April 28, 20232 yr Author Thank you! :cheer: The thread is fully updated now. Another notable one: Sugababes - About You Now is now 2xPlatinum.
July 8, 20231 yr Author Updated! Spice Girls become the first girl group to achieve a 4xPlatinum selling single, with their debut single Wannabe. :cheer: I don't think it'll be too much longer until TLC - No Scrubs and Little Mix - Shout Out to My Ex also certify 4xPlatinum.
July 8, 20231 yr I found a few you don't have: Baccarra Sorry I'm A Lady Rca Silver Single 01.03.1978 06.01.1978 [correct spelling is Baccara] Baccarra Yes Sir I Can Boogie Rca Gold Single 01.11.1977 01.11.1977 Crystals Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Legacy Recordings Silver Single 30.12.2022 05.09.2011 Earth Wind & Fire Boogie Wonderland Sony Music Cg Platinum Single 23.06.2023 17.07.2015 [the song is with The Emotions; in the BPI database they're credited on its silver and gold certifications from 1979 but not its platinum certification] Emotions Best Of My Love Sony Music Gold Single 26.05.2023 14.11.2004 [the database also lists Emotions - Killing Me Softly With His Song as silver, but I don't think that exists? I'm guessing they've mis-labelled Roberta Flack] Marvelettes Please Mr Postman Motown Silver Single 11.09.2020 04.12.2004 Nina Sky Move Ya Body Island Silver Single 12.10.2018 17.11.2004 Weather Girls It's Raining Men Columbia Gold Single 25.12.2020 23.04.2006 + everything from the Bangles!

November 18, 20231 yr Author Fifth Harmony - That's My Girl is now Platinum, their third single to exceed 600,000 sales. Interestingly it achieves this before All in My Head (Flex) despite that song going Gold sooner. All in My Head (Flex) 23.09.2016 - Silver 31.05.2019 - Gold That's My Girl 27.01.2017 - Silver 27.09.2019 - Gold 10.11.2023 - Platinum Sugababes - About a Girl is Silver, their 11th single to certify. This now ties them with Girls Aloud, The Pussycat Dolls and The Saturdays.
May 24, 20241 yr NEW GIRL GROUPS CERTIFICATION!!!!! "No Good Advice" by Girls Aloud has been certified Silver on 24th May 2024 for selling 200k!!! :cheeseblock:
May 24, 20241 yr NEW GIRL GROUPS CERTIFICATION!!!!! "No Good Advice" by Girls Aloud has been certified Silver on 24th May 2024 for selling 200k!!! :cheeseblock: A travesty it has taken this long quite frankly. Spotted Little Mix have also got a new silver certification this week with You Gotta Not.
May 25, 20241 yr Little Mix have extended their record for the most certified songs for a girl group in the UK (33). Girls Aloud have tied in third place with Sugababes again (12 certified songs each).
May 25, 20241 yr Sugababes Stronger went silver this month too honestly it's a travesty no good advice and stronger are not platinum tbh :(
May 26, 20241 yr Wow, Eternal have the second most platinum certifications after the Spice Girls. Thats cool, and deserved. They have so many great songs.
May 28, 20241 yr Author Wow, Eternal have the second most platinum certifications after the Spice Girls. Thats cool, and deserved. They have so many great songs. I'm afraid that you've misread the data :cry: Spice Girls (10xPlatinum [1] / 5xPlatinum [1] / 2xPlatinum [1] / 1xPlatinum [1] = 18 Platinum Discs across 4 albums) Girls Aloud (4xPlatinum [1] / 2xPlatinum [2] / 1xPlatinum [4] = 12 Platinum Discs across 7 albums) Little Mix (4xPlatinum [1] / 3xPlatinum [1] / 1xPlatinum [4] = 11 Platinum Discs across 6 albums) Sugababes (3xPlatinum [1] / 2xPlatinum [3] / 1xPlatinum [1] = 10 Platinum Discs across 5 albums) Eternal (4xPlatinum [1] / 3xPlatinum [1] / 2xPlatinum [1] / 1xPlatinum [1] = 10 Platinum Discs across 4 albums) Destiny's Child (3xPlatinum [2] / 2xPlatinum [2] = 10 Platinum Discs across 4 albums) Eternal did extremely well though. A shame that it all went pearshaped in 1999 with the 5th album bombing and remaining uncertified! Both Spice Girls and Eternal have a Platinum album which didn't actually sell 300,000+ - those being Forever and Before the Rain respectively. They're certified Platinum because back then it was based on shipments rather than sales! ~~~~~~~ I've updated the posts! Another updated single certification is TLC going Gold with Creep. :cool: I'm very happy about Girls Aloud - No Good Advice and Sugababes - Stronger being Silver. :wub:
June 7, 20241 yr 'Power' is now certified 3x Platinum, giving Little Mix their fourth triple-platinum selling single! :cheeseblock: @1799088955477930421
June 7, 20241 yr Author 'Power' is now certified 3x Platinum, giving Little Mix their fourth triple-platinum selling single! :cheeseblock: Fabulous :cheeseblock: and it becomes the first non-Top 5 peaking single from a girl group to certify 3xPlatinum! Which I know is a rather specific accolade, but still *.*
July 11, 2024Jul 11 Does anybody know how close “Stay” by Shakespears Sister is to Platinum status? It was on over 300,000 digital sales as of 2019.
July 12, 2024Jul 12 'Confetti' is now certified Platinum in the UK, meaning all of Little Mix's albums are certified Platinum or higher! @1811770037809598796 Edited July 12, 2024Jul 12 by DanielsAloud
