Loves Got a Hold on My Heart in last position is about the only result I agree with on the results to date.

Love's Got a Hold on My Heart is probably my least favourite of the five too, but I still really like it.

UK first week sales / sales within the year of release / total sales as of May 2021

 

140,000 first week / 393,000 in 1998 / 484,000 total One for Sorrow

139,500 first week / 336,400 in 1999 / 381,500 total Better Best Forgotten

102,000 first week / 289,400 in 1999 / 337,500 total Love's Got a Hold on My Heart

108,000 first week / 253,550 in 2001 / 324,500 total Chain Reaction

52,000 first week / 174,630 in 2001 / 282,500 total It's the Way You Make Me Feel

 

Increases since their years of release:

 

~108,000 - It's the Way You Make Me Feel

~91,000 - One for Sorrow

~71,000 - Chain Reaction

~48,000 - Love's Got a Hold on My Heart

~45,000 - Better Best Forgotten

 

Interestingly It's the Way You Make Me Feel appears to have gone on to be their most remembered #2 hit, despite the lower sales at the time. Better Best Forgotten is apparently better best forgotten by the public (relatively speaking) :whistle:

Better best forgotten had great sales considering it was a 5th single from an album that had sold over a million by the time it was released. I hope in general their singles sales continue to increase, sales in general when steps were huge were going through a low point but in context of sales at that time they had so many big hits, its good that they also had hugely successful albums aswell.
