Posted July 16, 200915 yr 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 -------------------- Ultimate List of Girl Group Singles Key: Some of the older singles totals come from accurate figures revealed in June 2009, some are just estimates. Singles released 2009 onwards are largely estimates.

July 16, 200915 yr No Scrubs only made #3, but it was 500k seller. :o Edited July 16, 200915 yr by FM11
July 16, 200915 yr 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
July 16, 200915 yr 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
July 16, 200915 yr Author 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).
July 16, 200915 yr 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.....
July 16, 200915 yr I'm very pleased that Mis-Teeq's 'All I Want' actually outsold the overrated 'Scandalous', a far superior song I feel.
July 17, 200915 yr I'm pleased that the precise figures are up to my birthday :wub: Edited July 19, 200915 yr by I Gotta Thёo
July 17, 200915 yr Awesome list - amazing seeing Eternal's sales - always wanted to see how much they sold!
July 17, 200915 yr Author 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!
July 19, 200915 yr 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.
July 19, 200915 yr Author 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.
