It means their most recent minimum certified single release is from 2016 which isn't too long ago. Giants could possibly go Silver in time, having peaked higher than Cry. However, Cry had 8 weeks and Giants 3 weeks in UK top 100. This post has been edited by nirvanamusic: 24th February 2019, 03:29 PM

Cry is now on bigger sales than some of their huge hits and classic hits. The power of streaming but in large i don't think it reflects a big hit in the same way sales do and this is a solid example.

Cry was defiantly kept in the setlist for years after release keeping it's exposure up. This is what they would need to do to defy chart positions and sales/streams that come from obvious exposure relating to chart positions. These are the singles yet to reach Silver (minimum certification) for Take That now: Possibles and unlikely in my opinion. Possible Do What U Like (possible due to infamy and continued referencing - even if for comedy purpose) It Only Takes a Minute (likely through trickle sales and rare plays still - all top 10 singles should have met this minimum criteria) Up All Night (possible though it's hype has worn off a little these days) Said It All (as above and all their top 10's should really go at least Silver) Hold Up a Light (hard to judge this one in terms of continued sales/streams as no chart success like two above - would need to go outside just fanbase) Love Love (has the chart position but not so much exposure these days) Giants (Still gets some exposure as backing music on tv but would need a push) Unlikely Promises Once You've Tasted Love I Found Heaven I'd Wait For Life Kidz When We Were Young Let In The Sun Hey Boy New Day Pray (OV) Out Of Our Heads To answer above question Take That UK Single Platinum Certifications: To show length of time taken I've gone first to last based on date achieved not order of release. Babe Back For Good How Deep Is Your Love Patience Rule The World (2x) The Flood Greatest Day Shine Never Forget These Days 10 Platinum singles in total - 4 90's, 4 00's and 2 10's. Currently sitting at Gold level. Pray 1 90's. Currently sitting at Silver level. Could It Be Magic Why Can't I Wake Up With You Relight My Fire Everything Changes Love Ain't Here Anymore Sure A Million Love Songs Cry 7 90's, 1 10's. 19 singles overall certified in UK: 12 90's, (4.2 mil) 4 00's, (3 mil) 3 10's. (1.4 mil) As we know it was in album sales they really took off the second time around from a few big selling singles. the 19 Single certs and album represented. Combined single sales from certified singles in brackets. 6 Everything Changes (1.8 mil) 3 Beautiful World (2.4 mil) 3 Nobody Else (1.4 mil) 2 Take That & Party (400k) 1 The Circus (600k) 1 Greatest Hits (600k) 1 Progress (600k) 1 III (600k) 1 Wonderland (200k) This post has been edited by nirvanamusic: 21st March 2019, 04:20 AM
