New information: I'll Stand By You is now on 234,000 sales [no streams] while Something New is on 189,000 [that's with streams; 175,000 without them] :D

 

---------------------------------------------------

 

As far as I know, these are all the GA related sales figures given over the past couple of years.

 

Sound of the Underground & Something New includes streams, don't think any of the others do.

If I've missed anything, please let me know! :D Not sure if there's any recent sales for I Don't Care, Only Human (single) and Only Human (album)?

I guess I Don't Care is not reaching Gold anytime soon?

'Sound of the Underground' has now sold over 700k chart sales! :cheer:

Wahey! It seems quite impressive to me that it's done 20k+ in the last year. ;o

OCC reveal Girls Aloud sold 4.4m singles and 4.1m albums (they confirm these figures exclude streams). Sarah's song 'Threads' has yet to pass the 2k mark! :')

 

http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/c...evealed__19832/

I wish they had been a bit more accurate with the singles total figure instead of (presumably) rounding it to the nearest 100k! In October 2012 they tweeted that GA had sold 4.3m singles... so technically the new figure of 4.4m only suggests a 100k rise in almost 5 years. We know that Something New sold 175,000 pure sales (as of Nov '16), before taking into account BCYLM (20k?) & the rest of their back catalogue - so surely they've exceeded 200k pure sales over the past 5 years? The only way it'd make some sort of sense is if they'd rounded up to achieve the 4.3m figure last time, and if they have rounded down to 4.4m this time.

 

As of March 2013, the 5 studio albums had sold 2,658,000 combined, TSOGA 1,200,000 & Ten 156,000 = 4,014,000. (If you included Mixed Up & Girls A Live*, then an additional ~35k = approximately 4,050,000). Ten still had a bit of life left in it in 2013 and had risen to 167,290 by October 2013. It would stand to reason that the majority of their sales achieved over the past few years come from Ten, but we don't know whether OCC have rounded up or down to arrive at 4.1m so it's hard to estimate what Ten's total could be on now!

 

* I wonder if OCC's 4.1m total includes these two miscellaneous albums?

 

Poor Threads! :') Most of that figure surely comes from the CDs!

Didn't spot this in the Sarah/Amelia Lily article originally, but Sound of the Underground is stated as being on 715,000 now, and the Out of Control album is revealed as 800,000.

500,000 for Cheryl - Call My Name! http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/g...evealed__19993/

 

Judging by this thread the last time we got an update for this song was in November 2014 when it was said to have sold 450,000 (presumably without streaming data)

Sales from July 2017:

 

190,660 - Biology

171,200 - The Loving Kind

114,424 - The Show

Including streams, I'm guessing? Great to see updated figures for songs we haven't received in a while and it's pleasing to know 'Biology' isn't that far off Silver - it's one of their most known and celebrated hits and Chemistry needs a certified single!

 

I reckon 'The Promise' isn't too far away from Platinum either, streams included.

Seemingly so re: streaming!

 

Here are their last known sales:

 

165,000 - Biology (October 2012) [+25,660 in 4 years & 9 months]

160,000 - The Loving Kind (August 2014) [+11,200 in 2 years & 11 months]

98,955 - The Show (June 2009) [+15,469 in 8 years & 1 month]

 

Such a small increase for The Show... :cry:

'Something New' must be very close to Silver now! :D

 

Jay, haven't you always disputed that 99k figure for the 'The Show'?! I remember you saying it should be higher, which probably means the 114k figure is incorrect as well...

^ The guy who posted lots of different artist sales on BuzzJack originally gave it as 76,090, but then corrected it to 98,955, thankfully!

So hopefully the new 114k figure is right? :thinking:

 

 

The Show's sales always seem to be a problem though, for instance:

 

- MTV aired a "Girls Aloud Top 20" programme in April 2010 & stated that The Show had sold 175,000 and was their 9th best seller... which was definitely wrong.

- Official Charts published a Top 20 in October 2010, and had The Show in 17th - below I Think We're Alone Now & Life Got Cold, which seemed unlikely to me.

More sales! As of 15th Sep:

 

578,145 - The Promise

149,992 - No Good Advice

 

Hmm, might take a while yet for The Promise to go platinum!

Really pleasing to see these new sales snippets coming through with streams included! There's something so satisfying in seeing a precise figure rather than a rounded one.

 

Here's what we have so far:

 

715,000 Sound of the Underground [August 2017]

150,000 No Good Advice [september 2017]

Life Got Gold

Jump

114,000 The Show [september 2017]

578,000 The Promise [september 2017]

171,000 The Loving Kind [september 2017]

189,000 Something New [November 2016]

Thanks for the "list so far" Liam! *.* Hopefully there will be more to come. :cool:

 

It's a shame that sales lower than 200k seems so awful these days because of how much streaming has inflated things. GA have at least 8 singles that are currently stuck in the 100,000 to 199,999 range. :cry: Thankfully Biology & Something New should become silver in the not too distant future... I wouldn't like to guess how long either will take though. :drama:

Fingers crossed!

 

Yeah, I agree, seeing songs uncertified just automatically feels like a flop due to how literally every hit single passes Silver with such ease nowadays.

 

I think that once 'Biology' is certified, that'll be all of their biggest hits with a certification.

It's a shame the majority of their singles were released in such a crappy sales climate! :cry:

 

'No Good Advice' felt like a very big hit at the time but it's only sold 150k. I guess its Top 40 run was on the short side (just 6 weeks) but it did spend 14 weeks inside the Top 75, and 23 weeks inside the Top 100 (more than SOTU!). Despite having a good run inside the Top 100, it wouldn't have sold much between the 76-100 positions. It was the 56th biggest song of 2003 but it felt like a bigger hit to me. :(

 

NGA also seems to be forgotten these days (probably why it's such a low trickle seller!). -_-

What about a classic designated Girls Aloud download day to push "Biology" to Silver? :basil:
