'You Know I'm No Good' sold 74k in 2007, with some small cherry-picked sales from 2006 also to be accounted, so ~326k sold since.

 

Didn't expect 'Work Bitch' to be certified Silver anytime soon - about half its sales must come from streams since it must have been on about 80k pure sales when the OCC revealed her Top 20 best sellers (excluding streams). Very deserved, it's become a classic in her discography.

 

'Time After Time' sold an estimated 415k in the 80s, which would put its sales at 815k to date.

 

'I'm Coming Out' sold an estimated 132k in the 80s, which would put its sales 332k to date.

 

'You & Me' sold 194k in 2013; 406k sold since. Its trickle sales and streams are much better than I expected for what I thought was a pretty forgotten hit. Passed 400k in June 2016.

 

'Don't' sold 506k in 2014; 694k sold since. Becomes Ed's TENTH song to pass 2x Platinum (1.2m).

 

'Learn to Fly' debuted at #21 in 1999 and only spent 3 weeks in the Top 75, so the majority of its 400k sales have been downloads and streams. Its the Foo Fighters' 4th best seller.

 

'Million Pound Girl' sold 279k in 2014; 121k sold since.

 

Total sales for 'ABC' exceed 500k.

 

'Flashing Light' sold 55k in 2008, with some small cherry-picked sales from 2007, so ~145k sold since.

 

'Never Forget You' sold 462k in 2015 and 511k in 2016 (973k in total); 227k sold since.

 

'Morning Glory' is the fourth Oasis song not to be released as a single in the UK yet receive a certification, following 'Half the World Away', 'She's Electric' and 'Champagne Supernova'.

 

'Down with the Trumpets' sold 323k in 2011 and 101k in 2012 (424k in total); 176k sold since.

 

'Say What You Want' sold 260k in 1997; 140k sold since.

 

'Automatic' sold 183k in 2006 and 46k in 2007 (229k in total); 171k sold since.

 

'Cheeky Song' sold 279k in 2002 and 97 in 2003 (376k in total); 24k sold since. The OCC revealed at the end of 2012 that it sold 1,102 that year.

'Champagne Supernova' was not released as a single in the UK yet has made its way to be Oasis' 9th best selling song, outselling five of their number ones!

 

'Love Song' sold 189k in 2008; 211k sold since.

 

'It Wasn't Me' sold 1.151m in 2001; 649k sold since.

I guess that really does show the cultural impact 'Work Bitch' has garnered since its release!

 

Amazing to think it initially divebombed 7-37 and dropped out soon after.

Is Sunday Morning too far out of range to track?

'Suddenly I See' sold 75k in 2005; 325k sold since. Quite surprised by the trickle sales for this one!

 

It stuck around into 2006 on the charts and has been used in adverts and such a few times I believe. I can't believe it's been over 13 years since it came out!

It didn't make the end of year chart so I didn't have any sales for it unfortunately. Safe to say it's been a good trickle seller though!

Can anybody track the sales of "Say You Love Me" by Jessie Ware because a contestant just sang it on the XFactor and I'm thinking it has got to be nearly Certified Gold by now?
The new website seems totally unusable?! I can’t seem to search for specific artists certifications anymore? :nocheer:

I don't know where to post this, but I have an old chart question.

 

On the W/K Ending: 30 November 1991- Michael Jackson entered in at No. 1 with "Dangerous" Album after being on sale for only 3 days ( it was released in UK on 21 November 1991).

 

Does anyone know how much it sold that week, and also how much U2 "Achtung Baby" sold that week when it entered in at No.2

Music Week at the time said Dangerous sold over 200k and that the combined tallies for Dangerous and Achtung added to less than 400k.

 

Apparently Achtung only lost out by a few thousand.

The new website seems totally unusable?! I can’t seem to search for specific artists certifications anymore? :nocheer:

 

It works OK for me.

Beside the magnifying glass where it says "Search BPI Awards" type in name of artist e.g. Elvis Presley.

Sunday Morning was on sales of 60k in November 2013. It probably sold less than 20k in 2004.

Andre Rieu - Under the Stars: Live in Maastricht 5 - Platinum - Released: 2011

 

'Don't Stop' sold under the required 253k to make the 2014 EOY Top 100 (but was certified Silver in August of that year) so has sold over 147k since.

 

'Air Hostess' sold 59k in 2004; 141k sold since.

 

'Adventure of a Lifetime' sold 248k in 2015 and 626k in 2016 (874k in total); 326k sold since.

 

'Army' sold under the required 339k to make the 2016 EOY Top 100. It sold 17k in 2015 and definitely passed the 300k mark in the second half of 2016.

 

'What's Luv?' sold 128k in 2002; 272k sold since. It passed 200k in January 2015.

 

'Sit Down' sold 285k in 1991 upon re-release. Adding the 400k from this Gold certification (including 81k from a 1998 re-release) brings its total to 685k, with smaller sales from its original 1989 release and sales continuing into 1999 pushing it up to 700k. The OCC will probably give a smaller total for its 1991 sales though.

 

'No Church in the Wild' sold 111k in 2011; 289k sold since.

 

'Rude' sold 748k in 2014; 452k sold since.

 

'All I Want for Christmas is You' sold 306k in 1994 according to the OCC, which means a huge 1.494m has been achieved since then.

 

'Don't Speak' sold 830k in 1997; 370k sold since.

 

'There You Go' sold 135k in 2000; 65k sold since.

Not Nineteen Forever was 2008, not 2011.

 

I imagine the vast majority of its 400k is SES and trickle sales anyway as it went {19}-30-45-75-x originally and it's become somewhat of an modern indie classic.

Thanks. The BPI says 2011 for some reason. Post-2005 releases usually have the correct release date on there.
Yes @ Jack Garratt getting a BPI certified single, hoping some of his other tracks aren't too far behind (e.g., "The Love You're Given").
