Strange that it says "This chart is based on streams only of songs by 'Diana Ross' and 'Diana Ross & The Supremes'."
Strange because there are clearly some 'Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye' songs in there, but not credited as such. And also it looks like they didn't included any songs by 'The Supremes' as I'm sure at least a few such as Stop!, Baby Love & You Can't Hurry Love would have been in the 40.
Rightly or wrongly the Official Charts Company ruling on Diana Ross is that if she is specifically designated on a release then it is regarded as being part of her catalogue.
Basically this means everything from Reflections onwards when the group name changed to Diana Ross & The Supremes including duets, collaborations etc.
If the singles credited just to The Supremes were included then You Can't Hurry Love would be #1.
Interesting since it was outsold at the time of release by Where Did Our Love Go, Baby Love, Reflections and a couple of post-Diana Supremes singles [[Stoned Love and Nathan Jones).
I'm Coming Out is a little way behind YCHL but these two are miles ahead of anything else in the digital age.
Just to show the mess that the OCC is when they produced a list of artists physical sales a few years back they DIDN'T include the Diana-fronted [[in title) Supremes' singles in her total!
