IIRC I think If I Were A Boy is on around 800k

http://www.officialcharts.com/features/the...-revealed-2335/ By Justin Myers To celebrate ten years of Crazy In Love, we present Beyoncé’s Official Top 40 singles – solo, Destiny’s Child, the lot. Can it really be ten years since everybody went bonkers for Crazy In Love? “Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, a-no-no” blasted from every car, club, pub, party and bedroom for what seemed like a blissful eternity during summer 2003. It wasn’t Beyoncé’s first solo hit – that honour went to Work It Out, which reached Number 7 the year before thanks to an appearance on the soundtrack of Austin Powers: Goldmember. It was, however, her first solo Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart and announced to the world that post-Destiny’s Child Beyoncé was a force to be reckoned with when it came to pure pop power. Beyoncé’s chart story starts 15 years before Crazy In Love hit Number 1, however. As part of R&B girl group Destiny’s Child, she enjoyed 15 Official Singles Chart Top 40 hits, including two Number 1s back-to-back, with Independent Women Part 1 in 2000 – from the soundtrack of the Charlie’s Angels movie starring Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz – and Survivor in 2001. Their first hit was No, No, No, which reached Number 5 in March 1998. Independent Women is the biggest selling Destiny’s Child single in the UK, shifting over 470,000 copies. Survivor managed over 335,000 and also worth a mention is the Number 2 comeback hit from 2004, Lose My Breath, just a few thousand behind. And all from a pre-digital age, remember. But it’s when she’s going it alone that Queen Bey is at her most chart-worthy. As a solo artist, Beyoncé has racked up an impressive 23 Top 40 hits, including five Number 1s. Her biggest seller is If I Were A Boy, an Official Singles Chart Number 1 from 2008, the lead single from her third album I Am… Sasha Fierce. Sasha Fierce is also Beyoncé’s best-selling album in the UK, with a sales tally of over 1.5 million. Runner-up for best-selling Beyoncé track is Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), released alongside If I Were A Boy and racking up 690,000 sales. Nobody could get enough of Beyoncé in 2008, it seems. Her biggest ballad is the beautiful Halo, a staple of Beyoncé’s live shows. It’s sold almost 650,000 copies to be her fourth biggest hit. Her collaboration with Lady Gaga, Telephone, also an Official Chart Number 1, is up in third. It’s shifted almost 690,000 copies. And the big one itself, Crazy In Love, comes in as her fifth biggest seller with 510,000. Watch Crazy In Love before we reveal the Official Beyoncé and Destiny’s Child Top 40 Singles: A surprise Crazy In Love isn’t her top seller? Maybe. But the album it was taken from, Dangerously In Love, was released the week before it, so anyone desperate for that Crazy In Love fix – which was quite a few people as it turned out – grabbed the album, helping it to sell almost 1.2 million copies in the UK since its release in July 2003. The album spent five consecutive weeks at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart, while Crazy In Love itself still managed to spend three weeks atop its throne on the Official Singles Chart. Also worth a mention is Beyoncé’s collaboration with Shakira, Beautiful Liar, at Number 9. The track, Shakira’s third biggest seller in the UK, has sold over 420,000 copies and was Number 1 for three weeks. Beyoncé’s first Top 40 hit with future husband Jay-Z wasn’t Crazy In Love, but a duet, ’03 Bonnie And Clyde, a Number 2 hit in early 2003. They’d go on to have two Number 1s together: Crazy In Love, of course, and Déjà Vu three years later, the lead single from Bey’s second album B Day. So here it is!

That song by Steve voice was terrible, quite apropriate that it was called On The Shelf, as it completley missed the charts, his single was obviously left on the shelf too! :lol: (just read Steve Voice later had success writing hits for Kelly Marie in 1980/81) Andre Gold song was good Maybe surprising that Raceys single Baby Its You missed the charts as it was written by Chris Norman of Smokie. Their two big hits would be written by Chinn & Chapman. Just another three weeks of Olivia & John to go!

I didnt think i remembered seeing 98k in Music Week, :unsure: I even checked the sales report from 2008, when the remix entered the chart but nothing. Another one U2 Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me 117,000 on 17th June 1995, this sale and Pulps are taken from Hit Music Newsletters a sister paper to MW that used to run in the 90's (Like Chartplus only with sales!) They also carried YTD charts (though only with sale from 1998 onwards), which is where the estimate for Sash was taken.

Where did you get that from?

I estimate that Sash En Core Une Fois would have sold just over 100k in it first week at no.2 (w/e 1st Mar 1997)

I'm guessing Bad Romance must just be short of a million as OCC hasnt mentioned it and it wasnt on their million sellers list published last week?

Nile Rodgers beats his previous best of 500k for Le Freak, Bangalter of Daft Punk beats his previous best of 674k with Music Sounds Better With You and Pharrell previous best was 80k :lol: for Frontin

If my memory serves me well, Pulp Sorted for e and wizz sold 112k in its first week at no.2

they ballsed up and blurred lines has been a flop selling only 1900 a week instead :lol:

Always on my mind was actually originally by Brenda Lee, though Elvis was the first to have a hit with it.

www.whosampled.com is a very useful website, it also also some details about cover versions and remixes there too.

Thanks for posting. Can you recap the full list without all the videos inbetween please? Thanks

The version of dreams that sampled fast car was first recorded in 1991, when released on a small independent label called Jet Star it peaked at number 136 in the charts in January 1993 before being deleted because of the copyright problems. The week before when UB40 went to number one it sales were in decline, the week Gabrielle debut at number 2 it sales increased just enough to keep gabrielle from reaching number one.

Natalie Imbruglia Torn is a cover - can't remember who did the original and im sure I read somewhere Christina Aguilera's What A Girl Wants is a cover too. One that I never knew for years was a cover that i just found out recently was Madness and One Step Beyond originally by Prince Buster.

Love The Way You Lie is a cover, originally by Skylar Grey

Good show this week. I'm guessing that that was probably Whitesnakes first UK tv appearance. Trivia question. Name the chart hitting drummer that has been in both Whitesnake and Black Sabbath?

my fave is New Kid In Town then One Of These Nights

I was wondering this aswell but as the physical single only peaked at number 62 with 4 weeks on chart it seems unlikely to have sold nearly 80,000..

Its a weird thing that although Victoria Beckham never achieved a solo number one - Out Of Your Mind peaked at two in a huge chart battle with Spiller's Groovejet. Her weekly sales that week (181000) is bigger than any of the other solo spice girls highest weekly sales who did get to number one.

Here is the list of top selling downloads (only) of all time in UK as broadcast by Viva on Sunday, not sure of the cut off date, however they did mention on the show that 1 billion download mark had been passed on the 8 th April 2013, so whether this is also the cut off date I'm not sure. Ive just put up the song titles to save my fingers, I think everyone will probably know the artists.

My first NOW was 11, then I bought everyone one after that (except for about 10of them)all the way upto to NOW 71. I got the NOW bug lol :wub: Surprised they never mentioned the fact that with the Now albums they give you little pieces of information about every hit featured on the album. No other compilations ever did/do this, not even their rivals at the the time the HITs series did it.

Vidcapper: I got all the sales figures on paper, i will post them up sometime within the next week, depends how long it takes me to type em up :)

On paper Cilla Black's Silly Boy should have been a big hit, written by Dominic Bugatti & Frank Musker (Three Degrees, Bonnie Tyler, Sheena Easton) and produced by ex Springfield Mike Hurst (Manfred Mann, Showaddywaddy etc).

Didnt Queen release a foreign language song? Cant remember what it was called though.
