Was curious what kind of numbers the uncertified #1s are getting, so I checked their Spotify playcounts both yesterday and today. This of course comes with the caveats that it's worldwide, Spotify-only, and that 1 day is a small sample size for songs doing really small numbers, but nonetheless:

 

Plays gained since yesterday (Total plays as of today) - Artist - Title

 

18,227 (29,492,466) - U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own

12,443 (14,666,084) - Katie Melua & Eva Cassidy - What A Wonderful World

7,851 (11,756,962) - Kylie Minogue - Slow

5,317 (8,208,603) - Tomcraft - Loneliness (radio cut)

2,698 (3,660,389) - Daniel Bedingfield - Never Gonna Leave Your Side

2,519 (7,219,478) - Brian McFadden - Real To Me

1,793 (5,029,731) - Busted - You Said No

1,687 (5,574,013) - McFly - Transylvania (combining 1,682 (5,539,786) of the regular version and 5 (34,227) of the radio edit)

1,671 (5,823,998) - McFly - Don't Stop Me Now

1,509 (1,393,472) - Michael Ball, Captain Tom Moore & The NHS Voices Of Care Choir - You'll Never Walk Alone

1,465 (1,329,779) - LadBaby - Don't Stop Me Eatin' (combining 857 (921,471) of the original and 608 (408,308) of the duet with Ronan Keating)

1,451 (5,307,677) - Busted - Who's David

1,423 (4,763,211) - McFly - I'll Be OK

1,410 (3,077,037) - Robbie Williams - Radio

1,274 (2,466,265) - LadBaby - I Love Sausage Rolls (combining 1,195 (2,233,331) of the original and 79 (232,934) of the swing version)

982 (2,500,958) - Sugababes vs. Girls Aloud - Walk This Way

492 (3,626,085) - LadBaby - We Built This City

448 (647,716) - Vanessa Jenkins & Bryn West feat. Sir Tom Jones & Robin Gibb - Islands In The Stream

311 (811,121) - Manic Street Preachers - The Masses Against The Classes (combining 252 (526,079) of the 'Forever Delayed' version and 59 (285,042) of the 'National Treasures - The Complete Singles' version)

306 (1,166,131) - McFly - Please, Please

300 (748,769) - Chico - It's Chico Time

105 (4,251,380) - The Lewisham And Greenwich NHS Choir - A Bridge Over You (combining 100 (4,075,975) of the radio edit and 5 (175,405) of the extended version)

70 (238,103) - McFly - Baby's Coming Back

 

0 (290,497) - The X Factor Finalists 2011 feat. JLS & One Direction - Wishing On A Star (I think it's no longer available, but must have been in the past)

0 - Sam & Mark - With A Little Help From My Friends (not available)

 

For comparison, the 2 that have gained certifications, Ja Rule's 'Wonderful' and Blazin' Squad's 'Crossroads', did 30,454 and 2,249 respectively.

Let's Go Home Together going good is fantastic!

 

Well done Ella & Tom!

Was curious what kind of numbers the uncertified #1s are getting, so I checked their Spotify playcounts both yesterday and today. This of course comes with the caveats that it's worldwide, Spotify-only, and that 1 day is a small sample size for songs doing really small numbers, but nonetheless:

Thanks very much for this! Very interesting. So perhaps 'What a Wonderful World' is next in line for a certification, based on current Spotify numbers and original physical sales.

'What A Wonderful World' being towards the top of that list is... surprising? (not for the song itself, but I wouldn't have expected that particular version to be getting many plays)

LadBaby and Captain Tom were listened to more than 1,000 times in a single day? I’m baffled.

I wish there was a way to see total Spotify streams for any given song in each country :(

But this is really interesting to see, thanks!

Dave's album 'We're All Alone in This Together' has gone Silver, so over 60,000 copies.

 

And Ed's "Bad habits" is now GOLD (400,000).

I see Mabel's album has gone platinum. Would love to see the sales/streaming breakdown for this :lol:

 

 

probably 300k from streams 0k from physicals :D

Whatever happened to that Bronze certification for first albums? I heard about it years ago but have seen no mention since!

Thanks for the info!! I hadn’t really seen it on here and it doesn’t appear on the award levels part of the Brit certified website, you can’t search by that award level and it seems to never appear on wiki discographies so wasn’t sure what happened!

‘Despacito (Remix)’ the 2017 tune by @luisfonsi and @daddy_yankee, featuring @justinbieber has gone a crazy #BRITcertified 6x Platinum.

Adele - Easy on me - SILVER - 200,000

Coldplay - Music of the spheres - GOLD - 100,000

Sia Snowman has gone silver this week.

Ed Sheeran = GOLD album

 

Unlike ÷ which went 2x Platinum in first week.

 

The record (=) is Ed’s fifth to top the chart, and opens with 139,000 chart sales, outperforming the rest of this week’s Top 30 combined.
