OCC: Madonna's Top 40 Best Sellers
Strange how Like A Prayer has sold more than twice as fast as the others since the last update, I'm guessing it must be an airplay favorite with commercial radio or perhaps it was the All Saints cover that did it. Why do they keep updating Madonna all the time, what about Marish Carey Whitney Houston, Rihanna etc..

Waiting For A Star To Fall - best version?
I prefer the original. This song was written for Whitney Houston originally, her version would have sounded even better I'd imagine..

OCC: Timberlake's Biggest Sellers
Justin Timberlake's Official Top 20 biggest songs 15 May 2016 By Justin Myers Yep, it's just Justin – he's back! After a couple of years away from the Top 40, JT is bringing sexy back with Can't Stop The Feeling, from the movie Trolls. It's his 18th Top 10 (!) and his first since 2013, so what better way to celebrate Justin's triumphant return than have a good old poke through the archives, crunch some numbers and reveal his biggest songs? The Top 5 Counting sales and streams, Justin's Top 5 looks a little something like this: Mirrors was a big comeback for Justin when it hit Number 1 in 2013. It was his first chart-topper in almost five years and paved the way for his first album for SEVEN years – The 20/20 Experience Part 1. Mirrors ruled the top spot for three weeks and has a stellar combined chart sales tally of 890,000, putting it way out in front of his other hits. From his most recent chart-topper to his very first, way back in 2006. SexyBack was another career-defining moment for JT, shifting away from the poppy R&B of debut album Justified and homing in on a sharper, more electronic sound. Despite distorted vocals and barely making a cameo himself on his own chorus – leaving the bulk of the work to his old pal Timbaland – SexyBack became a signature track for Justin and went straight in at the top, with over 610,000 chart sales to its name. Justin is famed for his all-star collaborations, and up in third is his possibly his starriest of them all. Justin teamed up with Madonna for 4 Minutes, the lead single from her 2008 album Hard Candy. It was a winning combination – the track spent 4 weeks at Number 1, which is Justin's longest run at the top, and boasts over 530,000 combined sales. Justin's biggest song from his 2003 debut album is Cry Me A River, the song that got everybody talking. Fresh form his breakup with Britney Spears, Justin played on public interest by casting a woman who had more than a passing resemblance to his ex in the video. Match that with the song's theme of infidelity and you've got tabloid gold, basically – not to mention chart gold! Cry Me A River got no further than Number 2 – kept off the top by tATu's All The Things She Said – but has over 467,000 chart sales under its belt. Rounding off our Top 5 is another megastar collaboration, this time with hip-hop legend Jay Z. Holy Grail was JT's last Top 10 hit before Can't Stop The Feeling, reaching Number 7 in 2013. Its chart sales tally stands at 430,000. Other notable entries Ciara collabo Love Sex & Magic just makes Justin's Top 10 big ones, nudging out his solo debut Like I Love You (Number 2 in 2002) and his 2007 Number 1 with Timbaland, Give It To Me. It may not have made the Top 10, but Rihanna teamup Rehab – try saying that adter a few vodka and tonics – still comes in 17th, with Senorita, the only single from Justified to miss the Top 10, right behind it. We don't reckon it'll be long before his new hit Can't Stop The Feeling will be shaking up this Top 20 either – it's currently sitting at 23. Here's the full Official Top 20 biggest Justin Timberlake songs in the UK TITLE PEAK YEAR 1 MIRRORS 1 2013 890,000 2 SEXYBACK 1 2006 610,000 3 4 MINUTES 1 2008 530,000 4 CRY ME A RIVER 2 2002 467,000 5 HOLY GRAIL 7 2013 430,000 6 AYO TECHNOLOGY 2 2007 400,000+ 7 DEAD AND GONE 4 2009 8 WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND 4 2007 9 SUIT & TIE 3 2013 10 LOVE SEX MAGIC 5 2009 11 LIKE I LOVE YOU 2 2002 12 GIVE IT TO ME 1 2007 13 ROCK YOUR BODY 2 2003 14 MY LOVE 2 2006 15 SIGNS 2 2005 16 CARRY OUT 6 2010 17 REHAB 16 2008 200,000+ 18 SENORITA 13 2003 19 NOT A BAD THING 21 2014 20 LOVESTONED 11 2007

Some Beatles sales figures
I make it a total of 990,000 for Gerry/Pacemakers, dunno if the OCC are using a different physical sale though. 900,000 physicals for Hey Jude seems a bit high, never seen a figure that high for it before, maybe they have realised this and adjusted it downward
