Robin Thicke and more: The best selling singles of the millenium

Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' has been revealed as the biggest selling single of 2013 in the UK and the US. How depressing.

However, the biggest selling single of any year is never usually a fair representation of the best a year has to offer, and is all too often remembered as a bit of an embarassment, if it is remembered at all. So it begs the question will we remember Robin Thicke and his sexist smash in the years to come?

Well the only way to find out is to look backwards at the biggest selling singles of yesteryear in order to see if they've stood the test of time. The answer is a mixed bag with a mixture of novelty tunes, X Factor and Christmas tracks that we'd happily leave festering in the bargain bin. Check out the biggest selling singles of the millenium so far...
