But to Sup's point, it stands to reason that some songs were "instant" million sellers, while others have raked up the sales over time.
My gut tells me that "Where", "Baby Love", "Come See", "Stop", "Hurry", "Hangin", "Gonna", "Love Child", "Someday", and "Stoned" were probably instant million. I would not be surprised if "My World" and "Reflections" and "Ladder" were also instant million sellers, but I'm guessing they might have fallen just short of "instant".
