Those are just pure sales. 'Something New' is very close to Silver with streams included! :D

Oh :lol: Classic OCC being inconsistent as ever with their definition of 'sales'.

A pity that a lot of these sales are from so long ago. :cry:

I wonder which will come first - The Promise going Platinum, or Biology going Silver?

Previous update for Call the Shots was 325,000 as of November 2014.

March 26, 20187 yr

Thanks for the update Jay - nice to see Call The Shots is slowly but surely approaching 400k! :lol:

So Biology and The Promise will be the next certifications, and perhaps The Loving Kind and then Call The Shots?

I reckon Jump and Something Kinda Ooooh are well over 300k now, and I'll Stand By You and Love Machine are probably over 250k.

Two new updates *.*

311,928 - Something Kinda Ooooh

292,827 - Love Machine

An increase of...

...almost 83,000 for Love Machine since September 2014 (3 years, 9 months)

...almost 67,000 for Something Kinda Ooooh since April 2010 (8 years, 2 months)

Seinfeld you must be right about Jump being over 300k! I reckon it will have a higher total than SKO considering Jump's streaming is stronger.

Wow at 'Love Machine' when compared to 'Something Kinda Ooh'! Both are classic, big Girls Aloud hits but I think it highlights just how much of a signature hit 'Love Machine' is and how it is viewed and appreciated by the wider audience.

Great to see that they have 6 songs near enough passed the 300k mark. Feels slightly more reflective of their impact.

June 12, 20187 yr

Agreed! I'm glad some of their sales are looking somewhat more healthy. It's such a shame that their heyday occurred at a time when physicals were on their way out and downloads were only beginning to take off. Nowadays a Silver certification isn't a big deal, yet it really was an indicator of a big hit in the mid 2000s. :lol:

Love Machine ended 2004 on total sales of just 94,000 - which obviously looks jarringly low compared to figures we're used to seeing these days. It was the 49th best seller of 2004... the 49th best seller of 2017 sold 615,000! :drama:

Obviously it's impossible to directly compare the charts of then with now... but I'd say in terms of how big Love Machine felt back then & its endurance as one of their signature hits, in comparison to today's sales levels, it does feel like it should be a Platinum certified single.

I wonder how close in sales I'll Stand By You and Can't Speak French are? CSF's 200k figure from July 2013 is only based on the fact it received a silver certification by default when BPI decided to change their rules - so we don't know exactly when it crossed 200k. It was on 185,000 in April 2010. I'll Stand By You's 234k from November 2016 is without streaming. I would assume that ISBY is still ahead.

I also hope that Biology isn't too far away from becoming silver certified, then they'll have 10 certified singles!

Love Machine is featured on 'Get Home Happy' which is advertised on Spotify daily, which is getting it a lot of streams (as well as 'Cheesy Hit' and 'Best of British'). I wish a couple more of their past hits were featured on some of the official playlists. The Saturdays 'Ego' and 'Higher' benefited from this hugely, too. I'm happy 'Love Machine' at least is getting the streams. But I wish it was 'Call The Shots', 'The Promise' and 'Biology' which were getting some decent streams too to get them closer to their certifications. The fact 'Biology' has never been certificated is a crime - it's their only big memorable hit that hasn't got one!
