Cher :: Charts & Sales History

[Mikerocha]

I am not surprised if it isn't certified. Her team and old labels seem to be really careless about her catalogue

[alfiebot]

^think that's cause Cher herself doesn't really care, so why should they... Oh well, still a big legend, certs or not

UK Best Selling Female Artists 1980-2013 (Singles, not including albums)

19. CHER (4,337,000)



27 HITS 1987-2013

BIGGEST HIT: BELIEVE

Famous as an actress for most of the 80s Cher’s return to music in 1988 heralded another decade in the top flight ending with her biggest hit ever, the 1.6 million selling “Believe” which set off a mini fad for the vocoder as an instrument in its own right and set the template for dance makeovers for other 60s singers like Diana Ross, Tina Turner and Lulu.

^cool, that number is bigger now of course, at least for some 300k-400k?

[alfiebot]

BTW her performances on the BBMAs were EPIC, the response on social media/reviews have been amazing too!
She's truly an original, the definition of a legend and an icon!

The 10 Best Performances of the 2017 Billboard Music Awards

6. Cher, “Believe”/“If I Could Turn Back Time”

There’s a reason that Cher was given the Icon Award on Sunday night: at 71 years old, the pop legend has now spent over a half-century entertaining people while staying true to her vision. Watching Cher perform two of her biggest solo hits at an awards show in 2017 is a treat, but she was up to the task of dazzling an arena and joining in with her flexible dance crew. While we too often need reminders to appreciate timeless musicians after they have stopped putting out new tunes, Cher -- who’s working on new music! -- is never forgotten, and at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, she lapped many of today’s hit makers.

new music!!!

[StephenN17]

^cool, that number is bigger now of course, at least for some 300k-400k?

Well Believe has only sold 30,000 more since then, so I doubt it would be more than 100,000 more sales extra now. Although it depends how many sales 8.5 million streams are, I still haven't found out how many sales it is!

[alfiebot]

Hmm, but that excerpt states Believe sold 1,6 million, while the latest report is 1,82 million, so that's already 200k extra?

[StephenN17]

I asked him and he said downloads were included and that he quoted the 90s sales by mistake.

[StephenN17]

Believe has sold an additional 57.7k copies due to the 8.5 million streams in the UK so Believe has sold approximately 1,877,700 copies in the UK.

[alfiebot]

^That's cool, almost 1,9 million!

Hmm, do they count streaming into the album sales in the UK? I'm so curious to know what the 'Closer to the Truth' sales are there, it was 56k or 57k the last time we had updates, and that was in early 2014!

Speaking of that era, I found out recently that 'I Hope You Find It' debuted at #6 on UK's Official Physical Singles Chart!

[StephenN17]

Yeah I saw that recently as well. It was never released on CD though here, but I think it was available on Amazon to buy, although I'm sure it had some German writing on it so it must have been sales from that.

[LonelyDreamer]

What about CTTT sales?

WW - 750-760k?

USA - ~345k (mid-2014); 585k (2017)
UK - ~60k (oct, 2014)
Canada - 44,986 (as of May 23rd, 2014)
Germany - ~33k (mid-2014)
Brazil - 10k (mid-2014)
Australia - +10k (mid-2014)

[StephenN17]

That 585k can't be right for the US, 585k for the worldwide sales sounds about right.

[alfiebot]

What about CTTT sales?

I'd say the ww sales of CTTT are definitely about/over 600k, not counting the streaming which of course wouldn't contribute much anyway.

USA - 350-370k
Canada - 50k
UK - 59k
Germany - 35k
Brazil - 10k
Australia - 12k

A great result for a 25th album in a 50 year-long career!

[adamf2thedeath]

Has CTTT been certified silver in the uk yet?

[StephenN17]

From Billboard:

Billboard Icon Award winner Cher’s one-two punch of “Believe” and “If I Could Turn Back Time” was a big winner, too. “Believe,” a four-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 in 1999, jumped 499 percent (to 4,000 sold) while “If I Could Turn Back Time,” a No. 3 hit in 1989, zoomed 578 percent (to 4,000).

No totals? Last Cher total sales update Billboard gave was in 2010/2011!?

The last updates of her US song sales from another source was in 2013:

36,546, "We All Sleep Alone" (updated 7/3/13)
487,395, "If I Could Turn Back Time" (updated 7/3/13)
161,184, "Just Like Jesse James" (updated 7/3/13)
273,058, "After All" (with Peter Cetera) (updated 7/3/13)
130,674, "I Found Someone" (updated 7/3/13)
538,912, "Believe" (updated 7/3/13)
105,746, "Strong Enough" (updated 7/3/13)
120,900 , "(This Is) A Song For the Lonely" (updated 7/3/13)
172,465, "You Haven't Seen The Last of Me" (updated 7/3/13)
43,147, "Woman's World" (updated 7/11/13)

That being said, Believe is probably at around 650k and IICTBT around 550k digital sales.
