in order to see all songs you have to click the menu options after the filter tab several times because not all songs will be shown the first time. but i was able to check which have surpassed 5m according to both sites.

== Sales and Streaming ==

I see that streamed songs are in some cases already counted as part of the total sales (for example all the singles in the last ifpi report, "dark horse" and "we are never ever getting back together"). I do not like a lot the idea of considering streaming, but I also think that we have no choice, since the ifpi, the riaa and the bpi already use them. Adding streaming data would also mean that other songs would have sold more than 5m copies and that others would have higher total sales (just three examples: "party in the usa" has been certified 7 times platinum by the riaa, "bad romance" diamond and "super bass" 8 times platinum).

Can we use them? Should we use them?

sales

i found websites mentioning new sales for some singles: flo rida- low (12 million), good feeling (5 m), wild ones (5 m)http://www.wmg.com/newsdetails/id/8a0af812392985b701393080bb2f00c7 (although after checking, 'good felling', 'wild ones' and even 'whistle' have all sold 5.2 million each based on combined sales certifications) christina aguilera- lady marmalade http://web.archive.org/web/20020204010046/http://www.christina-a.com/billboardcharts1.html shakira- loca http://www.lahora.com.ec/index.php/noticias/show/1101256641/-1/Shakira%3A_un_%C3%A9xito_rotundo_en_el_2011.html#.UO6h3JGIX6Q (in spanish)

also several songs have sold more based on their combined sales certifications. these songs do not have solo references to proved the sales, but combined certificates does so. they include: physical:eye of the tiger (8.2 m), ill be missing you (7.1 m), youre the one that i want (6.6 m), thriller (5.6 m) and billie jean (5 m) digital: we are young (8.4 m), firework (8 m), someone like you (7.9 m), dynamite (7.4 m), hot n cold (7 m), fuck you (6.9 m), sexy and i know it (6.8 m), dint stop believing (6.7 m), lose yourself (6.6 m), right round (6.1 m), need you now (6.1 m), payphone (6.1 m), gangnam style (5.8 m), starships (5.7 m), fireflies (5.7 m), party in the usa (5.4 m), sexy bitch (5.3 m), set fire to the rain (5.2 m), teenage dream (5.2 m) and pumped up kicks (5 m).

Thrift Shop, Fuck you, Blurred Lines

Thrift Shop has sold more than 5M copies just counting US sales (Buzzjack list or Paul Grein Chart Watch) and has been certified 7 platinum by ARIA (so far...). However, since it is still selling well, the best thing could be waiting and see how many copies it will sell in the coming months, rather than listing it now and having to modify total sales 4-5 times.

Cee Lo Green's Fuck You have sold much more than 6.02M copies; the next week it will pass 6m in USA (Buzzjack list or Paul Grein Chart Watch), in UK it sold 898.000 copies (http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=141954), 320.000 in Canada (http://www.musiccanada.com/GPSearchResult.aspx?st=&ica=False&sa=Cee%20Lo%20Green&sl=&smt=0&sat=-1&ssb=Artist) and 210.000 in Australia (http://www.aria.com.au/pages/httpwww.aria.com.aupageshttpwww.aria.com.auSINGLEaccreds2011.htm). Total sales: 7.42 million. I think it is time to update it, since it should be in the 7-9.9M list.

Blurred Lines has sold over 600,000 copies and thus should be included

in order to see all songs you have to click the menu options after the filter tab several times because not all songs will be shown the first time. but i was able to check which have surpassed 5m according to both sites.

Sales and Streaming

I see that streamed songs are in some cases already counted as part of the total sales (for example all the singles in the last ifpi report, "dark horse" and "we are never ever getting back together"). I do not like a lot the idea of considering streaming, but I also think that we have no choice, since the ifpi, the riaa and the bpi already use them. Adding streaming data would also mean that other songs would have sold more than 5m copies and that others would have higher total sales (just three examples: "party in the usa" has been certified 7 times platinum by the riaa, "bad romance" diamond and "super bass" 8 times platinum).

Can we use them? Should we use them?
