April 10, 20242 yr Author 10 Mann/50 Cent 28,080 11 Beyonce 27,919 This is another one that shocks me! Beyonce was about 160 copies short of getting a top 10 hit with 'Run the World (Girls)'. Though, a few months later she managed #3 with BTYNH despite it selling the same amount of copies as #4. 3 Beyonce 51,365 4 Calvin Harris/Kelis 51,365
April 10, 20242 yr Author That's unusual with Beyoncé, Calvin and Kelis that week! I was looking at the sales thread from the time and no one seemed to pick up on the tied sales - not even the chart commentator. :lol:

November 4, 20241 yr Author So what separated them in the end? Was it just alphabetically? Not entirely sure. :lol: Maybe it was decided on who had the biggest week-on-week increase? (just a guess) @Roba good one with the 5H stat. :o Never knew the sales were so close there.
