text: List of best-selling singles
Best-selling physical singles -- 10–14.9 million copies

This article is a compendium of the best-selling music singles. The criterion for inclusion on the list is to have sold at least five million copies worldwide. The singles listed here were cited by reliable sources from various media, such as digital journalism, newspapers, magazines, and books.

Also, Guinness World Records states that double A-side charity single Candle in the Wind 1997/Something About the Way You Look Tonight (1997) by Elton John (which was originally written in 1973, in honour of Marilyn Monroe, who had died 11 years earlier.

Active and past races -- By race title

The following is a complete list of World Championship races (often, but not always, called Grands Prix) that have been a part of the FIA World Championship since its inception in 1950. The terms Formula One Grand Prix, Formula One race, and World Championship race were not always synonymous throughout history - see Formula One#Distinction between Formula One and World Championship races for a detailed explanation. Major auto racing events are often named Grands Prix (the plural form of Grand Prix), a tradition dating back to the first decade of the 20th century and the Grand Prix motor racing of the 1920s and 1930s. As of the 2019 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, 1,018 World Championship races have been held, including the Indianapolis 500 races which were a part of the World Championships from 1950 until 1960 despite not being named a Grand Prix. As of 2019[update], a World Championship Grand Prix must have a scheduled race distance of at least 305 km (190 mi), with the exception of the Monaco Grand Prix (which must have a scheduled race distance of at least 260 km (160 mi)), and no race can run for more than 2 hours.

Question: How many Grammy nods were received by the musicians with the record Sigh No More that is featured on the/ Triple J Hottest 100 , 2009 ?

text: Triple J Hottest 100, 2009
Top 20 Albums of 2009

The 2009 Triple J's Hottest 100 Volume 17, was announced on Australia Day 26 January 2010. It is the seventeenth countdown of the most popular songs of the year, as chosen by the listeners of Australian radio station Triple J. Voting commenced on Boxing Day, 26 December 2009, and closed on 17 January 2010. 1.1 million votes were received, a record number. Controversy began when it was rumoured that the winner had been unintentionally leaked by the ABC. The ABC Shop website promoted the February issue of Jmag with a description stating Topping the 2009 countdown is Mumford & Sons' 'Little Lion Man'. Triple J neither confirmed nor denied the rumour with some even claiming it was a hoax, amounting to a clever marketing campaign. The leak led Sportingbet Australia to close all betting on the countdown. The leak proved to be accurate. For the first time, the number one song was performed live on air by the winning artist, Mumford & Sons, from Triple J studios, followed by the studio version of the song.
