'I Remember Everything' certified already *.* yay for 'STAR WALKIN'' making it there too (just in time for Lil Nas X's new single x).

Yay for Adele and P!nk!

That Born To Die reign just won't let up... yay 'National Anthem' <3

Random for KDA & Tinashe, but great all the same.

'Happiness Is A Butterfly' :wub:

Hurray for Whitney 4 times platinum for I Wanna Dance With Somebody!!

Boygenius - The Record (SILVER) <3 <3 <3

Kylie CGYOOMH 3 x platinum

Amazing!

Oh... that's amazing for 'Just Say'! An absolutely underrated Tinashe GEM!

Certifications announced on the BRITs Twitter account today:

 

SINGLES:

Avicii - Wake Me Up (6X PLATINUM)

Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten (2X PLATINUM)

Noah Kahan - Stick Season (PLATINUM)

Sam Ryder - Space Man (PLATINUM)

Jack Harlow - Lovin On Me (GOLD)

Kylie Minogue - Padam Padam (GOLD)

Tyla - Water (GOLD)

 

ALBUMS:

BTS - Love Yourself: Her (GOLD)

Morgan Wallen - One Thing At A Time (SILVER)

RAYE - My 21st Century Blues (SILVER)

3.6m units for Wake Me Up :cheeseblock:

 

interesting for Unwritten to go 2x plat (1.2m units) just as it gets a chart comeback whereas Murder only just passed 1m units.

I knew ‘Unwritten’ was likely quite comfortably passed 1m after seeing it was certified Gold in 2018 and Platinum in 2020. Much like ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’, I’ve noticed it’s been gaining relevancy again the past few years, ever since that video of that lad singing it in the car! :lol:

 

I’m of course thrilled with ‘Padam Padam’ being certified Gold! :wub: A shame it just missed out on a 2023 Year End Chart appearance.

Good to see 'SPACE MAN' go platinum!

 

Also finally for 'Padam Padam' too. Shame it was a couple of weeks late though.

I’m of course thrilled with ‘Padam Padam’ being certified Gold! :wub: A shame it just missed out on a 2023 Year End Chart appearance.

 

Such a shame it didn’t make the top 100. It’s now the 5th 2023 release (plus any others this week) to pass gold but not be in the top 100. Interestingly, the previous one is this week’s number 11, ‘Popular’.

Great for Unwritten to be certified 2x Platinum.
