Where are toxic, me against the music, womanizer, oops i did it again, everytime????? And tik tok didn't sale 12 million copies!!! Finally, where are vogue, like a prayer...????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.250.86.45 (talk) 18:11, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Without you has sold more than 9 million copies, Fantasy has sold more than 7 and one sweet day has sold more than 6.5. I saw that in a page what show the best selling singles worldwide. http://www.mediatraffic.de/alltime-track-chart.htm

(united world chart)

I gotta feeling has sold more than 13 million copies worldwide not 7 million. http://www.mediatraffic.de/alltime-track-chart.htm

(united world chart)

Hung up is one of madonna best selling tracks ever selling at least five million copies. I think it should be added as well

Does it seem odd that the single "Me Against the Music" is listed twice, once with Madonna's name, and once with Britney Spears? And they are both associated with different numbers...

It's a guess. 50 million copies was being touted in the 1980s and is too much of a round number to be genuine. Certainly by 2010 several million more ought to have been added to that figure. Does any one know any more up to date figures, or could we work out an appropriate caveat for the article in terms of precision? DavidFarmbrough 10:50 a.m. UST 2nd December 2010.

• Underneath your Clothes with sales of over 9 million copies worldwide
• "La Tortura" is currently the highest-selling only-Spanish language digital track in United States at 804,000 downloads and the biggest-selling Spanish language track of the decade with sales of over 5 million copies worldwide

Billboard in 2010, has placed it as the second singer to have sold more singles in the last decade. Can you search sources for the singles? I didn't find it. Thanks --93.45.40.66 (talk) 05:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

BAD ROMANCE has sold almost 10 million copies worldwide, tying with Poker Face! TELEPHONE has sold 7 million copies worldwide!

All according to this official site: http://www.ifpi.com/content/section_resources/dmr2011.html

The #'s are also listed on each song's main articles!

I'm sorry that this is technically against the rules but isn't it safe to assume that the song has sold 10 million copies... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.216.225 (talk) 18:04, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the IFPI is citing far more than singles, so it probably hasn't actually sold 9.8 million singles. They count ringtones, video, and "all versions of the song", meaning sold as part of an album or remix package. Abrazame (talk) 18:17, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Baby one more time has sold 14 million singles worldwide but on the list is says 9 million so i change it to 14 and then one minute later someone changes it to nine million. And plus Tik Tok DID NOT sell 12.8 million copies, just saying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caterers (talk • contribs) 00:43, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where are Bad Romance and Telephone? They were just there a while ago supported by the IFPI. If this is some lame joke by a Britney fan then it's not funny, please revert it. http://www.ifpi.org/content/section_resources/dmr2011.html Here it is, if no one adds it I'll do it myself, thank you.--GagaLittleMonster (talk) 11:34, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, her official "stage name" as printed on future releases is Hikaru Utada, not Utada Hikaru, according to her article here on Wikipedia. More importantly, Flavor of Life has sold 8,000,000 copies as of the most recent source, dated May 13, 2008. Sales of tracks from Heart Station, according to barks.jp —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.28.105.66 (talk) 20:22, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was under the impression that the Mills Brothers were a jazz and pop quartet, and had nothing to do with country music. Although their single "Paper Doll" may have been popular with country artists, I wonder if there was a source used to categorize this song as "country" in this article? If not, I wonder if a source can be found to verify its proper genre. (Yes, it would be unfair to have sources to verify each of the songs on the list; it seems to be fairly accurate otherwise with listings by genre.)

hello i doubt that Kylie sold anything like that for the single all the lovers. doesnt add up with the chart positions and sales window. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.5.32.115 (talk) 21:47, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

i think these singles has sold more than 5 million:

I Like It:5 milliom(last years WW sales was about 4.9 so up to now surely it has sold more than 5)

Hero: 8 million or more(in 2001 it sold more than 3 and year after more than 4 and up to now may more than 9)

Bailamos: 5 (in 1999 it sold more than 4 million and of course till now it has reached 5)

so please add them and if you're not sure check it out yourself from a reliable source may be like meditraffic.de--Farid1374 (talk) 19:10, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is an unofficial, amateur, and inconsistent self-determiner of "points" that takes other things into account. For a fuller explanation, please read Talk:List of best-selling singles worldwide/Archive 1#Mediatraffic.de points are not a representation of singles sales.
