Roughly 63 weeks since the last Slow Hands update of 1,041,000 in mid-June 2020, so that's around 159,000 sold, an average of 2524 sales a week. Pretty consistent with my last estimate - I had Slow Hands crossing 2x plat in Sept 2021 and this week's chart date is 2nd Sept!

 

(on that note, Dusk Till Dawn must be close now to 2x plat, and the next one after that will be 2x plat for Sign of the Times, aside from any potential album tracks reaching silver)

2xP for SOTT, 89k sold since March

Dusk Till Dawn also 2x plat!

I mean, yes, they're still considered to be "chart sales" - it's just a term even if the meaning's changed somewhat :P

 

 

I won't say anything because I love you Joseph :P :wub:

Updated for the past 2 weeks. With SOTT and Dusk Till Dawn crossing 2x plat, I thought it might be a good idea to look at the top 10 biggest selling solo singles. Most recent sales figures are listed and the date they come from is in square brackets.

Cherry silver!

Cherry silver!

 

 

I didn't think this was released as a single? How can it be certified?

Any song can be certified!

For the first week since the chart broadcast on 4th October (the week before Nice to Meet Ya debuted and 2 weeks before Lights Up), there are no songs charting by 1D members right now! :o

We've got our first Falling update in a few months, it's over 900k! Another million "seller" not far off :cheer:

 

No Control was quietly certified silver last week too! Another certified album track :D

Polaroid is now Platinum. 600k

 

Waiting for Walls certification now... its time!!

That's good going! Taken just two years to go from gold to platinum. It's Liam's fourth platinum single, only Harry (5) has more.

Thanks for the sales update, really cant see any future single toppling watermelon sugar from number 1 in their solo releases. Shame it never went number 1 for Harry, ideally slow hands will overtake strip that down and pillowtalk.

I'd say it's more likely that Sign of the Times will overtake them all at some point! (Watermelon Sugar aside of course)

Story of My Life 2x Platinum, 200k sold in 1 year...

1.2m

 

 

I'm sure DMD has crossed 1.1m but there's no updates.

 

:cheer:

Great news!! That means it's overtaken History to be their 2nd biggest hit :o (though History's 2x plat can't be far off)

 

As far as Drag Me Down goes, I'd estimated that would've passed 1m this month. I'm not sure I quite see it being as high as 1.1m just yet!

To expand on the Story of My Life figure, it's sold 200,000 in the last 66 weeks. That's an average of 3030 sales a week (very roughly speaking). At this rate, 3x platinum will be in August 2025 :magic:

 

Elsewhere, Watermelon Sugar re-enters the top 100 thanks to Strictly *.* It'll cross 1.6m next week!

Niall's "Too Much To Ask" was certified as GOLD.

 

400k

 

:wub:

Too Much to Ask went silver on 30th March 2018. In 192 weeks, it's sold 200,000, so ~1041 copies a week. August 2025 for platinum at that rate, not too bad for a song that didn't feel huge at the time.

 

It's also Niall's 4th biggest seller still, for the time being, but Our Song will overtake before long.
