10 Michael Bublé - Call Me Irresponsible - 1.796.000 copies (1.796.000 copies )
Here it is for the Top Singles:
01 02 NELLY FURTADO – SAY IT RIGHT 5,547,000
02 01 GWEN STEFANI feat AKON – THE SWEET ESCAPE 5,530,000
03 03 JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE – WHAT GOES AROUND... COMES AROUND 4,638,000

05 05 MIKA – GRACE KELLY 4,017,000
06 06 BEYONCE – IRREPLACEABLE 3,724,000
07 07 NELLY FURTADO – ALL GOOD THINGS (COME TO AN END) 3,425,000
08 08 BEYONCE & SHAKIRA – BEAUTIFUL LIAR 3,379,000
09 09 TIMBALAND feat NELLY FURTADO & JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE – GIVE IT TO ME 3,133,000
10 10 MAROON 5 – MAKES ME WONDER 3,121,000
Since then, no other list was published. We're already two months from June, so... things are different now... However, "Loose" sold almost 4,1 million copies only in 2007 (7,2 in total)... and Linkin Park's "Minutes to Midnignt" sold 4,0 million copies. So, by now, "Loose" is still the best selling album of the year.
"Say it right" keeps the number 1... and probably it will keep that spot by the end of the year... since "Umbrella", its strongest competition, has put "Girlfriend" behind but hasn't yet reached "The sweet escape"... In the other hand, "say it right" keeps joining points... so...
