The best global selling single of 2018 goes to Camila Cabello with ‘Havana’. Furthermore, the track sold more than 19 million copies worldwide last year according to the IFPI. A large amount of those were “equivalent” sales made up of streams on audio and video platforms.

The track which came first in an all star studded playlist saw her beat Drakes ‘God’s Plan’ by 4 million sales and both Ed Sheeran songs ‘Shape Of You’ and ‘Perfect’.

Here Is The Top 10
