92. Eminem, "Lose Yourself," 1,007,000. This 2002 smash is the oldest song among the 100 best-selling songs of 2012.This brings its sales to date to 4,241,000 copies, which is impressive because the song was already seven months old when the iTunes store opened in April 2003. The song logged 12 weeks at #1, beginning in November 2002. The motivational anthem is the "Theme From 'Rocky'" of the hip-hop era.

This is pretty amazing: Lose Yourself sold 1 million copies in 2011, over 8 years since it's release. Still influencing millions of people years on.
