Applause is at 530k units, DWUW at 383k (sounds way too little?) and ARTPOP at 256k according to OCC

The Official Charts Company released a statement explaining that the song would be allowed to chart only after the associated album's pre-order offer ended. The rules of the Official Chart Company "allow one 'instant grat' promotion per album, i.e a single track download given away as an album pre-order incentive. 'Do What U Want' is the second track [following 'Applause']to be delivered to fans who pre-order Artpop". Thus the song was not eligible to enter the chart until the promotion finished and the album was released.

 

That's why DWUW has these sales but its sales are higher than shown.

 

Such a very stupid rule, since Justin Bieber currently releases like 10 singles before his album drop and all songs are allowed to enter the chart. :rolleyes:

They changed the rule shortly after DWUW didn't they? Silly rule as you say though!

Does this seem correct to you?

I think they've just collected various information that's been made available. Most of those figures are from the big update that was posted in this thread in May 2020.

That’s because ‘millionaires’ include streaming units, so it will always be more in favour of recent artists.

As ‘millionaires’ combine pure sales and streams here is the list of female artists with the most million-sellers in the UK which are pure sales (CD singles and downloads)

 

4 - Rihanna

3 - Adele

2 - Celine Dion, Katy Perry, Kylie, Lady Gaga, Spice Girls

One year since her UK catalog sales update, can we have a new one? It's time!
