Not to start off the whole Kylie v Madonna argument (becuase you know i love her too). But I just think its amazing that Kylie has 2 of the top 100 best selling singles in the UK ever and Madonna doesnt even appear once. So proud of her. Obviously Madonna has sold more overall.

Discuss the above.

well i would have liked kylie to have been higher but the fact that she is on the list twice is a good ting so well done for rhat i say

Its a great achievement. Its strange that people always considering her signature tune use to be i should be so lucky yet that only sold about 600,000.

good point but i 600,000 is good sales i have to say,,what dannii wouldnt do to have a single sell that much!!!

 

IT WAS A BIG SONG OF THE 80'S WAS I SHOUL DBE SO LUCKY AND STILL GETS ALOT OF PLAY ON THE 80'S SHOWS WHICH KEEPS THE SONG FRESH IN MANY POEPLES MINDS

Even madonna biggest selling single "Vogue" only sold about 600,000 copies so its great that kylie has 2 huge sellers. I think dannii biggest single in the uk has barely hit 200,000.

how much did like a prayer sell i wonder???

not sure but prob less than 600,000.

ya that would be good sales,,,its a great track and for me deserves to be madonna's best selling single

vogue is def a classic track for her.

ya it was a big hit for her and from what i gather is a huge fan fave of hers

yeah def a brilliant track.

i wonder will a kylie/madonna duet ever happen,,,

i hope not really. id prefer a youger fresher artist.

a kylie madonna duet could be huge though
