almost 18million single sales in the UK..top top top!

Not surprised by RIhannas stats....how many songs has she had out the past few years? still 7 million between them.

Albums sales will be interesting to see however DS should post them soon i reckon!”

It's easy to sell singles via digital download these days so I personally think it's a bit unfair to lump those figures together.

Rihanna will be luckly to sell anything near 10m if singles are only available on 7" and 12"!

i know some fans were surprised with `into the groove` being her biggest uk hit on that list. this is a mtv list highlighting her biggest selling singles in the uk and the figures were sourced from the occ.

Mad to think that Madonna is the Queen of the singles chart but has never had a million-selling single.

Exactly. There wasn't the option of just purchasing the single for 79p or however much on Amazon or iTunes back in the day. Fans had no choice but to pay between £1.99-£4.99 for the cassette, CD, 12" or 7" single. Download singles are also not deleted today like physicals were in the past which means they can stay on the chart a lot longer. This is why Gaga and Rihanna have managed to sell so many singles in such a short space of time and are nowhere near as impressive as Madonna and Kylie.

That is true the sales and price is what its about...i mean Kylie-Mania was in the UK in the late 80s...well PWL-Mania too tbh...or so i read :-O..And Madonna across three decades has achieved massive sales figures and stats...as well as the acclaim too

And yes what i also find interesting is people saying in comments well done to RIhanna, gaga and Beyonce for sales in current years yet they dont mention Britney Spears....is it like Britney had her "Mania" late 90s - early 00s that her current stuff gets overlooked more and is considered more of a vintage act?? absurd lol!

But yeah whether in 3 years RIhanna meets the stats or not Madonna is forever the real winner by a landslide

That is also pretty good going too also i feel she has sold millions of singles yet never had a million-seller...kudos! If a bit absurd in some ways...but its also part of that singles-albums-singles further-tour sales and marketing aspect too and that singles Madonna releases do provide a taster for the concepts of her albums more than singles being multi-million selling songs yet the album being dissinterested in and/or only singles standing out.

Its kinda a really massive consolidation to her ethic and drive as an artist too its sublime!

And it is interesting, of the top 10 of female singles artists several that are not on there have charted better on the albums sales side of things and/or have much lower selling albums as a result.

Only Madonna does both

From Ellen, Madonna on other singers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfcJ2o8s3dM

Madonna's so funny. She makes me laugh! I don't get why some people say she has no sense of humour.

I watched Universals Dracula and 28 Days Later earleir...the latter scared my ister sh!tless...i adore that grit....again 2003...something about armies and society rebelling in a metaphorical sense Maybe Danny Boyle is the British Madonna ...tbh i think every real artist has a bit of M inside em....the only downer is i missed Mon Ellen but everyone is raving about it so when i do catch it YAYA!!! will be hard now though :-S.

But i adore her humour, so dry and spontaneous!

Apparently this episode was the most watched Ellen show in 5 years surpassing the 3 million mark! .

Wowowowowo!! Madonna has pretty much garnered strongest ratings for all her interviews this year...dunno why...its only Madonna

That is fantastic though!

Unfortunately a lot of people in the NE US couldn't see it because it was preempted for coverage of the hurricane they're having there. So the ratings could have been even higher! I hope some kind soul puts it all on youtube for us here and also for the US people who couldn't see it because of the hurricane stuff.

The hurricane coverage is so fascinatingly dark stuff...my gosh for everyone in NY some of the pictures remind of Independance Day frightening!

And yes that is true i mean Madonna on Ellen is supermassive event...so for that to have over 3 million (i think sources have said 3.2 million) and set a new high is pretty much something awesomeness

The local news in the US is very sensationalist though when it comes to weather events though. My friend who lives in the US says it's not as bad as tv makes it seem. She is liking it because she gets two days off from work! She was going to tape the Ellen show for me and send it to me but that didn't work because it was preempted.
