This certification for 'Paradise' appears to include the 118k of ineligible sales. It sold 528k (including the 118k) in 2011, 377k in 2012 and 108k in 2013, putting its total at 1.013m, so 187k sold since 2013.

 

I'd guess 'Your Song' sold ~200k in 1971, which would put its total at 600k (including the 2002 re-release, which sold 74k).

 

'Right Round' sold 436k in 2009; 164k sold since.

 

'Wings' sold 396k in 2012; 204k sold since.

 

'Beautiful' sold 41k in 2003; 159k sold since.

 

'Over My Head (Cable Car)' sold 62k in 2007 with an unknown amount sold beforehand, so ~138k sold since.

 

Never Forget: The Ultimate Collection appeared in the Top 200 Year End from 2005 to 2012:

 

2005: 755k

2006: 353k

2007: 355k

2008: 247k

2009: 190k

2010: 154k

2011: 131k

2012: 65k

 

That leaves 150k for 2013 to now.

Led Zeppelin is understandable as they only ever officially released one song as a single in the UK (in 1997!). Beach Boys however I am surprised about, I'm assuming it only counted sales post-downloads?

'I Love You Always Forever' sold 340k in 1996; 60k sold since.

 

'When I'm Gone' sold 100k by the end of 2006 (52k in 2005; 48k in 2006); 100k sold since.

 

'Just a Day' sold ~50k in 2001 with a further ~15k sold in 2002; ~125k sold since.

 

'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)' sold 425k by the end of 2012; 175k sold since.

 

'I'm Not Okay (I Promise)' sold just over 25k by the end of 2005; ~175k sold since.

 

'About You Now' sold 453k by the end of 2008 (346k in 2007; 107k in 2008); 147k sold since.

 

All Over the World: The Best of ELO sold 422k by the end of 2007, passed 600k in 2011 and 900k in 2015.

 

Whitney's The Ultimate Collection has appeared in each EOY Chart from 2007-2015:

 

2007: 438,000

2008: 110,000 (548,000)

2009: 157,000 (705,000)

2010: 147,000 (852,000)

2011: 83,000 (935,000)

2012: 149,000 (1,084,000)

2013: 61,000 (1,145,000)

2014: 106,000 (1,251,000)

2015: 76,000 (1,327,000)

 

That leaves 173k for 2016 and 2017. It's sold 32k since re-entering at #18 in February of this year so clearly it should have appeared in the Top 100 EOY for 2016 - I'm guessing the fact it appeared on the budget chart at some points in the year meant it was excluded.

'Make You Feel My Love' sold 757k by the end of 2011 (including 352k in 2010 and 325k in 2011); 443k sold since.

 

'Thinking Out Loud' sold 1.926m by the end of 2015 (1.010m in 2014 and 916k in 2015); 474k sold since.

 

'Dare' sold 180k by the end of 2006 (149k in 2005 and 31k in 2006); 220k sold since.

 

'Radioactive' sold 738k by the end of 2014 (36k in 2012; 437k in 2013; 265k in 2014); 462k sold since.

 

'Love You More' sold 286k in 2010; 114k sold since.

 

Hard to get a fixed estimate for the original sales of 'Under Pressure' but, given it had a total of 843k (even if some disagree with this figure) as of just before his death and was revealed to be his sixth biggest song since his death (3rd was 'Space Oddity' with 113k), one can assume its sales now stand at 900k+.

 

Similarly, it's hard to find original estimates for 'Hey Jude' that people agree on but, as Ben says, its total probably stands at ~1,150k now.

 

'Breathless' sold 288k in 2000; 112k sold since.

 

'You Got the Love' has a 2006 release date according to the BPI (which was when one of its re-releases occurred), but I think it includes sales of the 1997 re-release too. The song sold 227k in 1991; 627k sold to date.

19 May 2017

 

'Without You' sold 490k by the end of 2012 (347k + 143k); 110k sold since.

'From Paris to Berlin' sold 308k in 2006; 92k sold since.

 

'If You Had My Love' sold 321k in 1999; 79k sold since.

 

'ET' sold 419k in 2011 plus trickle sales in 2010, so a maximum of 181k sold since.

 

'Singin' in the Rain' sold ~158k by the end of 2007 (including 133k in 2007); 42k sold since. Means 27 #1 songs of the 21st century still remain uncertified:

'Promiscuous' sold 142k in 2006; 258k sold since.

 

'Champagne Supernova' - infamously just an album track - is now Oasis' 11th best selling song, outselling four #1s: 'All Around the World', 'The Hindu Times', 'Lyla' and 'The Importance of Being Idle'.

 

'My Girl' originally reached #43 upon release in 1965 and didn't become a chart hit until 1992 when it reached #2 and sold 268k. Only including sales since its 1992 re-release, 'My Girl' has sold 468k to date.

'Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous' sold 58k in 2003; 142k sold since. (FYI, 'Girls & Boys' sold 57k in 2003, so may not be far off a Silver certification either, although I see it has streams of 18m compared to the 36m of 'Lifestyles...').

09 June 2017

 

Of the 600k total of 'One Last Time', 327k of that was sold in 2015.

 

'Love On Top' sold 266k by the end of 2012 (104k + 162k); 334k sold since.

 

'Small Bump' sold 146k in 2012 plus an unknown amount of sales in 2011; maximum of 254k sold since.

 

'Beat Again' sold 459k in 2009; 141k sold since.

 

'Work It' sold 70k in 2002; 130k sold since.

 

Oasis singles seem to be particularly affected by the revision of mid 90s sales so it's hard to say what they've sold since their original run. I do know that, as of February 2010, 'Don't Look Back in Anger' was on 805k and 'Roll With It' was on 485k. In October 2016, pure sales stood at 948k and 520k respectively, which means ~250k and ~80k of their totals are made up of streams. As for 'Songbird', 92k was sold in 2003; 108k sold since.

 

'Karma Police' sold less than the required 80k to reach the Top 200 of 1997, so over 120k sold since.

 

'Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)' sold 96k in 2001; 504k sold since.

Didn't expect Love on Top to go platinum in the first half of 2017. Almost 2.1k on average since it went gold in July 2015.
