Really? I'd have thought Westlife would've thrashed Boyzone!

Remember though Boyzone sold loads of singles over the last ten years working on the counters at Woolies and HMV.

Britney Spears Wins by 2,223,620

Songs from Britney in 2011 are not included (Could not find figures) but she has won by a mile.

[Jordan]

Christina helped out massively by her 25 or so seconds on Moves Like Jagger.

[borneoman]

duets like the Ricky one are ok but not sure if features should count... especially the 5 nano-seconds in MLJ...

[Earl Purple]

surprised The Voice Within is Christina's lowest selling single. Other than Moves Like Jagger it's her biggest hit in my chart...

[borneoman]

really? personally it's one of her weakest ballads, not at the same level of Hurt or Beautiful

but it had timing on its side, entering my chart in the quiet period just after Christmas 2003.

10m for Rihanna! This girl is only 24!!

[chbigemi]

Rihanna has released non-stop since 2005, so not surprised. Although I'm pretty much getting tired of her now, it's time she takes a break.
