Overall a very good selection of songs. Price Tag is definitely the weakest there, followed by A Moment Like This. Would much rather Domino had those sales.

These three would be amongst my Top 200 of all time if such a chart existed

26 BAD ROMANCE LADY GAGA 2009 1,010,000

29 ROLLING IN THE DEEP ADELE 2011 1,000,000

20 I FEEL LOVE DONNA SUMMER 1977 1,090,000 (other figures suggest 1,160,000)

 

 

 

These are ones that I would voluntarily listen to given the right circumstances

 

9 WE FOUND LOVE RIHANNA FEATURING CALVIN HARRIS 2011 1,330,000

11 CALL ME MAYBE CARLY RAE JEPSEN 2012 1,270,000

14 CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD KYLIE MINOGUE 2001 1,170,000

16 TORN NATALIE IMBRUGLIA 1997 1,140,000

17 POKER FACE LADY GAGA 2009 1,140,000

19 ONLY GIRL (IN THE WORLD) RIHANNA 2010 1,120,000

24 ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU MARIAH CAREY 1994 1,020,000

30 DIAMONDS RIHANNA 2012 1,000,000

32 STARSHIPS NICKI MINAJ 2012

34 JUST DANCE LADY GAGA 2010 940,000

Nicki Minaj With a soon to be milling seller. That's just as bizarre as LMFAO approaching a second one with 'Sexy And I Know It' :lol:

And "Sexy & I Know It" will probably be one of the "lowest-peaking" million sellers at #5!

What an awful list of songs. I like ONE of the top 8 (Adele obvz). And it doesn't get a whole lot better beyond that either.

Madonna doesn't even come close :(

I wouldnt worry. Neither does Kate Bush and she's an actual musical genius.

I've noticed that too, but I have no idea why?

 

If I recall correctly when it was used on X Factor last year it didn't even go Top 1000 on iTunes even after the exposure.

Maybe the Kylie song doesn't sell as much on back catalogue because there are so many copies of the whole album available in charity shops for the same price as downloading one track?

But that applies to pretty much any old hit out there...

Nice to see Leona appear twice and to have a better idea of the sales for "A Moment Like This" using "Roar" as a comparison. "Run" is more likely to pass the million mark first then "A Moment Like This" though, so hope to see it pass the million mark in the next few years or so. ^_^

I'd probably agree with this.

 

That top 3 :wub:

And according to the OCC Rihanna total UK singles/tracks are now at 18,781,292.

Rihanna maybe able to sell records but I really don't rate her as an artist. At least sales don't mean quality.

I love "Baby One More Time" and i bought her cd-single when it released but i would like to see "My Heart Will Go On" in the Top 3..One of my favourite soundtracks ever!!! At least, it's quite close to "Baby One More Time"..

Is there any particular reason kylie minogue and Jason Donovan - especially for you isn't included here? :/ :/ :/

I would guess because it's a duet with a male artist (I'm aware 'Price Tag' and 'We Found Love' also have male artists credited but they're both 'featuring [x]' whereas 'Especially For You' was 'Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan').

You are right ... argumentum ad populum, after all, for example Westlife.

 

However Rihanna really is the perfect package.

As well as the point Bre gave, the commonly seen sales figure of 990k may not actually be its official sales. I'm not really sure how to explain it any further but I'm sure someone will (Gezza for instance).
