Just to finish off the stats bit...
The songs which haven't got to no1 but still shifted loads are...
Highest selling #2 - Wham! "Last Christmas" 1.42 million
#3 - NewOrder "Blue Monday" 1 million
#4 - Robbie Williams "Angels" 864,000
#5 - Jim Reeves "I Love You Because" 760,000
#6 - Anita Harris "Just Loving You" 625,000
#7 - Leann Rimes "How Do I Live" 714,000
Bizarrely, Steps managed to sell 300,000 copies of 5,6,7,8 despite it peaking at a relatively lowly #14!
Disputes:
NewOrder sold this amount through subsequent re-releases - if they are not counted then the biggest selling #3 is "Missing" by Everything But The Girl (870,000)
Bing Crosbie's "White Christmas" only made #5 but no sales figures are available, it is thought to have sold over a million though.
And that, my friends, is more than enough stats for one day!
