Back in the album era, people prefer buying album than physical single
the best selling single ,we are the world, Candle in the wind 1997 , are both non-album tracks
the 1.9 million sales of like A Virgin is huge in 80s

The song Like A virgin , not single, sold over 24 million times in USA when we consider the Studio album sales and complication sales

The so-called diamond singles in digital era are usually far behind this.
So did Vogue which sold 16 million times in USA.
Even no need to mention the price of 12’’ single
They did sell so many times!
Because when an album was sold, all the tracks were sold at the same times, each of them shares the royalties.
