June 14, 200916 yr In my Top 300 Singles of the 1980's, I have the Top 246 selling 400,000 - or more - copies. Other people - who estimated, (mainly), the Top 300 of the 1980's, may well decide that more than 246 Singles sold 400,000, or more. Then again - they may decide that less than 246 Singles managed it.
June 14, 200916 yr In my Top 300 Singles of the 1980's, I have the Top 246 selling 400,000 - or more - copies. When you have free time, could you please post your Top-300 of the dear old 80's? Thanks in advance.
June 21, 200916 yr Madonna? I've never heard of her! Is it her who sang, 'Mama Don't Screech', 'Young Pup', & 'Rogue'? Like I said - never heard of the Woman! Was she in that Musical - 'Ryvita'?
June 27, 200916 yr Due to the sad passing of the king of pop michael jackson-does anyone have the sales of his 80's hits? :wacko:
June 27, 200916 yr As ALL of his Hits are Selling once again - as Downloads - there is no point - at this stage - in trying to work out how many his Hits sold in the 1980's. I know someone at The OCC. I'll ask him if The OCC will compile Michael's Top 30, (or Top 50), UK Best Selling Singles/Songs, for the UK Media/Chart Fans. It may be best for any such List to be compiled later in 2009 - when the current level of his Downloads have had time to drop a bit. So that the bulk of his Downloads - June, July, & August, can be added in.....

July 6, 200916 yr Does anyone have the sales for irene caras flashdance what a feeling?It was certified silver which suggests it sold over 250,000 but it is also listed as gold on other sites claiming it sold over 400,000 copies. :D :D
July 6, 200916 yr Does anyone have the sales for irene caras flashdance what a feeling?It was certified silver which suggests it sold over 250,000 but it is also listed as gold on other sites claiming it sold over 400,000 copies. :D :D The reason Flashdance is showing up as certified gold on some sites is because after 1989 gold certification required 400,000 copies however before this it was 500,000 and they just haven't took this in to account. So it could well have sold 400,000+ and still be certified silver as it was released in 1983 Edited July 6, 200916 yr by Will71

July 17, 200915 yr Did anyone find out the top 50 best selling singles by female solo artists in the uk in the 80's? :D
July 17, 200915 yr Here is a chart of solo women of the 1980s with estimated sales. I've collated the information from Record Mirror and Music Week over the years, plus recent charts broadcast by the Official Charts Company. Sales are restricted to between 1980 and 1989. UK Singles Sales 1980 to 1989 - Solo Women Title Artist Year Est. Sale 1 The Power Of Love - Jennifer Rush 1985 1,320,000 2 Fame - Irene Cara 1982 975,000 3 Into The Groove - Madonna 1985 820,000 4 Woman In Love - Barbra Streisand 1980 780,000 5 Feels Like I’m In Love - Kelly Marie 1980 750,000 6 Like A Virgin - Madonna 1984 725,000 7 Total Eclipse Of The Heart - Bonnie Tyler 1983 675,000 8 Chain Reaction - Diana Ross 1986 675,000 9 I Should Be So Lucky - Kylie Minogue 1988 650,000 10 Together We Are Beautiful - Fern Kinney 1980 650,000 11 I Feel For You - Chaka Khan 1984 645,000 12 I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) - Whitney Houston 1987 640,000 13 Move Closer - Phyllis Nelson 1985 635,000 14 9 To 5 - Sheena Easton 1980 615,000 Women as a named featured artist, sales from 1980 to 1989: a Especially For You - Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan 1988 950,000 b I Know Him So Well - Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson 1985 870,000 c The Only Way Is Up - Yazz and the Plastic Population 1988 720,000 Female groups, sales 1980 to 1989: i Frankie - Sister Sledge 1985 680,000 There have been some reappraisals of sales since the 1980s as the chart compilers have: 1) gathered together over the counter record sales direct from companies (shipments less returns) and 2) built better computer models of the marketplace through experience. So some of the above figures are likely to have altered. I believe that the top 3 and a to c are pretty accurate. Edited July 17, 200915 yr by SimonW
July 17, 200915 yr I believe the next few on the list are: 15.Madonna-Papa don't preach 598,000 16.Toni basil-Mickey 580,000 17.Tiffany-I think we're alone now 535,000 18.Sinitta-So macho/Cruising 530,000 19.Madonna-True blue 520,000 20.Kim wilde-Kids in america 511,000 21.Aneka-Japanese boy 510,000 22.Madonna-Crazy for you 508,000 23.Diana Ross-Upside down 505,000 24.Whitney houston-Saving all my love for you 502,000 25.Madonna-Holiday 500,000.

August 6, 200915 yr Kylie minogue was the first female to have her first 9 singles sell over 200,000: I should be so lucky 675,000 Got to be certain 274,000 The loco-motion 439,000 Je ne sais pas pour quoi 315,000 Especially for you 980,000 Hand on your heart 450,000 Wouldnt change a thing 325,000 Never too late 200,000 Tears on my pillow 235,000 Better the devil you know 230,000 I don't think even madonna has achieved that.
August 6, 200915 yr On the subject of Kylie Minogue. When the OCC produced a list of her biggest selling singles back in June last year. They put Give Me Just A Little More Time from 1992 at number 7, this suggests sales of around 320,000. However its sales in 1992 were only almost 140,000, which means it would have sold around 180,000 ! in downloads since 2004? Surely this is a mistake? 01 Can't Get You Out Of My Head 02 Especially For You 03 I Should Be So Lucky 04 Hand On Your Heart 05 The Loco-Motion 06 Wouldn't Change A Thing 07 Give Me Just A Little More Time 08 Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi 09 Got To Be Certain 10 Spinning Around
August 6, 200915 yr yeah i think it must be cos since better the devil you know shes only had 4 singles sell over 200,000: Confide in me 209,000 Spinning around 250,000 Kids 200,000 Can't get you out of my head over 1 million.
