Fantastic news :wub: Plus it’s now their third best selling single! For the level of impact & how memorable Love Machine is, it feels like it’s worthy of being this high up their best sellers list. Sound of the Underground, The Promise and Love Machine is a pretty stellar top 3 for them.

 

It’s funny to think that Love Machine wasn’t even Silver for the first 9 years of its existence, and for most of those years it didn’t seem like Silver was much of a possibility, and of course Gold was completely out of the question. It’ll always be a shame how awful sales levels were for a few years in the 2000s. Honestly given how big a hit Love Machine felt like in 2004, if today’s sales levels were applied to it, it probably would have been Gold within months, rather than 16 years!

 

I hope it’s not long until Call the Shots is Gold too... based on information we received last year it was on target for gold in January 2020, so its weekly average must have lowered a bit unfortunately.

FINALLY!!! :D

 

Their next certifications should be:

 

Biology - Silver

The Promise - Platinum

Call The Shots - Gold

 

In what order is anyone's guess...

 

Looks like I got the last one wrong (I bet CTS gets certified Gold next week now). :lol:

 

Love Machine seems to be a good trickle seller for them, I wouldn't be surprised if it passed the 400k mark before Call The Shots, Something Kinda Ooooh and Jump do! :P

 

Oh, that’s more like it! :kink:

 

Great to see Love Machine Pass the 400k mark. I can see it possibly overtaking The Promise eventually.

Agreed! They definitely are their top three in terms of cultural impact so I'm happy to see them as their three best sellers.

 

Now 'Call the Shots' joins them just a week later! :wub:

Cheryl's biggest hits revealed by the OCC:

 

If there's one thing Cheryl cannot be faulted on, it's her dependability to deliver an incredible live show. Following last year's main stage performance at Manchester Pride alongside Ariana Grande, she's back on the road this summer for more outdoor shows, including a headline slot Mighty Hoopla festival.

 

The London festival, which takes places on June 6, brings together the best pure pop's present and past, from Atomic Kitten, Gabrielle, Alphabeat and Anastacia to Allie X and Becky Hill. Sister Sledge and UK garge icon Lisa Maffia are among the latest acts to join the bill.

 

To celebrate this Cherylaissance, we're revealing her biggest hits, based on UK sales and streams using Official Charts Company data.

 

Cheryl's debut single from 2009, Fight For This Love, finishes top of the pile, with an impressive 1.2 million chart sales, made up of 1.05 milion pure sales and 16.6 million streams. Anticipation around Cheryl's first post-Girls Aloud release was sky-high at the time: her appointment as judge on the The X Factor, the UK's most popular show at the time, had quickly turned her into the nation's sweetheart. Fight For This Love landed straight in at Number 1, spent two weeks at the top and finished as the fourth best-selling single of 2009.

 

As evidenced in her all-time Top 10, Cheryl is best when she's in banger territory; and her second biggest single is probably the banger-iest of them all, 2012's Call My Name. The ballsy, neon-bright dance stomper - produced by Calvin Harris - launched Cheryl's third album A Million Lights and became her third Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart. It's chart sales to date stand at 557,000.

 

In third place is Crazy Stupid Love (524,000), a Number 1 hit in 2014 and Cheryl's most-streamed song with 19.2 million plays, while 2010 chart-topper Promise This is fourth on 474,000 chart sales. Her fifth and most recent Number 1 single, I Don't Care, places sixth on 368,000 chart sales.

 

Beyond the (many) chart-toppers, Top 5 hit Parachute - the third single from her debut album 3 Words - is fifth, and her will.i.am collaboration Heartbreaker, released while she was still in Girls Aloud, is eighth.

 

Narrowly missing out on a place in the Top 10 is Cheryl's comeback track Love Made Me Do It, a Top 20 in 2018, while her most popular album track is Heaven, another will.i.am collab from her debut album.

The perfect track to properly launch her solo career. It’s genius listening to it and thinking of where was romantically at the time.

 

And that X Factor performance too!
