https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_singles#15_million_copies_or_more
Saved it in Wiki, this photo is more than enough proof.
Wiki says White Christmas with 50 mil and 97 version of 'Candle in the Wind' with 33 mil. Wow.Amazing. Great news.
Since this looks so official I guess it has been certified (or what it is calles)
How many copies has the best selling single in the world sold??
Don't know how accurate Wikipedia numbers are. Here is the mediatraffic all time chart:

4 | Happy - Pharrell Williams Back Lot / Columbia - 2014 - 14.844.000 points |
7 | Uptown Funk! - Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars RCA - 2014 - 14.237.000 points |
10 | I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas Interscope - 2009 - 13.044.000 points |
haha-that's so funny. ONLY 30 million-Oh my gosh, it's a terrible album-nobody likes it and nobody is buying it. Oh, noooooooooooo.Fantastic achievement! Another fun little fact to add to the Bad album also! I remember reading a not so complementary review of Bad25 when it was released as the original album "not doing anywhere near Thriller" like 30 million albums is so poor lol. Now the album has the third biggest selling single of "All Time!" I feel like going all Kanye on the critics!
I do not believe that list... - NOT AT ALL....
4 Happy - Pharrell Williams

10 I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas
Interscope - 2009 - 13.044.000 points
Though I know these songs were very popular - I can not believe that they are on the top 10 list of best selling singles of all time!????

It used to be so HARD to get in the top 10, not to mention #1. So darn hard. This is sad in a way.Today single (or album track) costs 0,99 or 1,29 $ and you can get it online. Also streaming counts. Back in the days you had to go to the record store and buy CD or Vinyl for 5-10 $. The game has changed and it's not fair anymore. Next week for example Rihanna will have her 14th #1 single in US (one more than MJ).

This is not for the sales of MITM singles but for the Bad album as a whole. She posted the same last October for IJCSLY as those were her two contributions to the album.

I guess the person who edited Wikipedia read the story the same way we did-they edited in that MITM was at #3 and now it's edited out.This is not for the sales of MITM singles but for the Bad album as a whole.

You have to keep in mind that while the Internet era is maybe not good for album sales it's absolutely great for singles sales. That's why I don't think all the whinings about the Internet killing the music industry are totally justified. In some ways it actually helps sales - singles is one area. I have never bought phyiscal singles (except for one occasion) but I have bough many digital songs because it is easier and cheaper. So I can believe those numbers for songs that go viral today.
