Louise Redknapp's biggest singles on the Official UK Chart revealed
Louise's return to music in 2019 was one of the more unexpected comebacks of the last year. Even more surprising was the music itself - including singles Stretch and Lead Me On - picked up neatly where she left off with her purest-of-pure pop sound.
Before launching a solo career in 1995, Louise was a member of Eternal from 1992 and notched up six Top 20 hits with them, including Stay and Just A Step From Heaven. View Eternal's full Official Chart history here.
As a solo artist she scored another 12 Top 40 singles and three Top 10 albums before moving on to TV presenting. In 2016 she reached the final in the 14th series of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing and last year landeda role in Dolly Parton's West End musical 9 to 5. Look back at Louise's complete Official Chart history.
Louise's biggest song, based on sales and streams compiled the Official Charts Company, is Let's Go Round Again with 185,000 chart sales. Louise's version - a slick dance-pop take on the disco classic by Average White Band - performed better on the Official Chart than the original, reaching Number 10 in 1997 - two places higher than Average White Band's original in 1980.
1996's hip-swivelling Naked - the song that properly catapulted her solo success - is her second biggest song with 167,000 combined sales, Top 5 hit Arms Around The World is third on 159,000, and her - the - bitching anthem 2 Faced is fourth on 153,000.

Louise's 2003 comeback single Pandora's Kiss finishes just outside her Top 10 biggest singles at Number 11. Despite landing in the Top 5, the track was only recently added to streaming and download platforms.
When it comes to Louise's albums, her biggest is her 1996 solo debut Naked (268,000), closely followed by its 1997 follow-up Woman In Me (264,000).

If the OCC spent as much time getting the official charts correct as they have on this drivel then the top 100 might actually represent what's sold/streamed the most, in order, rather than being listed in a topsy turvy fashion.

OCC, those tabulated peak positions are wrong!
Aaron Scott Hagan
Yes they are wrong!! Wish they would say how many copies elbow beach sold

İt wâs reached silver in released year and silver award was giving more than 100.000 copies

Prior to 2013, certified awards were for copies shipped to stores not sales, so silver means 60,000 copies at retail. Could have sold more than that tho.
etin
album sales were low after 2002, so this reason they reduced silver award from 100.000 to 60.000 & gold award from 200.000 to 100.000

Thank you, as always, for Louise's Top 10. But I'm a bit confused. When you did this in August 2017, you said 2Faced had sold 160,000 copies. Now it is on 153,000. Please can you explain.

Did you really expect the OCC to be anything other than inconsistent with sales figures?!
