Gezza, thanks for this countdown, it's extremely interesting however I'm still a bit confused by a couple of things within it. For certain years, some acts with lower sales than other acts in that year have ended up higher than acts with higher sales for that year. For example, Anastacia has ended up higher than the Scissor Sisters, Keane and Maroon 5 for 2004 despite having lower overall sales for 2004 than the other acts.

This has been put up for pre order but interestingly for the 7th June so only just over 3 weeks away!

Is there an equivalent year end chart for 2013? Would be interesting to compare this years compared to last years what with deep house really becoming the big genre in EDM this year

Weird how this thread hasn't been updated in weeks , especially with the new hall of fame features which show the most shazammed songs ever

I'm surprised to not see Animals and Take Me To Church gain places from streaming despite both featuring just outside the spotify top 10 for a couple of weeks now

Could I please have the total sales for

 

Fun. - We Are Young

Labrinth feat. Emeli Sande- Beneath Your Beautiful

Taylor Swift- We are never ever getting back together

Florence & The Machine- Spectrum

One Direction- Best Song Ever

Jay-Z feat. Justin Timberlake- Holy Grail

Could I please the total sales for the following songs?

 

Fun.- Some Nights (single)

Swedish House Mafia- Don't you worry child

Olly murs- Troublemaker

Robbie Williams- Candy

The Script- Hall Of Fame

Maroon 5- Payphone

After all the success titanium had, she wolf (falling to pieces) massively under performed

Is there anywhere where you can find reasonably accurate total European sales figures for singles?

Fun. should really be up there, I would have voted for them if they were there, voted for Coldplay

I have a up to date ytd top 10 for the usa thanks to information from the twitter account @chartnews that I follow:

 

1) Somebody That I Used To Know 4.97 million

2) We Are Young 4.836 million

3) Call Me Maybe 3.281 million

4) Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) 3.201 million

5) Starships 2.852 million

6) Glad You Came 2.765 million

7) What Makes You Beautiful 2.586 million

8) Wild Ones 2.54 million

9) Set Fire To The Rain 2.465 million

10) Payphone 2.442 million

 

I would recommend following @chartnews if you have twitter as it is fantastic for sales figures in the US and does do worldwide sales as well

this article on the occ website explains all with information about most purchased artists of the year so far

http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/t...s-arrived-1385/

Why has iris climbed to 25?

Lose Yourself is a classic and probably in my top 10 songs ever and Don't Stop Movin is also a classic and probably the only S Club 7 song I like

Yay fireflies, the best song ever (imo) :heart:

fireflies must be coming up soon, i'm suprised it's this high, I thought that airplanes had sold more than it

Surely Madonna- Like A Prayer is the most classic song from 1989?

1995- First album to sell 2 million in a calender year (Robson And Jerome)

2011- First album to sell 3 million in a calendar year (21)

Fourth biggest :D So glad it's beaten Bieber by quite a bit.

 

Digital Songs top 10:

1 [2] Gotye feat. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know 542k (up 74% - had to work this percentage increase out myself :P)

2 [1] fun. feat. Janelle Monáe - We Are Young 333k (down 15%)

3 [4] One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful 267k (down 9%)

4 [3] Justin Bieber - Boyfriend 255k (down 14%)

5 [6] Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe 227k (up 5%)

6 [5] Nicki Minaj - Starships 204k (down 12%)

7 [8] Flo Rida feat. Sia - Wild Ones 187k (down 6%)

8 [7] The Wanted - Glad You Came 181k (down 14%)

9 [15] Kanye West feat. Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz - Mercy 154k (up 32%)

10 [**] Glee Cast - Somebody That I Used To Know 152k (NEW)

 

The same eight songs in the top eight with all of them moving exactly one place - weird. Brilliant to see Kanye getting a top 10 placing after all, 'Mercy' isn't proving anywhere near as frontloaded as expected (although it has now plummeted in the UK after holding up well for about a week :() First top 10 hit for Glee since 'Smooth Criminal' I think?

 

It wouldn't surprise me now if Gotye actually ends up overtaking fun. and getting the biggest seller of the year. They're definitely the two biggest early favourites for the biggest hits of the year (they have been for a while but Gotye took a while to get going in the USA and fun. are doing the same here).

 

Gotye 209k ahead of fun. - gonna be a close one for the Hot 100 #1 :kink:

Just out of interest, what had bigger weeks, was it Born This Way, Tik Tok and Right Round?

Just read on twitter that gotye sold 542k this week, that is extraordinary must be 2nd or 3rd highest sales week ever in the US digitally?

wow, that's is fun.'s biggest sales week so far :)

Where was jagged little pill, I thought that would be near come on over on the list?

If Florence makes the top 10 after "Shake It Out" couldn't with an X Factor performance it'll be a minor miracle, "No Light, No Light" isn't even top 200 now.

 

Why is B.o.B back with "Strange Clouds" at #170? Lovely surprise, but it's still 99p.

There is a video for it but it's been out for about a month so i presume it's beginning to get some video play or airplay otherwise I don't know

Here's an updated version of mine around a month and a half later
