Do you have figures for the top 100 singles of the 2020s to date?

No. Maestro did this estimated Top 25 which isn’t far off where I’d have put them.

 

1 The Weeknd - Blinding Lights (4.56m)

2 Ed Sheeran - Bad Habits (3.89m)

3 Lewis Capaldi - Someone You Loved (3.49m)

4 The Killers - Mr. Brightside (3.18m)

5 Wham! - Last Christmas (3.09m)

6 Harry Styles - As It Was (3.04m)

7 Glass Animals - Heat Waves (3.03m)

8 Tones and I - Dance Monkey (2.99m)

9 Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas is You (2.92m)

10 Ed Sheeran - Shivers (2.89m)

11 Joel Corry feat. MNEK - Head & Heart (2.85m)

12 Harry Styles - Watermelon Sugar (2.69m)

13 The Weeknd - Save Your Tears (2.66m)

14 Olivia Rodrigo - good 4 u (2.57m)

15 Lewis Capaldi - Before You Go (2.55m)

16 Noah Kahan - Stick Season (2.52m)

17 Dua Lipa feat. DaBaby - Levitating (2.50m)

18 Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now (2.48m)

19 Elton John & Dua Lipa - Cold Heart (PNAU Remix) (2.47m)

20 Ed Sheeran - Perfect (2.45m)

21 Fleetwood Mac - Dreams (2.38m)

22 Vance Joy - Riptide (2.38m)

23 Tom Odell - Another Love (2.38m)

24 Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere (2.29m)

25 Adele - Easy On Me (2.25m)

Now im confused

Gezza you’re not continuing with this?

 

No. Maestro did this estimated Top 25 which isn’t far off where I’d have put them.

 

20 Ed Sheeran - Perfect (2.45m)

21 Fleetwood Mac - Dreams (2.38m)

22 Vance Joy - Riptide (2.38m)

23 Tom Odell - Another Love (2.38m)

24 Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere (2.29m)

25 Adele - Easy On Me (2.25m)

 

I revised these figures slightly since posting this, would now be:

 

 

20 Ed Sheeran - Perfect (2.45m)

21 Vance Joy - Riptide (2.40m)

22 Tom Odell - Another Love (2.38m)

23 Fleetwood Mac - Dreams (2.37m)

24 Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere (2.29m)

25 Adele - Easy On Me (2.25m)

 

 

A top 100 would be insanely hard to estimate, but I might give a top 50 a go. We'll see

 

I did think about updating this but I reckon it would require too much work, particularly for 2023 when I wasn’t tracking the album sales.

do you have the updated version of top 10 or 15 albums?thank u

 

So decade end predictions?

 

Killers around 7m

Wham 6.5m

Mariah 5.8m-ish?

Weeknd somewhere in fourth?

 

That sound about right?

I'm working on something albums wise to the end of 2024.

Yes!!!
