January 6, 201411 yr Journey - Don't Stop Believin' It has sold around 970,000 copies on download and may pass a million sales later this year. If not this year it definitely will at some point in 2015.
January 6, 201411 yr I honestly thought a few years ago that Will Young was going to be the biggest seller of the twenty-first century, let alone the 2000s! he still might be, if sales start to fall and streaming takes over
January 6, 201411 yr I honestly thought a few years ago that Will Young was going to be the biggest seller of the twenty-first century, let alone the 2000s! It quite likely will be. I think I'm right in saying that the majority of new million sellers and trickle-over-the-line classics that become million sellers only get a short way over the million mark at best, whereas Will is comfortably over by quite a margin.
January 7, 201411 yr Grenade must be fairly close by now. Might get there over the next 12 months with the help of some sort of boost. Although I'll only be happy to see it cross the million mark after Rolling In The Deep in order to avenge the latter's defeat to number 1.
January 7, 201411 yr Starships :wub:Ooh. How far away is this from getting to a million? What a lovely addition this would be :wub:
January 7, 201411 yr It quite likely will be. I think I'm right in saying that the majority of new million sellers and trickle-over-the-line classics that become million sellers only get a short way over the million mark at best, whereas Will is comfortably over by quite a margin. I will predict that it won't be, safe in the knowledge that, if it is still the century's biggest seller by 31 December 2100, I will be long dead so won't see the "told you so" posts :D
January 7, 201411 yr I think that "Don't Speak" will be a million seller this year..It's quite close to achieve this!!!
January 7, 201411 yr I think that "Don't Speak" will be a million seller this year..It's quite close to achieve this!!! What's it currently on?
January 7, 201411 yr More than 975.000 copies.. Almost 25,000 copies is alot to find on trickle sales alone. It could do it if it gets a big boost from being used on The Voice, X Factor, BGT or gets a random surge in sales due to being 59p.
March 7, 201411 yr Author So we've had our first two trickle selling millionaires of the year - Rolling in the Deep and Diamonds.

March 8, 201411 yr Use Somebody has sold a million but Sex On Fire hasn't? That's very surprising. Check the list again, Sex On Fire is #12.
March 15, 201411 yr I wonder how close Give Me Everything is now? I only say because of the VAST amount of songs released in 2011 that have now passed a million - Price Tag, The A Team, Someone Like You, Rolling In The Deep, We Found Love, Party Rock Anthem, Moves Like Jagger and Titanium! I hadn't realised at the time what a huge year it was for mammoth hits :o

March 16, 201411 yr Jar of Hearts will pass it at some stage too. I'm hoping MW will give us an updated total for it, tomorrow.
