surprised to see Dylan in the list, I thought that album did pretty well, I think it did >20K on week 1...

 

so excluding the 2020 new albums, who's the lowest? PJ Harvey maybe?

5 Seconds of Summer's 'CALM' has just been certified Silver so that's one less 2020 album on that list.

 

Surprised to see Bob Dylan on that list given his album this year got certified pretty quickly!

surprised to see Dylan in the list, I thought that album did pretty well, I think it did >20K on week 1...

His latest album was his first since 2012 to feature new material so I guess that's why it did much better. 'Shadows in the Night' slipped away pretty quickly and had managed just under 45k by the time it left the chart in April 2015.

A fair few charity singles and/or novelty number 1s! These are not even on Spotify as it stands: Sam & Mark, Girls Aloud vs Sugababes, X Factor Finalists 2011

 

Very surprised to see Daniel Bedingfield on there, that song felt massive at the time!

Edited by TomJ1991

Tbf her album completed 2017 with just under 50k sales. It's probably selling at a tiny rate but there could be a slight chance it'll trudge passed Silver at some point.

 

Surprised it sold that much tbh. In its first two weeks it had sold ~26k, so I would've expected it to be maybe at 35-40k, but I guess she's a legacy artist where people just end up picking up a copy here and there when discovering her discography.

Remove Westlife please #16

Pretty interesting list that. No surprise that it’s focused on the 2002-2006 era plus charity records from nowadays!

 

 

There are 36 UK Albums with 10 - or more - Platinum Awards. A couple of them may not have actually reached 3 Million

UK Sales, but they are Certified for 10 x Platinum.

 

The 2 Albums with 10 UK Platinum Awards, that may not be on 3 Million UK Sales are:

 

A). Alanis Morissette - 'Jagged Little Pill' -- (1995) -- 10th BPI Platinum Award on 25th October 2002.

 

B). Robbie Williams -- 'I've Been Expecting You' -- (1998) -- 10th BPI Platinum Award on 22nd October 2004.

Mariah just doesn’t stop slaying, Queen of Christmas and muti platinum certifications :cheeseblock:
Wasn’t sure where to put this and this thread seemed kinda appropriate for it. I’ve noticed looking at one of the sales threads that Do They Know It’s Christmas is only 90,000 chart sales behind Candle in the Wind to become the biggest “selling” song of all time. Will it do enough sales this year to achieve it? Or will it have to wait until next year and let Shape of You take the record first?
Will do apx 25-30k this week and 5-10k next so next year it is! Maybe won’t end up retaking the top spot then!
Mariah achieved 4x platinum on 13/12/19. So 300,000 in one year!!
