No - I'm afraid that The OCC have the Top 300 of the 1980's, & they will decide when/if we can

see it. (Or part of it). The Top 400 of the 1970's is almost finished too. I hear.

As is the Top 250 of the 1960's. ;)

Does anybody have any sales for laura branigan " self control"? :D
Self Control was the 30th best seller of 1984 in the year end chart published at the time. I can only guess at the sale but it must be over 300,000.

 

I know cyndi laupers girls just want to have fun sold 380,000 copies and that was below that so maybe it was 390,000 copies.
Does anybody know the sales of tina turners lets stay together and we don't need another hero? :D
how does this compare to the top40 80s thread just started? Do they need a merge perhaps?
Back to the 80's-I think saving all my love for you did sell over 500,000 cos it sold more than dead or alives you spin me round which sold just over 500,000.Ashford and simpsons solid also sold more than dead or alive which should put it in the top 160 of the 80's.

In my Top 300 UK Singles of the 1980's List, I have 'Save Your Love' at No.32 - 760,000.

I have 'Solid' at No.169 - 482,000. I have 'You Spin Me Round' at No.179 - 470,000.

 

I'm sure that any of us, who tried to estimate a Top 300 of the 1980's, would come up with

Lists that have different places for many Hits - and different estimated Sales.

'One Of Us' is at No.170 in my Top 300 - 480,000 Sales. I was going to estimate 520,000 Sales

- which would have had it in 144th place. However, I decided to go for the lower figure.

Here are Madonna's 20 biggest selling singles from the 80's (sales are from release date to the present day)

3 Holiday - 752,968

4 Crazy For You - 662,481

5 Papa Don't Preach - 629,386

8 La Isla Bonita 421,760

9 Material Girl - 389,999

17 Angel - 198,650

18 Express Yourself - 194,102

19 Cherish - 192,891

20 Open Your Heart - 186,742

I'm surprised open your heart didnt sell more-Are those figures accurate cos they're higher than what i've got?

The MRIB compiled a top 300 selling singles of the 80's, unfortunatley I dont have the top 50. It differs considerably from the Gallup/OCC chart of the 80's. But gives an idea of what would feature in there if there was an official one.
