Heroes is platinum!! :wub:

Is this Tove Lo's first platinum single? I think Stay High is still at Gold.

 

Edit: Just realised that Years & Years' 'Desire' has gone platinum. This features Tove Lo so will she get credited for that? Her first two platinum singles in one week! :o

I don't think it will, most of its sales were obtained through the original and it doesn't even register in her chart history as far as I know?

:o at the Dappy album randomly going silver 5 years after release, and love that 5,6,7,8 by Steps has gone gold :wub:

I thought the Tove Lo re-issue sold more?

Nope, it was on like 400k at least I think by the time the re-issue came about! It doesn't count as a hit for Tove as it was basically just a remix unfortunately.

From BPI,

We have lots of multi-Platinum awards to give out today!

1 album is going 11x Platinum!!! Who could it be?

 

I bet that it is Beatles 1.

Just been confirmed.

 

3.3 million sales for @thebeatles' compilation album '1' means that it is now 11x Platinum in the UK!

 

Amazing!

I would love to see the breakdown in sales-per-year for 'Desire' and 'Eyes Shut' if you have them!
Desire is now only the third song to go Platinum without making the UK top 20, I believe. First was Dog Days Are Over, followed by Summer of '69.

:lol: It actually went into the top 40 both times it was released.

'Shine a Light' sold 324k by the end of 2011; 76k sold since.

 

At a guess, 'True Faith' sold ~220k in 1987, putting its total at ~420k to date. The Silver certification should include the ~100k that the 1994 re-release sold.

 

'Smile Like You Mean It' sold 29k in 2005; 171k sold since.

 

'Jealousy' sold 270k in 2011; 130k sold since.

 

Viva la Vida... sold 1,087k in 2008, 198k in 2009, ~50k in 2010 and 71k in 2011, meaning it had just passed 1.4m by the end of 2011 and has sold 100k in the past 5 and a bit years.

 

Celebration sold 318k in 2009 and 121k in 2009, putting its total at 439k by the end of 2009. It had sold ~530k by the end of 2013 and ~575k by the end of 2015.

 

I assume the 2x Platinum for In Utero only dates back to February 1994, meaning it has sold 600k in that time. Unsure what it sold in 1993 and January 1994, but I'd guess its total is now 800k+.

 

1 sold 1.850m in 2000, 402k in 2001, 105k in 2002 and 110k in 2003, putting its total at 2.467m. It passed 2.5m in 2004, 2.6m in 2005, 2.7m in 2006, 2.8m in 2008, 2.9m in 2011, 3m in 2012, 3.1m and 3.2m in 2015.

How did I mess that up?! Sorry, I meant top 20, not top 40!
