Posted January 20, 200916 yr I think we should all hound companies like Music Week, the OCC, the BPI, Island and maybe even the babes themselves to try and find out what the most up to date sales are (especially for the singles) as a lot of them are really old and have bound to have gone up as more people become fans. For instance Overload must have sold more than 138k after all the successful albums. Who else thinks we should do this?

January 20, 200916 yr Author i know them ones, but i their not accurate are they, we will see what the Change era has sold when we get sales figures for the end of year 2008. But before that we're still blank.
January 20, 200916 yr There's no need I don't think? When the next Suga song charts, MusicWeek will update us.
January 21, 200916 yr I think HITH would have been higher than Girls if it were released in the "download era". The sales overall for that stage of releasing were pretty low at the time.
January 22, 200916 yr I think HITH would have been higher than Girls if it were released in the "download era". The sales overall for that stage of releasing were pretty low at the time. totally. It was a no1 and all the songs off 3 made top10, yet Change era outsold it easily (but much less albums) Thanks for the figures col, some are higher/more updated than the ones we have but i find it unbelievable that Hole is still on 150k, 5 years of cherrypicks should have seen that rise a least a bit, and Overloaded has still been selling consistently suggesting there is interest in their back catalogue (plus their singles sales this year were 500k which means some of the oldies must've risen). Girls is a lead! and it was popular with non/casual fans i think! Didn't derserve AYN type success but i'm glad it's up there :) Ps i love your "Flopping Kind" banner! :lol: Edited January 22, 200916 yr by spicefunk
January 22, 200916 yr i seen this in top 250 singles om here 66 68 Sugababes Girls 154840 132 Sugababes Denial 78000 228 Sugababes Change 44000 i know change is more coz thats last year and change was relased in dec 07 im made up for denial if this is true as denial for me is my fav song ever b them and bought me in as a fan :D, i love denial,and i agree i would love a update on hole,girls cannot outsell it :S
February 9, 200916 yr Noticed GA sales update in their forum (don't know where from/how accurate but they look about right), they seem to be able to get almost weekly sales updates (even if only 1 or 2 oldies rarely rise 1k each week). Is anyone able to rustle up some accurate sales updates for Sugababes? Some of those singles figures are years old, with download cherrypicking those tracks must have went up (we couldn't account for something like 150k of single sales last year from the change or catfights era for example). We know their singles sales are well over 3.1million at least from the musicweek total last year, so there's definitely a big rise in some of them. Wish MW would do a definitive list but not likely is it :(
February 9, 200916 yr Author with the most up to date sales i have, Single Sales are 2,876,117 but this is deffo short as Music Week did say their single sales are 3.1 million +. Album Sales are 4,125,461, this figure is quite up to date. Making their total 7,001,578. But i think if we got better singles updates it would be around 7.4 million. I think the babes are safely the biggest selling girlband this decade now if the decade is 2000-2009, but if it is 2001-2010 then i think it would be very close.
February 13, 200916 yr lol. I have on two threads, as have a few other people but no reply so far. I think it might be from GA official forum posts, though someone corrected one of the figures last week from a previous MW report from a couple of weeks back, so hard to know just how accurate they are. "Decade" is 2000-2009 in terms of this (imaginary) award, and as you say it'll be the higher total as MW confirmed their single sales and album sales are reasonably up to date as we know Catfights isn't selling much and the back catalogue is quite steady other than Overloaded which could have gone up by a few 1000 more i'd wager. I have a spreadsheet which i'm keeping up to date with official sales and accurate estimates when they are posted, the babes are clearly still ahead overall at the moment though not in singles anymore i believe
February 13, 200916 yr Author i have a spreadsheet too but there is no point when there is hardly any recent info about the singles.
February 16, 200916 yr i have a spreadsheet too but there is no point when there is hardly any recent info about the singles. Well my spreadsheet's bigger than your spreadsheet! :P
February 16, 200916 yr Author Well my spreadsheet's bigger than your spreadsheet! :P Yes mine is v. small and relative to the size of my feet, SIZE 10. :P
