List of million-selling singles in the United Kingdom

The definition of a million-selling single, as regarded by the Official Charts Company (OCC), has changed in line with new technology for music consumption. Originally only physical record sales were counted since the start of the UK Singles Chart in November 1952. Digital downloads of a track were included from 2004 onwards and from 2014 onwards BPI-certified awards (Silver, Gold and Platinum) and the weekly charts include audio streaming.[1][2] In 2017, the OCC included streaming in their definition of a million-seller and published a full list of the 311 songs which had achieved this.[3] Certified awards can also include shipments (sales to trade).[4][5][6] The OCC and Music Week regularly announce when a record becomes a million seller.[7][8][9]

"(We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & His Comets was the first single to sell 1 million copies in the UK.

History

In 1959, British periodical Disc introduced an initiative to present a Gold record to singles that sold more than 1 million units.[10] Information about when a record was classified Gold by Disc is "not well documented", and the awards relied on record companies correctly compiling and supplying sales information.[10] This led to errors, such as The Shadows' instrumental "Apache" and The Archies' "Sugar, Sugar" incorrectly being awarded a gold disc in January 1970.[nb 1] Such inaccuracies led to the instigation of an official classification system.[10] In April 1973, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) began classifying singles and albums by the number of units sold. The highest threshold is "Platinum record" and was then awarded to singles that sold more than 1 million units.[11] For singles released after 1 January 1989, the number of sales required to qualify for Platinum, Gold and Silver records was dropped to 600,000 units (Platinum), 400,000 units (Gold) and 200,000 units (Silver).[11][12] In February 1987, the BPI introduced multi-Platinum awards so that if a single sold 1,200,000 units it was classified as double Platinum, 1,800,000 units as triple Platinum, etc.[12]

Digital downloads have been counted towards singles sales from 2004 onwards:[13] the first single to achieve a million digital sales was "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas.[14] Additionally, audio streaming has been included in the official chart and BPI awards since 30 June 2014, at a rate of 100 streams representing one unit sale;[2] however, the OCC still compiles a 'sales' (only) chart.[15]

In 1963, the Beatles' song "She Loves You" became the best-selling single of all time in the UK.[16] This record was broken in 1977 when Paul McCartney's subsequent band Wings surpassed it with "Mull of Kintyre", which also became the first song to sell 2 million copies in the UK.[17] In 1984, Band Aid released the charity-record "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in response to the famine in Ethiopia; it sold 1 million copies in the first week and soon became the best-selling single.[18][19] This record was broken in 1997, following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, when Elton John released "Candle in the Wind 1997", a re-write of the Marilyn Monroe tribute released in 1973. Selling more than 650,000 copies on its first day on sale and more than 1.5 million in its first week, it quickly became the UK's best-selling single.[18][20][21] It was classified by the BPI as 9× Platinum (5.4 million) in October 1997, but more recent reports by the OCC put its total sales at 4.93 million.[3]

Million-selling singles (paid-for sales)

The following list is restricted to paid-for sales since the inception of a UK chart in 1952. Unless stated otherwise, sales figures from the OCC are correct as of 19 September 2017.[3] At this date, the OCC started recording million-sellers using combined sales (including streaming), but published the paid-for sales figures as well.

As of November 2022, 179 singles have sold 1 million copies in the UK.[22][23] Of these, 112 were originally released in the 20th century (70 of them selling 1 million before the year 2000)[8] and the remainder were released between 2000 and 2014. The most recently released single to become a million-seller is "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars,[24] which was released in December 2014 and passed a million sales ten weeks later in February 2015. Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" is the earliest release: originally 1942, although only sales from 1952 onwards are counted. The year in which the most million-sellers were released is 2011, with fifteen; while a record 40 releases in the 2010s have sold a million copies.[23]

  1. ^ a b "Sugar, Sugar" was erroneously awarded a gold record by Disc having sold approximately 945,000 copies. RCA Records informed Disc that 1 million copies had been shipped, however not all were sold.[39][10] The single went on to sell more than 1 million copies with the introduction of music downloads in 2004.[40]

  6. ^ "Bohemian Rhapsody" has sold 1 million copies and been certified Platinum both in its original 1975 release and in its 1991 re-release as a double 'A' side following the death of Freddie Mercury.
  7. ^ "Three Lions" and "3 Lions '98" were each treated as individual songs and classified Platinum by the BPI. The OCC's list of million-sellers grouped them as the same song, thus making it a million-seller.

The definition of a million selling single as regarded by the Official Charts Company OCC has changed in line with new technology for music consumption Originally only physical record sales were counted since the start of the UK Singles Chart in November 1952 Digital downloads of a track were included from 2004 onwards and from 2014 onwards BPI certified awards Silver Gold and Platinum and the weekly charts include audio streaming 1 2 In 2017 the OCC included streaming in their definition of a million seller and published a full list of the 311 songs which had achieved this 3 Certified awards can also include shipments sales to trade 4 5 6 The OCC and Music Week regularly announce when a record becomes a million seller 7 8 9 We re Gonna Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley amp His Comets was the first single to sell 1 million copies in the UK Contents 1 History 2 Million selling singles paid for sales 3 Artists with the most million selling singles 4 Songs with one million combined sales 5 See also 6 Footnotes 7 ReferencesHistory EditIn 1959 British periodical Disc introduced an initiative to present a Gold record to singles that sold more than 1 million units 10 Information about when a record was classified Gold by Disc is not well documented and the awards relied on record companies correctly compiling and supplying sales information 10 This led to errors such as The Shadows instrumental Apache and The Archies Sugar Sugar incorrectly being awarded a gold disc in January 1970 nb 1 Such inaccuracies led to the instigation of an official classification system 10 In April 1973 the British Phonographic Industry BPI began classifying singles and albums by the number of units sold The highest threshold is Platinum record and was then awarded to singles that sold more than 1 million units 11 For singles released after 1 January 1989 the number of sales required to qualify for Platinum Gold and Silver records was dropped to 600 000 units Platinum 400 000 units Gold and 200 000 units Silver 11 12 In February 1987 the BPI introduced multi Platinum awards so that if a single sold 1 200 000 units it was classified as double Platinum 1 800 000 units as triple Platinum etc 12 Digital downloads have been counted towards singles sales from 2004 onwards 13 the first single to achieve a million digital sales was I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas 14 Additionally audio streaming has been included in the official chart and BPI awards since 30 June 2014 at a rate of 100 streams representing one unit sale 2 however the OCC still compiles a sales only chart 15 In 1963 the Beatles song She Loves You became the best selling single of all time in the UK 16 This record was broken in 1977 when Paul McCartney s subsequent band Wings surpassed it with Mull of Kintyre which also became the first song to sell 2 million copies in the UK 17 In 1984 Band Aid released the charity record Do They Know It s Christmas in response to the famine in Ethiopia it sold 1 million copies in the first week and soon became the best selling single 18 19 This record was broken in 1997 following the death of Diana Princess of Wales when Elton John released Candle in the Wind 1997 a re write of the Marilyn Monroe tribute released in 1973 Selling more than 650 000 copies on its first day on sale and more than 1 5 million in its first week it quickly became the UK s best selling single 18 20 21 It was classified by the BPI as 9 Platinum 5 4 million in October 1997 but more recent reports by the OCC put its total sales at 4 93 million 3 Million selling singles paid for sales EditThe following list is restricted to paid for sales since the inception of a UK chart in 1952 Unless stated otherwise sales figures from the OCC are correct as of 19 September 2017 3 At this date the OCC started recording million sellers using combined sales including streaming but published the paid for sales figures as well As of November 2022 update 179 singles have sold 1 million copies in the UK 22 23 Of these 112 were originally released in the 20th century 70 of them selling 1 million before the year 2000 8 and the remainder were released between 2000 and 2014 The most recently released single to become a million seller is Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars 24 which was released in December 2014 and passed a million sales ten weeks later in February 2015 Bing Crosby s White Christmas is the earliest release originally 1942 although only sales from 1952 onwards are counted The year in which the most million sellers were released is 2011
