Talk:Best-selling singles worldwide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Creation

Please add any details of worldwide best selling singles. Original list is from several sources. BandAid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" reported on many news sites as selling 50 million, but as Elton John's "Candle In The Wind" is regarded as best selling single of all time, have used the next highest found.

[edit] Bing Crosby - White Christmas

Anyone with the GBR 2007 who can confirm that sales of 50m are mentioned?

-- I checked the 2007 edition and it says: Bring Crosby's "White Christmas" is the biggest selling single of all time selling 50 million (estimate). It also says that Elton John's "Candle In The Wind 1997" is the biggest selling single 'since records began' selling 33 million. 60.234.242.196 07:13, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Then how come "Candle In The Wind 1997" is under a section titled "At least 35 million"? Are we assuming it sold another 2 million or so since the publication of GBR 2007? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.69.160.1 (talk) 14:21, 7 February 2007 (UTC).
