Poor Happy, it didn't deserve to get punched out this hard by Turning Tables and Most Girls  

 

Poor Leona, she also could have had 3 in the top 5 had she kept Burn and Halo.  

[Kylie Jenner]

Ella  

[kelly-clarkson]

Oh wow I didn't know Ryan wrote Wings by Birdy. I love that song 

[Harranger]

Wings is the best song on that list

[Karasu]

Ella STOMPING though. I knew Ghost was a big hit there but not that big.

[alfonso12]

I didn't know Ghost was that big, it must have been massive if it was bigger than Bleeding Love.

 

Didn't know either that he did Got 2 Luv U by Sean Paul, what a classic.

 

Adele's and Taylor's album tracks being bigger than Demi's single.

 

[ordi]

Where's Ella now? I kinda dig some of her old songs

I think it includes some streaming numbers while Bleeding Love is all pure sales 

[Phoenixstar]

Bleeding Love, a literal pure classic. 

[UnusualBoy]

Whew, Ghost, Bleeding Love, Halo, Wings, XO, Happier  

[Genius1111]

Halo at #3 on the all-time list, but Already Gone is nowhere to be seen (it peaked at #66, so I am not expecting anything.) Already Gone could have been a smash there too.

All include streaming. About 300k from Bleeding Love don’t come from sales so it’s fair tbh.

[tiagol88]

Ihad no idea Ghost was bigger in the Uk than Bleeding Love! 

[Darius]

I've never heard the 'Ghost' song

[BtDecember]

Welcome to New York

[Shelter]

Didn't know Halo was so close to BL. 

[Pink Ranger]

Battlefield and Neon Lights  

[Doogle]

Ghost was EVERYWHERE

 

A classic  

[QueenB4]

Meh, Ghost is lowkey forgotten.

 

Bleeding Love, Halo & XO  

[Frozen99]

ghost overpowering bleeding love wow

[PromptingSilver]

Never heard of ghost. I'm aware of it but I thought it was just a random song by a random artist

Bleeding Love, Halo & XO  

Ghost's recurrent stats are great tho, last update it was like 300k below that.

[Mkirilenkofan]

JUSTICE FOR LEONA

[Champion Cynthia]

Ghost isn’t actually bigger than Bleeding Love, it’s not a fair comparison. Songs nowadays almost always are higher in SPS. 

 

Also mess at WTNY outdoing Demi’s single
