LONDON (AFP) ― Elton John leads in the list of 123 songs that have sold a million copies in Britain, which was released on Monday by the Official Charts Company to mark 60 years of ranking the best-selling singles.

The biggest-selling single is John’s double A-side “Something About The Way You Look Tonight” and “Candle In The Wind 1997” ― the latter being the version of the song he sang at the funeral of Diana, princess of Wales.

It spent five weeks at number one in Britain in 1997 and shifted 4.9 million copies.

Second place went to the 1984 Band Aid charity single “Do They Know It’s Christmas?,” which sold 3.69 million copies, while Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” released in 1975, sold 2.36 million.

The Official Charts Company is publishing a book af all 123 million-selling singles in Britain, starting from 1952.

“It is apt that, as we prepare to celebrate 60 years of the official singles chart in the U.K., we do so at a time of unprecedented demand for the single, with this year set to be the biggest year on record for sales of this format,” said managing director Martin Talbot.

“This demand is also translating in to the largest number of million-sellers we have seen ― this is truly the era of the super hit.”

Ten years ago when the chart celebrated its 50th birthday, only 76 singles had notched up a million sales.
