He's had two songs over 3 million - didn't think 'Budapest' was that big.

Budapest had over 40 weeks in the Top 40 - I'm glad it's continued to stream well too.

Also good to see Pretty Shining People well on the way to 1 million, even though Green Green Grass will get there first.

Good to see that it’s going to be a long time until GGG troubles the Top 5, although the way it’s going it might well eventually. :arrr:

 

Blame It On Me is my favourite of his - good to see that has decent streams.

I would have thought GGG would be top 5 by end of either this year or if not some time next year, those figures are 2.5 months old, it's still selling well and prob be big all over summer again, sorry!

'Listen To The Man' is my favourite. I'm still salty that peaked at #41 :(

I knew 'Shoutgun' was gigantic of course, but I didn't think it was close to 4million gigantic!

Maybe it's just because its success was quickly dwarfed by 'Shotgun' but wow those are much higher sales than I'd have guessed for 'Paradise'.

 

'Anyone For You (Tiger Lily)' already outselling 'Don't Matter Now' though - that was really quite an anomalously floppy comeback/lead single in retrospect. (Aw at 'Cassy O'' also missing the top 10 here in favour of an album track).
