    		The largest selling single since records began is John Elton’s ‘Candle in the Wind 97’ at 33 million copies worldwide.

    However, there has been a debate between this song and Bing Crosby’s ‘White Christmas’, which was introduced before records began. 'White Christmas' has since been credited with selling 50 million copies worldwide, making this the largest selling single of all time.
