Probably next week. It needs 877 copies and #200 last week sold 744 copies ('LM5' didn't chart).

I'm excited for them, that's going to make their albums discography look a lot cleaner!

356k sold now. Gold in two weeks? I wonder if it'll be one of their fastest to go gold. I can't remember how long BUS took but it was a lot longer no?

How long did Woman Like Me take to go gold?

How long did Woman Like Me take to go gold?

 

I just looked and it seemed like 6 months? Maybe that's wrong but if true, then this has gone gold a lotttt quicker.

 

Break Up Song roughly 8 months?

Ah right so 12 weeks; this one will be 14 weeks then.

So do we think Sweet Melody will pass Break Up Song in February or March?

Yessss. About time!

Yyyyyaaaassss! :wub:

 

First 5 studio albums have gone platinum! Iconic. :wub: Are Girls Aloud the only other girl group to do that? (Girls Aloud have 6 platinum albums - including the first Greatest Hits)

They are indeed!

 

I believe these are the girl groups to have 3 or more Platinum certified studio albums:

 

Girls Aloud: 5

Little Mix: 5

Sugababes: 4

Atomic Kitten: 3

Destiny's Child: 3

Eternal: 3

Spice Girls: 3

Sweet Melody is going gold next week! :D

Only +9k for the album in 2 weeks... album sales (not the girls fault as they're still one of the top 10 albums) are truly awful aren't they!? :(

Will be a long stretch for Platinum (album) but as long as they don’t abandon the album campaign it will get there.

Album sales are so bad at the moment.

 

Sweet melody so close to gold is good to see

811,000 Love Me Like You > 4th Jan 2021 <

 

:o :o :o

 

How have I just saw this? A song that didn't even go top ten and was overshadowed by Black Magic and dropped from their setlists after 2016 has crossed 800K?

It made the Summer Hits setlist in 2018, yes it wasn’t as big as Black Magic but I seem to remember it being in the top 20 for quite a long period over the 2015 Christmas period and helped with the sales of Get Weird, great overall sales for it.

 

 

Streaming was also different back then - higher ratio

Get Weird was definitely one hell of an era.. an incredible singles run, two 2x plat singles, one of which was only released in the UK but managed to be massive and well known in Asia and is one of the biggest girl group songs there, then Love Me Like You & Hair both missing the top 10 but both being over 800k (and Hair being their second most viewed MV?)

 

Whew, I know we all love Glory Days but Get Weird really started something so insanely good for them. It wasn’t just one good lead single.
