Posted September 11, 20186 yr David Guetta's Official Top 40 biggest songs in the UK revealed 11 September 2018 | By Jack White David Guetta has been turning out Top 40 party hits for 15 years, but which ones finish top of the pile? For the last 15 years, David Guetta has rarely strayed from the Official Singles Chart. The French DJ has notched up an impressive 37 UK Top 40 hits, to date, landing his first in 2006 with Love Don't Let Me Go. This week he releases his seventh studio album - aptly titled 7 - his first full length in four years. It features a monster 27 tracks, comprising of two sides, with one dedicated to David's new house-ier alter-ego Jack Back. Below are Guetta's Top 40 biggest hits on the Official UK Chart, based on sales and streams combined. But first, some highlights... 30. Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away) After a handful of minor brushes with the Official Chart in the early '00s, 2006 saw Guetta land his big breakthrough with a remix of his debut single Love Don't Let Me Go with DJ Tocadisco's remix of The Egg's Walking Away. Boosted by a feature spot on a car advert and Guetta's own increased profile, the song peaked at Number 3 and launched him to worldwide fame. 9. 2U It took until June 2017 David Guetta and Justin Bieber to unite, and result is David's second-biggest streaming hit with 55.8 million plays across all major services. Adding in 80,000 downloads, 2U ranks as his ninth biggest single. 5. Where Them Girls At This 2011 single was to be the first of many, many collaborations between Guetta, Flo Rida and/or Nicki Minaj. Serving as the lead single from his Nothing But The Beat album, pumping party anthem Where Them Girls At peaked at Number 3 and places fifth on his all-time chart, with 532,000 downloads and 20.2 million streams since records began in 2014. Flo Rida pops up again in David's Top 10 as a lead artist on chart topper Club Can't Handle Me at Number 4, while Nicki makes three further appearances in the Top 40: Hey Mama (7), Turn Me On (11), and Light My Body Up (38). 3. When Love Takes Over When Love Takes Over was as much a turning point for Guetta's career as it was for its collaborator. It was his first big-name hook-up and it gave him his first UK Number 1 single, while simultaneously transforming Kelly from R&B crooner to dancefloor diva. Its combined sales stand at 841,000 to rank as his third biggest single, split between 668,000 downloads, 16.6 million streams and 12,600 copies on CD (!). The duo's follow-up collab, Commander, also appears in the Top 40 at Number 27. 2. Sexy Chick How do you follow a hugely successful Number 1 single? Deliver an even bigger one of course! Teaming up with Akon in 2009, David threw a massive pool party (he has a lot of female friends, you see) and released Sexy Chick, a very - ahem - of-the-times ode to the female form. Questionable lyrics on the explicit version aside, the radio edit was inescapable, and has logged 772,000 downloads and 21.8 million streams. 1. Titanium The song that thrust Sia into the commercial pop world, Titanium is both Guetta's most purchased and streamed release. A Number 1 in 2012 and a million-seller, it's total combined sales stand at 1.9 million, split between 1.3 million downloads and 56 million streams. It was to be the first of many collaborations between the two: Bang My Head is David's thirteenth biggest smash, 2018 single Flames is at 14, and 2012's She Wolf (Falling To Pieces) howls at 18.

September 11, 20186 yr Sexy Chick is still a banger tbh, glad to see Just One Last Time doing relatively well too (it’s definitley become one of his songs I go back to most) Four Sia collabs in his Top 20 is great to see too :wub: Less thrilled at 2U being so high only due to streaming but whatever
September 11, 20186 yr They picked out '2U', one of his most non-eventful songs, as a 'highlight'? :lol: I guess it's cos Bieber but still. 'She Wolf (Falling To Pieces)' is wayyyy too low, can't believe that's the lowest of his Sia collabs when it's by far the best IMO :/ (I guess 'Bang My Head' got to benefit more from streams which is helping it out but still). 'Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)' is still my favourite song by Guetta but obviously expected that to be low down considering the time it was released. My second fave Guetta song - 'Sweat' - has been left off completely, maybe they're only counting it as a Snoop Dogg song for whatever reason. Would surely be in at least the top 10.
September 12, 20186 yr 39 ONE LOVE DAVID GUETTA FT ESTELLE 46 2009 Happy to see this one feature even if it's almost out. Anyone know how much it's sold? Wish Baby When The Light was there too </3
September 12, 20186 yr Author 39 ONE LOVE DAVID GUETTA FT ESTELLE 46 2009 Happy to see this one feature even if it's almost out. Anyone know how much it's sold? At a guess, about 50/60k? I agree it's one of my faves too, I remember seeing it on the music channels and wishing it could have been as big as the hits that surrounded it.
September 12, 20186 yr Titanium is his best hit for me but surprised love don’t let me go is only no30. That was a great track and did well at the time peaking in T3 but I guess it was before the streaming era.
September 12, 20186 yr No sign of the original Love Don't Let Me Go (not the mash-up). I like that one.
September 12, 20186 yr Sales were low when Love Don’t Let Me Go’ was a hit sadly. It’s a shame as it should be in his Top 10 at the very least!
September 12, 20186 yr 'She Wolf' and 'Love Don't Let Me Go' are my favourite on that list; I wish the latter in particular was much higher (even if the original is far superior). Surprised 'Bang My Head' is almost top 10, it really didn't seem that big at the time. Edited September 12, 20186 yr by Defaze
