Yaaay for The Hills, Jess Glynne and Will Young reaching silver!!! Didn't realise that Fighter and Sweet Home Alabama took a while to get to the 200k mark!! I also love that Video Games is now Platinum!!

 

Great for Sheezus (finally!!) and Jess' album to reach the Gold threshold!!

Brilliant to see 'Shine' at Gold already. I'm hoping they can make platinum before the year ends.

 

I had no idea 'Video Games' had sold that much - slay Lana. I'm glad she now has a platinum single that isn't just a remix.

 

It's also good to see Sheezus at Gold!

Video Games platinum :heart: One of my favourite songs ever :heart:

Also yay for sheezus going gold :cheer:

I know you meant platinum but this was still funny to read :lol:

 

Surprised to see You Need Me, I Don't Need You reaching gold, considering how short its chart run seemed to be I wouldn't have expected many trickle sales, but then again it is Ed Sheeran!

I'll definitely be streams that helped it most - people probably streamed the album opposed to searching specifically for that song. Glad to see it pass Gold, always seemed overlooked yet it's one of my favourites from him.

It's saddening that so few artist albums have gone silver this year, yet something as anonymous as the House Every Weekend compilation can manage it. I guess there's still a lot of money in the compilation market for record labels :o

The Compilations sector part of the market has continued to increase its sales year on year. To last Thursday over 13 million compilation albums have been sold this year which is a 1.6% increase to this point last year. This accounts for 27.5% of all albums sold this year. Artist albums have declined in sales by 10.6% this year.

Total sales for 'Sweet Home Alabama' by Lynyrd Skynyrd are now in excess of 700,000. It sold over 300,000 copies as part of the Free Bird EP, which is an enormous sale for a record that peaked at number 21. Initially 'Sweet Home Alabama' was the main listed side when it first charted in 1976 but when it recharted in both 1979 and 1982 the name of the EP was listed as the title. Alan Jones reported in Record Mirror in 1989 that the EP had sold over 300,000 copies. It has now sold a further 400,000 copies in its own right with a peak of number 44.
