Another little sales fact for you. Wish I Could Fly sold 2,479,000 copies in 1999 to become the 39th biggest selling single of that year.
Yay!

(on the right of the screen, go to the section with ’Tracks’ as it’s title, click on the icon beside ’previous charts’ and go down to 1999. Then click on ’Countdown 1999’.)

I think there has been a misunderstanding - WICF got 2.479.000 POINTS (compiled from who knows which charts exactly and how), it didn’t sell that many copies!

Why did you want 8 copies of the same record??? One is enough...
animalkingdom said on September 16, 2004 07:59:
Yeah, just like Starrox already said - - it isn’t that many copies SOLD, it clearly says “2.479.000 POINTS”.
Singles that scratch the top 20’s just cannot sell that many units - by these standards “Have A Nice Day” should’ve sold nearly 16 000 000 copies!
Anyway, the official WICF sales are around 400 000 units...

Sorry, but I think that is a waste of money. I just have one, and I’m very happy with it. I don’t like to have the some tracks in a lot of records. I prefer to buy something different instead...

Im with ’ditroia’, the more the merrier :) If you want to have 1 cd then thats up to you, if we want 20 of the same thing thats up to us. Im sorry, but I think your missing out on alot of tracks you dont have.

Mostly ebay, also swapping and buying from traders.
Someone has to have a hobby.

The more singles you have, the better it is for ROXETTE. I also would buy many singles if I had a lot of money.

Is it really that hard to read the previous answers before replying? *sigh*
ditroia said on September 24, 2004 05:13:
I don’t have a lot of money, I just collected the mover time. You have to remember that WICF was released in 99 so I’ve had 5 years to collect.
