according to wiki Hot Right Now has been certified platinum (600K+ sales)
^ I don't think it's going to be anything recent.
These days, the number of sales you need to get to get into the Top 40 is quite low compared to what it was in, say, the nineties.
I know some of the big Jungle tunes back in the 94 / 95 did sales of between 10,000 and 20,000 - heard 20,000 units quoted for Dred Bass's "Dead Dread"
Considering how many represses Origin Unknowns "Valley Of The Shadows" has had, I'm presuming that is right up there.
If you can count albums, then any of the tracks from Timeless or New Forms are probably up there too

Haha, shows what I know !
lol. was actually thinking the same thing as you, about 90s tunes needing to shift a lot more to crack the top 40...

Does streaming count in sales? Or otherwise are accounted for?
I would've said something like Incredible or Original Nuttah, but I guess Hot Right Now being a #1 hit clearly outsold the former two, especially if you count streaming
It frustrates me people would even talk about hot right now when we are talking drum & bass.
