Posted July 19, 200817 yr Does anyone know what Madonna's Best Selling UK Single is? Sometimes I hear that it is, 'Into The Groove', & at other times I'm told it is, 'Like A Virgin'. 'HOLIDAY' How many did this Single sell in the UK? It reached No.6 in 1984 - so what was its 1984 Sale? How many did it sell in 1985, when it reached No.2? Or in 1991, when it was a No.5 Hit? Can anyone give the Sales for it, for each of those Years?
July 20, 200816 yr I may be wrong, but i'm pretty sure her best selling single is Crazy for You with around 800,000 sales. Some people say it's Into the Groove though. I think it depends on who you ask. But i can tell you It's definalty NOT Holdiay :D Edited July 20, 200816 yr by Glyn
July 20, 200816 yr It's Into The Groove - just under 800,000 copies sold. Holiday is 2nd thanks to its three visits to the Top Ten, with over 650,000 copies sold. Crazy For You is third. That's what I've been told anyway :D Plus, apparently, Hung Up is No.5 on the list of Madonna's biggest selling UK singles
July 20, 200816 yr I'm not sure about Hung Up, I think 'Frozen' and 'Beautiful Stranger' sold close to 500k, when Hung Up only sold about 300k.
July 20, 200816 yr I'm not sure about Hung Up, I think 'Frozen' and 'Beautiful Stranger' sold close to 500k, when Hung Up only sold about 300k. Hung Up sold 503,000 (apparently), but I know Frozen & Beautiful Stranger sold around 490,000, so they would be close :unsure:
July 25, 200816 yr I thought it was Like A Prayer. I'm sure that was mentioned when the 100 Best-Selling Singles ever show was on Channel 4. (She along with the Stones was featured before the ad breaks as a surprising omission.)
August 9, 200816 yr Author I asked the same question at chc Media Forums, & someone called Lucy Goosie, gave a List of Madonna's Best Selling UK Singles - with Sales.

August 9, 200816 yr Amazing single sales for Madonna. There are very few if any artists who can match a record of sales like that. Even Kylie hasnt sold as much with her singles and she has had numerous hits.
