely the highest-selling #7 as DB said, #9 I would've guessed 'Video Games' if I wasn't told about 'Blue Monday'. 'Superbass' and '212' sold really well for a #8 and #12 respectively, no? And 'Pumped Up Kicks' has to be the highest-selling song of it's chart position too. :lol:

At the time (I'm sure I'm Yours, Set Fire To The Rain and others will have overtaken) 5, 6, 7, 8 by Steps was the biggest selling song of all time that didn't make the top 10 and that was why they made more music, initially they were intended to be a one hit wonder.

'Blue Monday' isn't a #9, even if it did sell over a million before the remix got to #3 (which I don't think it did but I may be wrong) it is still a #3 hit, just as Elbow's 'One Day Like This' is no longer the biggest selling #35 even if it was before the Olympics as the Olympics turned it into a #4 hit. :P

What a ridiculous idea to set up a band with the intention of them being a one hit wonder :lol:

Well they were never set up for that but only given a 1 single deal so the record company was not tied into an expensive deal with a flop act on their hands had '5,6,7,8' not taken off.

Given the remix was titled "Blue Monday 1988" and was a remix of the song by Quincy Jones and John Potoke, it could (rightly) be argued that the original was a #9. Though the sales have probably been combined, it is likely it has still sold over a million taking out the sales of the '88 and '95 remixes.

Yeah I remember that. Before I followed the charts, I thought '5,6,7,8' would've definitely been a top 3 hit and most probably a #1.

 

I think 'Amazed' by Lonestar was at the time the highest-selling single to miss the top 20 but I'm sure the likes of 'Gold Dust' (and maybe 'Dirty Talk' unless I'm completely overestimating its sales) would've overtaken it now.

I think Dog Days Are Over could be the best-selling non-top 20 hit.

I think Mr Brightside could be the best selling #10 hit.

No, it's between I'm Yours and Rain Fire

Leona Lewis "Run" to #162. It's been rising quite a bit! Hope it can keep rising. :wub:

345. Sara Bareilles - Brave

 

This is the highest I've seen this on iTunes, I wonder if it could end up reaching the top 200 officially?

I hope so! It'd make it her second highest charting single already if it did... :lol:

They peaked at #11, so they aren't relevant to either one of the two posts above yours :P

 

Ooh and wonderful for Sara :wub:

I hope so! It peaked far too low but I can't think of a bigger number 10 hit!

No! Doesn't matter how good a song it is, I'm sick of older songs clogging up the charts!
