1.240m Jessie J - Price Tag

1.120m The Beatles - Hey Jude (93k behind Jessie J)

The OCC can't count.

Perhaps due to rounding errors?

 

Price tag 1.235 and Hey Jude 1.124 followed by a transposition error to give 1.142.

1.235 - 1.142 = 0.093m or 93,000. The OCC need a new calculator.

I did terrible. I got 4 right.

 

 

Some of them are far too close for the casual chart fan to know with trickle sales having an effect.

Surely the sales figure for Billie Jean they quote has to be incorrect; it was certified for sales of 500,000 in 1983 alone.

I only got 10! Fair play to them for making it as challenging as possible with songs that are quite close in sales, for most of the questions anyway.

 

 

It bothers me that "Sing" hasn't outsold "Burn".

This has now been updated on OCC website.

 

It's not about the money, money, money, but it *is* about the sales. Jessie leads Hey Jude by over 111,000 sales – 1.24 million vs 1.12 million.

 

Allowing for rounding errors it could be 1.2363 - 1.1249 = 1.1114. There are other mathematical combinations no doubt.

 

Price tag - 1,236,300

Hey Jude - 1,124,900
