How is Sash's "Ecuador" only silver?

How is Sash's "Ecuador" only silver?

Judging by the BPI website probably an error and only taking into account digital sales because its digital release was on Ministry of Sound but was originally released on Multiply.

 

It got certified Gold back in 1997, so it should be Platinum now. Maybe they'll realise their mistake and correct it seeing as they clearly did for Encore une Fois (Plat certified in 2017).

It's really crazy that Fergie's UK label decided to pass on Fergalicious, made no sense...

was Clumsy properly released it in the UK? or charted just as import?

 

Technically we got Clumsy / Fergalicious as a Double A-side in 2007 but it was too little too late. I think it has a promo physical release

Amazing!

 

'Mr. Brightside', the 2003 single from @thekillers is now an incredible #BRITcertified 6x Platinum!

Miley Cyrus - Party In The USA now 2x Platinum meaning it’s sold 200k+ in the last 9 months.

 

Has nothing breaks like a heart, wrecking ball and we can’t stop passed 1m yet or close to?

Miley Cyrus - Party In The USA now 2x Platinum

 

Is this her biggest selling single ?

Yep!

Yep!

 

That was too quick

2x Platinum is incredible for Can't Stop! :o Happy to see I'm Gonna Getcha Good finally reaching Silver too.

Woah I had no idea Let Me Down Slowly was on the cusp of platinum!! :o That's amazing! Its top 40 run always felt way too short-lived.

Harry Styles - Golden - Gold - 2019

:magic:

What were the chances of The Greatest Showman album and This Is Me both reaching 2.4m in the same week... Lewis Capaldi now has 5 from 5 charting singles at multi-platinum status, meanwhile Kings Of Leon get yet another song to Silver with only their obvious two having reached Gold or above.

 

Aside from all that, great to see Panic certified and another one for Banquet.

‘Golden Brown’ ❤️

I guess that 30k Under The Bridge sold in 1992 means it's still very slightly ahead of Can't Stop as RHCP's biggest seller, but not for much longer - great to see both double platinum anyway. I hope some other tracks from NFR! aren't too far behind Doin' Time. Also very timely to see The Vaccines getting some new certifications :cheeseblock:

Jerusalema silver! :cheer:

Before He Cheats going gold :wub: Whew a classic, I really wish it was a hit over here at the time!
