22. Jealous

mr_aly favourite, Jealous by Labrinth, proved to be a good source of Jameelaisms...

 

Every single person responsible for 'Jealous' certification should be deeply ashamed of themselves. -_-

 

I guess the former was a joke then.

Well done Sherlock.

The Prodigy getting that certification yay ~ Hope it can at least go gold before the end of the year.

I'd prefer '1985' to get the certification over 'Girl All the Bad Guys Want' but both are good songs anyway.

 

Very happy 'U + Ur Hand' has passed 200k - always been one of my favourites from P!nk; full of attitude!

 

Shame Tom Odell only really did well with the worst of the singles - 'Hold Me' and 'Can't Pretend' are MUCH more deserving!

Another Love is easily my favourite by Tom actually! It's a stellar album but Another Love was the one that clicked with me more than any other. Ranking his singles:

 

1. Another Love

2. Real Love

3. Grow Old With Me

4. Can't Pretend

5. I Know

6. Hold Me

 

He picked the perfect five singles from the album though I think, I love all of them tracks :heart:

 

YAY for Ariana/Iggy too, Problem still sounds great to me :heart:

1989 :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Also yay for Forrest Gump, bowling for soup, muse and problem :heart: :cheer:

Time Is Running Out & U + Ur Hand :wub:

Very pleased about the certification updates for 'Gettin' Over You' and 'Hey Ya!' - particularly the latter as it is quite the achievement for a 2003 single to hit Platinum.

Pleased for 'Hey Ya' - The current 59p promo on iTunes must have given it the few extra sales it needed :cheer:

Style has gone silver :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Fantastic sales for a song that missed the top 20 :heart:

Yay for Magnetic Man on the basis that 'Perfect Stranger' with Katy B is gorgeous. :wub:

:cheer: at S Club 7 going Gold - I'm guessing they must have been close and the reunion and tour has pushed enough people to buy and stream the song

Yass Have You Ever :heart: Actually expected its sales to be lower than that although I guess sales hadn't collapsed hugely by that point!

Yass Have You Ever :heart: Actually expected its sales to be lower than that although I guess sales hadn't collapsed hugely by that point!

It's sales were 340,850 in 2001 (it was the 21st best seller of the year) so the track has been selling a decent amount each year since download sales were first counted for certification purposes in November 2004, plus it will have had a few streaming sales in the past year.

 

Ah brilliant! Thanks :D I've never been too clued up on their sales actually, was too young to be following charts and stuff at the time :kink:

Wow just realised that 'Don't Look Back Into The Sun' by The Libertines has gone silver!! Quite an achievement for a song that was released in the low sales climate of 2003 and has never returned to the Top 100 after its initial poor chart run of 11-37-47-72.

 

The same for 'Chop Suey' by System of a Down - Again hardly a big seller/hit in 2001 (17-29-46-60-84-87) and has never troubled the charts since - I guess both must have sold steadily every week and been boosted by streaming.
