Wasn't too sure if this was the right place to post it, but it can always be moved if not!

 

Here's a list I compiled of various girl group singles over on Haven forum, thought I'd post it on here in case there's interest. The list comprises mostly estimations, but also some official sales figures that were provided by RyRy :)

 

Enjoy, and I'm always happy to receive any corrections and help with the list :D

Edited by -Jay-

Well, yeah, it is my list after all! :P

Oh, are you the guy that made it on haven?! It all makes sense now :P

I have All Saints singles, this was posted a few years back, probably around 2007 in MW mag

 

I Know Where It's At 158,769

Never Ever 1,263,658

Under The Bridge / Lady Marmalade 424,799

Bootie Call 237,153

War of Nerves 176,714

Pure Shores 682,719

Black Coffee 212,707

All Hooked Up 54,699

Thank you ;)

 

I remember there was some confusion surrounding Pure Shores, recent shows aired on music channels had its figure at 720,000 (seems odd to me that it'd have sold that much since 2007 but I suppose you never know what sells in the background).

what's interesting are the Bananarama figures... it just shows how single sales are plummeting when their smaller hit singles, some even outside the top 40, sell more than their bigger hits more recently.....
Nice to see how well Spice Girls did. They were the best girlband ever IMO!
I'm pleased that the precise figures are up to my birthday :wub:

I wish I had more Eternal sales figures to show but unfortunately these were the only estimates I could find! Their debut album was the first girl group album to sell over a million copies apparently!
Awww I love Eternal! The debut album was massive. Pity it didn't get to No.1. And I remember The Verve kept their Greatest Hits off No.1. Surely their 'Before The Rain' album sold a lot more than 250,000. It had their biggest selling single! And I remember it peaked at No.3 on release and came back into the Top10 again a few months after that.

I got this data for Before The Rain from a list of 1997 best selling albums, where it stated 240,000. I put 250,000 just to round it off a bit.
