That's 6,700 since the (probably rounded up or down) figure of 530,000, which was revealed back in February 2013.

I'm currently watching the Top 50 biggest selling movie songs of the 21st century on Magic, and they have 'Jump' at 24. Its sales were 250,000.

 

For anyone who's interested, there's a repeat on 4music at 9:30 am this Sunday. I saw most of this on Wednesday, so I can try and provide some sales if requested.

I thought Call The Shots would have sold much more considering it had an amazing chart run! :(

That's 2007 for you! At the time it sold really well for a #3, and it really did come across like a very big hit for them.

 

Call The Shots was Year End #59 in 2007 (126,500 sales) and Year End #84 in 2008 (123,000), so just under 250,000 by the end of 2008. Whereas (using 2012/2013 as examples)... Year End #59 in 2012 = 331,400 sales & #84 in 2013 = 234,100 = 565,500 sales... so that roughly demonstrates how big it was in today's terms.

Well then that was amazing!

Hey just to say the jump figure on front page needs updating (was 250k in Nov 13 countdown as posted above by outstandingmike)

 

Nice list haven't looked at in ages, wonder how much higher they'd have been in another era - could see the sats overtake them someday which in terms of prominence and cultural impact doesnt seem quite right!

 

 

'Parachute' has been certified Gold by the BPI this week, which means it has now sold 400k in the UK.

Great stuff! I think the estimate for 'Parachute' back in early 2011 was nearing 370,000, so that's around 30,000 in 3 years. Rather great that she's had 4 singles sell 400k+ out of her 7 solo singles (or 8 if we count 'Heartbreaker'). Let's hope her eventual comeback single will be another big seller!

 

I think the GA group+solo best sellers might look something like this now?

Some real dreck by Cheryl outselling the GA greats. :(

Jay, I think your list pretty much about right, but surely 'Something Kinda Ooooh' is still easily ahead of 'Jump'?! I'd imagine it's sold more than 10k in the last 4 years.

33. Insatiable

34. Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me

#4s from 2005 outselling #2s from 2012 are quite rare.

Very likely that it's ahead, indeed! *Swaps*

I'd love for some updated sales figures! Loads of their singles were being cherry-picked when the album and tour happened last year. And Something New has been consistently in the 'pop chart' since it's release.

I'm sure Beautiful Cause You Love Me has some impressive trickle sales. Must've been #1501 on the pop chart for well over a year now? :unsure:
