See here: List of best-selling singles by year (Germany)
Germany is the largest music market in Europe, and the third largest in the world.[1] This is a list of the best-selling singles in Germany that have been certified by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI). Since January 1, 2003, BVMI certifies an album platinum for the shipment of 300,000 copies across Germany. [2] All albums in this list must have been certified for at least a million copies.
Certifications for albums released in Germany depend upon their release date.

- 1 by The Beatles was certified 11× Gold in 2007.[6] Since this album was released prior to January 1, 2003, every Gold certification it receives denotes 150,000 copies shipped. Thus at 11× Gold, 1.65 million copies of the album have been shipped across Germany.
‡ Usually the BVMI does not give a 6× Gold certification, but a 3× Platinum instead.[7] The reason for this singular certification is unclear.
