February 15, 20196 yr Delighted that Common People and A-Punk (another one for the non-Top 40 list) have gone platinum! Amused at Tightrope going Gold despite never being eligible to chart - even if a Top 1000 existed, it would have been kept out by at least 3 other TGS songs every week so far.

'The Way I Am' sold 115k in 2000; 285k sold since. 'Hounds of Love' sold 31k in 2005; 169k sold since. 'Too Little Too Late' sold 141k in 2007; 259k sold since. 'Supermassive Black Hole' sold 88k in 2006; 512k sold since. The OCC revealed sales of 580k in November last year, suggesting it is shifting around 1.5k units a week. 'Best Behaviour' sold 108k in 2010; 92k sold since. 'Mo Money Mo Problems' sold 230k in 1997; 170k sold since. 'You Can Call Me Al' sold 305k in 1986, putting its total at 905k to date. It was certified Gold in October 2017 so appears to be selling ~2.8k a week and therefore be on track to pass 1m in the final quarter of the year. I believe 'Roxanne' sold around 200k in 1979 despite missing the Top 10, putting its total to date around the 600k mark. 'The Best' sold 270k in 1989; 670k sold to date. 'Out of Touch' sold 45k in 2004 and 72k in 2005 (117k in total); 83k sold since.
February 20, 20196 yr Whoa I would have thought Shallow was platinum already a while back. Well they have made the streaming ratios better so not every song goes instantly plat. They really should downgrade or adjust those 2016/17 releases where their totals are utterly ridiculous for the chart runs they had.

'Baby Can I Hold You' only reached #94 in 1988. In January 2016, its downloads/streams total was 98k, suggesting it sells 500 to 1,000 copies a week.

March 6, 20196 yr I never thought Westlife's Flying without wings was even close to 600k copies to become platinum... how does it work now?
March 6, 20196 yr Impressive feat for Sam Smith's "Too Good for Goodbyes" going double platinum, I think people were too quick to rule his second era out as a flop. Great to see one of his early tracks, "Leave Your Lover", hitting a sales milestone too!
March 6, 20196 yr I don't think anyone called 'Too Good At Goodbyes' a flop, in fact a big part of the reason I thought his album was such an underperformance was because its lead single did so well.
March 6, 20196 yr I never thought Westlife's Flying without wings was even close to 600k copies to become platinum... how does it work now? This includes units from streaming. When streaming first started being included, every 100 audio streams equated to 1 sale. This was tweaked last summer to also add video streams, but also streams from non-subscription services now needing 600 streams per unit of sale. This has resulted in a lot of older songs such as FWW picking up decent ‘sales’ in the streaming age, hence so many older songs getting new certifications even if their paid for sales haven’t been that great.
