Posted August 14, 200717 yr Right :angry: I have a feud with someone going on at the moment, about who is the biggest selling Artist in the UK in the 21st Century. Can someone with Chart Knowledge, back me up when i say its the 'Sugababes'. They have beaten the likes of Britney and Madonna in terms of Sales in the 21st Century surely? (In the UK Of course).
August 14, 200717 yr Do you mean singles? There is a list somewhere on here for them. :P As far as albums go, Robbie is number one, with Coldplay number two. Here it the 2005 list for albums, but it does'nt include 'Best Of's or Live albums. 1 Robbie 6.3m 2 Coldplay 6.2m 3 Dido 5.7m 4 Eminen 4.8m 5 Westlife 4.2m 6 Norah Jones 3.3m 7 Blue 3.3m 8 Anastacia 3.1m 9 Stereophonics 2.8m 10 Oasis 2.6m 11 Kylie 2.5m 12 Pink 2.5m 13 Craig David 2.5m 14 Will Young 2.5m 15 Scissor Sisters 2.5m 16 Keane 2.5m 17 Ronan 2.5m 18 U2 2.4m 19 Avril 2.2m 20 S Club 2.1m 21 Busted 2.1m 22 Watson 2m 23 RHCP 2m 24 Madonna 1.98m 25 Sugarbabes 1.9m 26 Katie M 1.9m 27 Britney 1.9m 28 D. Bedingfield 1.8m 29 Linkin Park 1.8m 30 Atomic Kitten 1.8m
August 14, 200717 yr Author I mean singles and albums combined. I'm sure i found out it was the Sugababes from somewhere.
August 14, 200717 yr I'd like to know how much people sell including albums, i hate when single sales never get included :(
August 14, 200717 yr Author Oh, i just found out, they are indeed the biggest Selling Female Artists in the UK. Since the 21st Century But not overall :lol: Oh well, me proved wrong :(
August 14, 200717 yr I mean singles and albums combined. I'm sure i found out it was the Sugababes from somewhere. No, I do recall it being mentioned that they were the best selling girl band of the 21st Century, or something to do with top 10 hits. :unsure:
August 14, 200717 yr Are you talking about sales just since January? Edited August 14, 200717 yr by munchkin
August 14, 200717 yr Author This is what i was referring to. in 2006 The Sugababes were named the UK all-female act of the 21st century from British Hit Singles And Albums, beating international acts such as Britney Spears and Madonna. I just got mixed up with Overall :P
August 14, 200717 yr Scotty I don't know where you got your figures but Will's album sales, to date, are 3,450,047. He's sold almost 7million singles and albums combined. As I said, those figs are only up to late 2005 :P
August 14, 200717 yr Radio 1 said Sugababes have sold 2 million singles and 5 million albums, but this might be europe total.... Their UK album sales are 220k 890k 830k 860k 500k Total - 3.3million Theyre maybe the biggest selling female act, but theres male acts and bands far ahead of them
August 14, 200717 yr Are you talking about sales just since January? It is a 2005 list. You should read it first ;) :lol:
August 14, 200717 yr As I said, those figs are only up to late 2005 :P Yes sorry - I amended my post :D
August 14, 200717 yr There was a radio 1 chart show thing last year which had the top 20 British Singles Acts of the decade so far. Will was #1, Gareth #2, Atomic Kitten #3, S Club 7 #4, can't remember much more though Sugababes were in the top 10. I know it doesn't include American artists etc but still that's my 50 pence worth. :teresa:
August 14, 200717 yr I'd suspect though that the #1 of albums and singles combined would either be Blobby, Dildo, Borah Jones or Westlife. What a fabulous decade. :manson:

August 14, 200717 yr Author 120. Maneater - Nelly Furtado [1]296,000 Maneater has sold MUCH more than that now.
August 14, 200717 yr Maneater has sold MUCH more than that now. I think that list seriously need an update :)
August 14, 200717 yr I think that list seriously need an update :) Well obviously someone must have a lot of time on their hands :lol:
August 14, 200717 yr This is what i was referring to. in 2006 The Sugababes were named the UK all-female act of the 21st century from British Hit Singles And Albums, beating international acts such as Britney Spears and Madonna. I just got mixed up with Overall :P That's not based on sales. It's based on how many top 75 singles they have had. Technically another female artist could have 20 singles that all reached #75 and they would have that feat.
