8 singles are 3xPlatinum or 4xPlatinum. 7 of those were in OCC's Top 10 list that they shared in June 2019. Little Mix - Power is new to the Top 10. I'm curious which two singles will certify 3xPlatinum next, at which point we'll know what the Top 10 best selling girl group singles are. I could imagine Little Mix - Secret Love Song, Little Mix - Reggaetón Lento (Remix) and Destiny's Child - Say My Name all being in contention and moving ahead of Spice Girls - 2 Become 1, Atomic Kitten - Whole Again and B*Witched - C'est La Vie, which were all Top 10 in 2019.

The peak positions of the singles in the list:

 

#1 - 31 (There's 31 Platinum or Multi-Platinum songs which peaked at #1 in the UK)

#2 - 8

#3 - 10

#4 - 5

#5 - 6

#6 - 5

#9 - 3

#10 - 2

#11 - 4

#13 - 1

#15 - 1

#18 - 2

#20 - 1

#26 - 1

 

Fifth Harmony have the lowest peaking single to certify Platinum - #26 for That's My Girl, which as you can see is the only Platinum single to not make the Top 20.

 

Curiously, #7 peaking girl group singles have never managed to certify higher than Silver! These being: Sugababes - Stronger / Angels with Dirty Faces, The Pussycat Dolls - I Don't Need a Man, All Saints - War of Nerves, The Supremes - Stop! In The Name Of Love, Eternal - I Am Blessed and Salt-N-Pepa/En Vogue - Whatta Man. I'll make a guess at The Supremes becoming the first one of these to make it to Gold.

 

There are a couple of #8 singles which went Gold: The Veronicas - Untouched and Fifty Fifty - Cupid.

Thread updated! The most recent certification is Girls Aloud - Sound of the Underground (single) going 2xPlatinum :wub:
Still waiting for that Shakespears Sister Platinum certification :cheeseblock:

Wonder if Bananarama are the girl group to have the most top 10 hits without a platinum cert?

Don’t even think they’ve had a gold!

Sure

If only streaming had existed in the 80s 😀

I am surprised “Cruel Summer” and “Venus” have yet to go gold, both have well over 150m streams on Spotify and I’m guessing that the UK is where their biggest audience is.

This week, "Black Magic" by Little Mix was certified 4x Platinum, and "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa was certified Platinum.

Little Mix are now the first girl group in the UK to have two songs be certified quadruple platinum. clap
