April 19, 20241 yr Apologies if this has been answered before, but is it easy to find pre-1994 sales numbers to combine them for songs that continue to be popular (Dreams, Don’t Stop Me Now, lots of Christmas songs etc.) Liam might be better equipped to answer this than me, but I assumed that pre-1994 numbers were lifted from End of Year charts (if they were big enough sellers to make those lists) or otherwise have had their pre-1994 sales estimated. I'm not sure if these lists are posted somewhere on BuzzJack, but here they are on Haven: https://fatherandy2.proboards.com/thread/41...ear-end-singles

April 19, 20241 yr Shocked Donna Summer - Hot Stuff is only gold as I thought it would be platinum at least. It was massive back in the day.
April 19, 20241 yr The reasons for not including sales from before 1994 are 1) These figures are estimates derived from sample sales and are not intended to be 100% accurate, just a best guess for public consumption, although they may be fairly close in many cases. Until 2013 certifications were based on copies shipped by record companies to the UK retail market. Such figures were known accurately to the record company making the application. However, even from 1994 onwards retail sales figures were still estimates, but increasingly accurate. In reality what is being certified today is streams with an a reasonably accurate estimate of prior physical sales and download sales from 1994 included. 2) Even if a decision were made to include approximations from prior to 1994 the OCC would have to have estimates for everything ever released even if the single had only a few thousand sales prior to 1994, not just the big hits because so many songs are available to be streamed. Their database only debited in 1994 so that would be an impossibility.
April 19, 20241 yr 'Low-Life' certified :cheer: what an album - 'The Perfect Kiss', 'Sub-Culture' and plenty of... New Order-esque drums Shocked Donna Summer - Hot Stuff is only gold as I thought it would be platinum at least. It was massive back in the day.:kink:

April 26, 20241 yr Great to see Hips Don't Lie continue to notch up sales. Always loved this, it’s possibly my favourite from Shakira.
April 27, 20241 yr 'Let's Go Surfing' certified :cheer: The Communards - Don't Leave Me This Way (PLATINUM) Tory Lanez - The Color Violet (PLATINUM) Chris Brown - Undecided Dave - Black (GOLD) DMX - Party Up (Up In Here) (GOLD)I know it's supposed to be Gold, but there's something poetic about the missing certification against 'Undecided' :kink: (yikes at it coming straight after 'The Color Violet' too, the other 3 songs here are great)

The charts from 1976 to 1979 will be the monthly top 200s as I don't have weekly sales for that period. Once I've posted 1976 to 1979, I'll then be posting 1992, 1993 and the first few weeks of 1994. This means that I will have posted weekly (or monthly) and yearly sales figures from January 1976 to February 1994. This is a large part of the period for which actual chart sales data exists.
