January 9Jan 9 Cruel Summer was not above a million last year. Blinding Lights didn’t manage it either Someone You Loved (2019 & 2020) and Perfect (2017 & 2018) are the two other examples I can think of as well as Bad Habits Edit: Dance Monkey also did it in 2019 & 2020 Edited January 9Jan 9 by Maestro

So quite a rare occurrence then, and not since 2021/22? I can’t see anything managing it for 2024/25 even with the increasing streams!?
January 9Jan 9 Author Thanks for the info! So quite a rare occurrence then, and not since 2021/22? I can’t see anything managing it for 2024/25 even with the increasing streams!? Not impossible but a tall order. You’d need to average 19,200 chart sales per week. Of last year’s millionaires “Birds Of A Feather” was the highest in Week 1 of 2025 with around 28,000 sales, so there isn’t a huge margin for decline there. “Beautiful Things” seems to have incredible longevity but that’s only opened with about 24,000 so even less scope for decline.
