Surprise!

If I Could Turn Back Time SPS: 1,380,000 - certified Gold. Eligible for Platinum with the RIAA. (Maybe 2xP?)

I Got You Babe SPS: 1,190,000 - not certified. Eligible for Platinum with the RIAA.

That's amazing, thank you! These are great sales, much higher than I thought! It would be great to see the Burlesque and Mamma Mia songs she did as well!

Wow, thank you!!!

‘Turn Back Time’ sold in the range of 800k physical singles so it sure is eligible for 2xPlatinum!

‘I Got You Babe’ has reportedly sold a few million in the US during the 60s so it very well could be eligible for 3xPlatinum!

These all sold at least 1 million worldwide (physical, downloads and streaming included) based on articles in Cash Box, Record World, etc and their available download and streaming info.

I'm not so sure about 'Dead Ringer For Love' but a pro-user on Haven forum estimates it sold about 800k sold in the UK alone (350-400k physical and about 350k SPS). Also not sure about 'Walking in Memphis', but as it has great streams, it's downloads total could be quite good too.

Awesome! Thank you thank you thank you!

[alfiebot]

‘Just Like Jesse James’ may very well be eligible for Platinum too!

Some estimates over the years were over 600k physical copies in the US, it was #77 on the 1990 year-end chart and it debuted on the charts in 1989.

It’s pretty remarkable for a single that didn’t have a proper music video and no TV promotion/performances, and the same goes for ‘After All’ too!

[alfiebot]

‘Dead Ringer For Love’ sold 282,479 copies since February 1994, so counting its physical sales the total is about 650-700k in the UK.

[thebigham]

From the Gold album of the same name...

Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves Sales Plus Streaming: 563,000 - certified Gold as a physical single for 1 million copies.

[StephenN17]

^Thanks thebigham!

[alfiebot]

Those are great sales, thank you again mr Bigham!

[alfiebot]

''Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again'' is certified 2x Platinum in the UK.

From the Mermaids Sdtk...

The Shoop Shoop Song Sales Plus Streaming: 302,000

Did this single sell 198,000 copies in 1990 so that it could be certified Gold with the RIAA?

Awesome - thank you again!!!

It spent 16 weeks on the Hot 100 so it's probably eligible for Gold or is very close.There was also a dance maxi single released in 1997 which charted on the Dance Singles Sales chart...

This is due to both songs being performed on a UK TV show called Starstruck, where members of the public perform as different artists in order to win £50,000, the Cher tribute artist has made it to the final so there will be another Cher song performed (most likely Believe) in early April.

That’s great! Also the cast of the UK’s version of The Cher Show has been revealed so hopefully that will spark some additional interest in Cher’s music!

The Cher Show is just a regional tour though, as opposed to a West End transfer (annoyingly). I was looking at tickets the other day and it hasn’t sold much, sadly.

From the 1987 Platinum album, Cher...

I Found Someone Sales Plus Streaming: 293,000

If this sold 207,000 copies as a physical single, it would be eligible for Gold with the RIAA.

Thanks thebigham, I'm surprised Just Like Jesse James is higher than I Found Someone, still great to see the sales!
