'Two Doors Down' is another one with some nighttime Radio 1 nostalgia for me!

Happy to see a song from Amy Winehouse’s debut album get a certification! The ‘Back to Black’ album understandably gets most of the focus but there’s a lot to be enjoyed from ‘Frank’ too.

 

‘Shut Up and Drive’ now Platinum - even baring in mind lower mid-00s sales, I’ve always thought this should have been a Platinum hit long before now. ‘Hate That I Love You’ from the same album placed just below it on the OCC’s list of Rihanna’s biggest songs and ‘Shut Up and Drive’ still feels much bigger.

Great to see Grimes - Oblivion certified and Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures now a Platinum album.
