The following is a list of best-selling singles by country . Depends on the measurement, record sales of songs are taken by estimations or certifications .
Sheet music dominated the early stage of music publishing industry with many individual titles selling millions of "copies". Before the start of the "album era " in the mid-1960s, the singles format dominated the recording industry in a number of countries, and once again during the ongoing streaming era in the early late-2000s.
Note that some of the data are incomplete due to a lack of available published data from a number of territories, unlike the United Kingdom and the United States with recognized national measurement firms and certifying bodies such as Official Charts Company /British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and Nielsen SoundScan /Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) respectively. Therefore, it is not an exhaustive list, so no rankings are given in certain cases.
