De bedst sælgende singler på verdensplan

"White Christmas" sunget af Bing Crosby (billedet) er den mest solgte single på verdensplan.

Ifølge Guinness World Records er julesangen "White Christmas" skrevet af Irving Berlin og sunget af Bing Crosby fra 1942 den bedste sælgende single på verdensplan med et estimeret salg på over 50 millioner eksemplarer. Sangen, der anses som den bedst sælgende single nogensinde, blev udgivet før pop/rock-single æraen, og allerede i den første udgave af Guinness Rekordbog (1955) blev den anset som den bedst sælgende single og bemærkelsesværdigt har singlen fortsat denne titel mere end 50 år senere. Guinness World Records anfører, at dobbelt A-singlen "Candle in the Wind 1997/Something About the Way You Looke Tonight" af Elton John fra 1997, en hyldest til den afdøde Prinsesse Diana, er "den bedst sælgende single siden Storbritannien og USA begyndte med der singlehitlister i 1950'erne, og har en samlet salg på over 33 millioner eksemplarer", hvilket gør det til den næstbedst sælgende single nogensinde.

De kunstnere, der har udgivet flest singler på listen, er Elvis Presley og Katy Perry, med seks sange hver, og Lady Gaga, Beyoncé og Britney Spears med fem hver. Det samlede salg for hver af dem er henholdsvis 53 millioner, ~40 millioner, ~47 millioner, ~35 millioner og 33 millioner.

På grund af muligheden for at downloade kommercielt musik sælges oftere singler frem for hele albummer, en øget popularitet der ser ud til at have smittet af på salget af musik i fysiske formater. Listen er derfor opdelt i digitale og fysiske singler (CD og vinyl).[1] Transportable musikafspillere, der gør det nemt at høre sange fra forskellige kunstnere, siges at have været en stor faktor i dette.

Singler, hvis salg er en samling af de tilgængelige markeder, i stedet for et verdensomspændende salg, er angivet med kursiv. Disse salgstal er derfor hverken komplettet eller definitive.
