November 10, 20231 yr Robin Schulz ft. Ilsey - Headlights (SILVER)In 2015 this reached #96 and spent many weeks in the top 150 from streaming only (at a time that was a designation worth making!), but eventually the pre-order was scrapped and it was quietly released and went nowhere, making it, at the time, the only song to chart higher without sales than with. Interesting to see it finally crawl to silver! Great to see Timbaland's 'Scream' go silver :wub: and Kanye's 'Runaway' platinum! 'Bibia Be Ye Ye' makes 14/16 songs from 'Divide' having gone platinum, with 'Eraser' and 'Save Myself' remaining.
November 11, 20231 yr In 2015 this reached #96 and spent many weeks in the top 150 from streaming only (at a time that was a designation worth making!), but eventually the pre-order was scrapped and it was quietly released and went nowhere, making it, at the time, the only song to chart higher without sales than with. Wasn't this the case with Avicii's 'The Days' as well :thinking: (also re 'Eraser' it's so weird that the first song on the album is the least streamed song from it on Spotify - I do kind of get why it's a song that wouldn't attract the level of casual streams as the rest of the album but still! 'Save Myself' actually has a higher Spotify total than 'Bibia Be Ye Ye' so I guess that can't be too far off going platinum as well and I imagine 'Eraser' will get there at some point not tooo long after that as well as it's also not miles behind on Spotify)
November 11, 20231 yr Nice to see 'Islands' going gold :wub: forever craving a fourth album from them
November 11, 20231 yr 14/16 songs on an album being certified platinum is anything else even close ,Good question! I checked some possibilities: Ed Sheeran - ÷ 10x Platinum (2023/08) - SHAPE OF YOU 8x Platinum (2023/01) - PERFECT 6x Platinum (2023/06) - CASTLE ON THE HILL 4x Platinum (2022/01) - GALWAY GIRL 2x Platinum (2020/09) - HAPPIER 2x Platinum (2021/07) - SUPERMARKET FLOWERS Platinum (2018/04) - WHAT DO I KNOW Platinum (2018/05) - NEW MAN Platinum (2018/07) - DIVE Platinum (2019/01) - HOW WOULD YOU FEEL (PAEAN) Platinum (2019/08) - BARCELONA Platinum (2020/07) - NANCY MULLIGAN Platinum (2022/06) - HEARTS DON'T BREAK AROUND HERE Platinum (2023/11) - BIBIA BE YE YE Gold (2018/11) - ERASER Gold (2020/05) - SAVE MYSELF = 14/16 platinum Olivia Rodrigo - SOUR 3x Platinum (2022/08) - GOOD 4 U 3x Platinum (2023/08) - DRIVERS LICENSE Platinum (2022/01) - DEJA VU Platinum (2022/02) - TRAITOR Platinum (2023/09) - FAVORITE CRIME Gold (2022/09) - JEALOUSY JEALOUSY Gold (2023/01) - BRUTAL Gold (2023/01) - HAPPIER Silver (2022/02) - ENOUGH FOR YOU Silver (2022/04) - 1 STEP FORWARD 3 STEPS BACK Silver (2022/11) - HOPE UR OK = 5/11 platinum Harry Styles - Fine Line 4x Platinum (2023/10) - WATERMELON SUGAR 2x Platinum (2021/11) - ADORE YOU 2x Platinum (2022/10) - FALLING Platinum (2021/07) - LIGHTS UP Platinum (2022/04) - GOLDEN Gold (2023/08) - FINE LINE Silver (2021/09) - CHERRY Silver (2022/02) - SHE Silver (2022/04) - SUNFLOWER - VOL 6 Silver (2022/07) - TO BE SO LONELY Silver (2022/09) - TREAT PEOPLE WITH KINDNESS Silver (2023/04) - CANYON MOON = 5/12 platinum Billie Eilish - WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? 4x Platinum (2022/03) - BAD GUY 2x Platinum (2022/06) - WHEN THE PARTY'S OVER Platinum (2019/11) - BURY A FRIEND Platinum (2022/08) - YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN Gold (2020/08) - WISH YOU WERE GAY Gold (2021/04) - ALL THE GOOD GIRLS GO TO HELL Gold (2021/08) - I LOVE YOU Gold (2022/12) - MY STRANGE ADDICTION Silver (2020/04) - XANNY Silver (2020/10) - LISTEN BEFORE I GO Silver (2020/11) - ILOMILO Silver (2021/07) - 8 Not certified - GOODBYE = 4/13 platinum (not counting the 13-second opening track '!!!!!!!') Arctic Monkeys - AM 5x Platinum (2023/09) - DO I WANNA KNOW 3x Platinum (2023/06) - WHY'D YOU ONLY CALL ME WHEN YOU'RE HIGH 3x Platinum (2023/07) - R U MINE Platinum (2021/01) - ARABELLA Platinum (2021/09) - SNAP OUT OF IT Platinum (2022/09) - I WANNA BE YOURS Gold (2022/07) - KNEE SOCKS Gold (2022/08) - ONE FOR THE ROAD Silver (2020/10) - NO 1 PARTY ANTHEM Silver (2022/03) - I WANT IT ALL Silver (2022/07) - FIRESIDE Silver (2023/04) - MAD SOUNDS = 6/12 platinum The Weeknd - Starboy 4x Platinum (2023/02) - STARBOY 2x Platinum (2021/08) - I FEEL IT COMING 2x Platinum (2023/10) - DIE FOR YOU Platinum (2023/09) - PARTY MONSTER Platinum (2023/09) - REMINDER Gold (2023/06) - STARGIRL INTERLUDE Silver (2020/07) - SIDEWALKS Silver (2021/03) - FALSE ALARM Silver (2021/03) - ROCKIN' Silver (2021/06) - SIX FEET UNDER Silver (2022/05) - SECRETS Not certified - 7 other songs = 5/18 platinum Ed Sheeran - x 7x Platinum (2022/11) - THINKING OUT LOUD 4x Platinum (2021/11) - PHOTOGRAPH 3x Platinum (2021/08) - SING 2x Platinum (2018/09) - DON'T 2x Platinum (2019/08) - BLOODSTREAM 2x Platinum (2021/03) - I SEE FIRE Platinum (2019/01) - TENERIFE SEA Platinum (2021/07) - ONE Platinum (2021/11) - I'M A MESS Gold (2020/09) - AFIRE LOVE Gold (2021/05) - NINA Silver (2017/02) - RUNAWAY Silver (2017/11) - TAKE IT BACK Silver (2018/03) - THE MAN Silver (2018/12) - EVEN MY DAD DOES SOMETIMES Silver (2019/08) - SHIRTSLEEVES = 9/16 platinum - for the deluxe edition, that is. The standard edition (as much as you can call it 'standard' when you won't find it on Spotify) removes 3 of the silver ones and 'I See Fire', so it has 8/12. The 'Wembley Edition' re-release adds some songs which are mostly un-certified but one of them is the platinum 'Lay It All On Me' (Rudimental). Bruno Mars - Doo-Wops & Hooligans 4x Platinum (2022/04) - JUST THE WAY YOU ARE (AMAZING) 3x Platinum (2022/07) - GRENADE 2x Platinum (2021/06) - THE LAZY SONG 2x Platinum (2022/05) - MARRY YOU Platinum (2022/05) - COUNT ON ME Platinum (2023/01) - RUNAWAY BABY ...I think there's some error here, because 'Talking To The Moon' is now the 2nd (!) most played song from the album on Spotify (with 1.15 billion plays) but has no certification, while 'Runaway Baby' (385 million plays) being platinum seems far-fetched - I would guess the certification for 'Runaway Baby' is actually meant to be 'Talking To The Moon' (but then is 'Runaway Baby' below silver on its own, or is it combined, or not counted anywhere?). Anyway, the remaining tracks are not certified so it's 6/10 or 6/11 platinum depending on edition. Any other ideas? None of those are close to 14/16 in terms of ratio. In terms of total number of platinum tracks, Dua Lipa's 'complete edition' of her self-titled (with all the collabs added) has 9... I haven't counted the Becky Hill/Mabel/Jax Jones/Sigala/Joel Corry albums but I expect they'd be 5+ but not 10+.
November 11, 20231 yr Wasn't this the case with Avicii's 'The Days' as well :thinking: (also re 'Eraser' it's so weird that the first song on the album is the least streamed song from it on Spotify - I do kind of get why it's a song that wouldn't attract the level of casual streams as the rest of the album but still! 'Save Myself' actually has a higher Spotify total than 'Bibia Be Ye Ye' so I guess that can't be too far off going platinum as well and I imagine 'Eraser' will get there at some point not tooo long after that as well as it's also not miles behind on Spotify)It was similar! But 'The Days' didn't have the 'quietly released' part, it was just cancelled altogether and I don't think it made it to iTunes until, presumably, some number of years later. Hence, its entire chart run was streaming-only whereas the tail-end of 'Headlights' had (very low) sales. (See here: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=172999 ) I wonder whether 'Eraser' or 'Save Myself' will get there first! 'Eraser' went gold in November 2018, slightly before 'Hearts Don't Break Around Here' and 'Bibia Be Ye Ye' and well before 'Save Myself' (May 2020), but 'Save Myself' has done much better on Spotify in the years since.
November 12, 20231 yr All certifications for 3rd November 2023: SINGLES: Ashanti - Unfoolish (SILVER) I didn't realise this is doing well / is popular. I wonder if most of its streams come from people who intended to hear Foolish? It's essentially a remix of Foolish, different verses but an almost identical chorus - apart from "I keep on running back to you" becoming "I can't keep running back to you". ~ As an aside, I noticed What's Luv has become more successful than Foolish in recent years. They did similarly well in 2002, and Foolish certified Silver first. However What's Luv went Platinum almost a year and a half sooner than Foolish did. Foolish sales in 2002 - 132,000 (72nd) What's Luv sales in 2002 - 128,000 (75th) Foolish certification history: Silver - 11.07.2014 Gold - 17.05.2019 Platinum - 11.02.2022 What's Luv certification history: Silver - 23.01.2015 Gold - 28.09.2018 Platinum - 16.10.2020 Maybe Unfoolish is partly to blame for Foolish selling more slowly than What's Luv. :thinking:

November 18, 20231 yr Ludovico Einaudi - Nuvole Bianche (PLATINUM)Could this be the highest certification for an instrumental piano piece? Others I can come up with: Gold (2022/01) - Ludovico Einaudi - I Giorni Silver (2020/01) - Yiruma - River Flows In You Silver (2020/07) - Yann Tiersen - Comptine d'un autre été, l'après-midi Silver (2022/06) - Ludovico Einaudi - Una Mattina Silver (2022/08) - Max Richter - Dream 1 (Before The Wind Blows It All) (this has 8 parts which I'm guessing may be combined? well, at least it has 8 parts on Spotify; seemingly the CD and download releases had them as a single track) Silver (2022/11) - Ludovico Einaudi - Le Onde Silver (2023/07) - Pascal Florent Rogé - Suite Bergamasque (presumably "Suite bergamasque, L.75: 3. Clair de lune", or do they combine the whole suite? also guessing this one might be from primarily Amazon as it has very low Spotify plays?) Ludovico Einaudi has another gold and silver one but they have orchestras/other instruments (I previewed them to check). Caravan Palace - Lone Digger (SILVER) Cobra Starship ft. Sabi - You Make Me Feel... (SILVER) Fleetwood Mac - Say You Love Me (SILVER) Sugababes - About A Girl (SILVER) System Of A Down - Lonely Day (SILVER)Nice to see these get certified!
November 18, 20231 yr Backstreet Boys - Quit Playing Games (SILVER) Confused about this one! It was already certified Silver in February 1997 (based on shipments). :thinking: It sold 230,000 in 1997, so even if the shipments certification hadn't happened at the time, it would have got a Silver certification in 2013 when they became automatic/based on sales. So maybe it's meant to be Gold but its sales have been split for some reason?

November 26, 20231 yr 'Lay All Your Love On Me' is my favourite ABBA song so great to see that one becoming a platinum single :wub: 'It's A Sin' should be up there too tbh but I'll take gold!
November 26, 20231 yr 'Lay All Your Love On Me' is my favourite ABBA song so great to see that one becoming a platinum single :wub: 'It's A Sin' should be up there too tbh but I'll take gold! I think given these are only sales since 1994, they'll have both done a lot more than this in their lifetime.
November 27, 20231 yr I only really discovered You Learn earlier this year and really liked it. So I’m happy to see it get a certification.
