I almost hate to mention this but in the interests of accuracy surely the Tweenies should be in there with "Number 1"? Apparently it sold 286,000 in 2000, and it spent several weeks in the Top 40 at the beginning of 2001.

La Roux, Tinchy, AR Rahman, Halo by Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris should all be appearing in the next few weeks, making it entirely 300K plus!

Hey, there was a show on 4Music today, using figures from the OCC. It was the 100 biggest selling US tracks of the decade (ie. UK sales by US bands). Its seemed pretty up to date but probably about a month out, e.g. Beyonce was 500k with if i were a boy, and GaGa was listed as 540k with Just Dance. Annoyingly i only caught the last 31 but they are probably the most use for this list anyway. Its more the older ones it'll be useful for where we don't get sales updates; some have went up a fair bit, i'll only list those which don't already have a higher (ie. more up to date) figure.

 

30 Usher ft Ludacris Yeah 395,000

29 Akon Lonely 400,000

28 Madonna Music 405,000

27 Timbaland Ft Keri Hilson and D.O.E. The Way I Are 415,000

26 Bloodhound Gang The Bad Touch 425,000

25 Flo Rida ft T Pain Low 430,000

 

21 Madonna ft Justin Timberlake 4 Minutes 445,000

20 Britney Spears Oops! I Did It Again 450,000

19 Eminem The Real Slim Shady 470,000 (his others are the same though Stan excluded prob coz Dido is British)

18 Timbaland Presents One Republic Apologise 475,000

 

16 Christina, Pink, Mya and Lil Kim Lady Marmalade 490,000

8 Katy Perry I Kissed a Girl 535,000 (still charting top100/200 def sold more)

 

5 Wheatus Teenage Dirtbag 555,000

 

Incidently Kings of Leon were number 1 with Sex on Fire - on 610,000 on the show but they're higher now. Isn't is also the biggest selling download ever? Sure musicweek mentioned this before though Alexandra Burke can't be far off.

 

Anyhoo, hope that's a fair few to update Steve and if anyone saw the whole show feel free to post the whole list i'm mad that i missed it really interesting! :rolleyes:

"The number 75 single this week – Run by Leona Lewis – sold 2,695 copies – enough to earn a number 41 place this week in 2006. "

 

If you need... XD

Tracks from 2008 are really doing well; almost 20 or so in the top 100 from that year alone. Really shows how downloads have regenerated that whole market.

A.R. Rahman & Pussycat Dolls Feat. Nicole Scherzinger - Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny) 302,824

Taylor Swift - Love Story - 301,366
