150 Best Selling Singles of the 21st Century [57-73]

57. DON'T STOP MOVIN' - S Club 7 (26) 766,000

At the time this was only the 7th song in history to ever climb back to #1 in the UK. Since then quite a few songs have managed this accomplishment (including the song at the end of this post). Despite releasing some incredible pop songs I always begrudged S Club 7 their success; it was all about the mini rivalry my sister and I had going on - I supported Steps, she had S Club 7. We each collected the respective singles and my sister couldn't help but gloat as she racked up the #1s in her tape collection, and I must say now that they had a very impressive run. So much so that like Steps it would appear that a re-union may well be on the cards. Let's just hope that they get all 7 of them back rather than just the 3 that tried last time.



58. LOSE YOURSELF - Eminem (50) 765,000
59. PURE SHORES - All Saints (28) 762,000
60. WE NO SPEAK AMERICANO - Yolanda Be Cool vs. D Cup 757,000


61. TEENAGE DIRTBAG - Wheatus (42) 756,000

This was involved in one of the closest fights I've seen for the #1 spot.  CD:UK couldn't call it on the Saturday morning and in the end Atomic Kitten prevailed on their way to selling a million copies of Whole Again.  But this song has had quite the longevity and has resurfaced back into our top 40 this year! This has one of the best spoken middle eights I've ever heard - pure brilliance!



62. CALIFORNIA GURLS - Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg 748,000
63. TITANIUM - David Guetta ft. Sia 740,000
64. RUN - Leona Lewis (45) 740,000
65. O.M.G. - Usher ft. Will.i.am 739,000
66. BAD BOYS - Alexandra Burke ft. Flo Rida (61) 739,000
67. WHO LET DOGS OUT - Baha Men (29) 738,000
68. EARTHQUAKE - Labrinth ft Tinie Tempah 737,000
69. FIREFLIES - Owl City 731,000
70. KILLING IN THE NAME - Rage Against The Machine (37) 725,000
71. AIRPLANES - B.o.B feat. Hayley Williams 724,000


72. SEXY AND I KNOW IT- LMFAO 719,000

It took quite a while to get Oli and I shuffling along to LMFAO and their Party Rock Anthem. This has not yet won me over - neither do I see it ever doing so. I obviously see its appeal; it's energetic, fun and just that bit cringe-worthy - but it's not for me.



73. BOOM BOOM POW - Black Eyed Peas (46) 713,000
