September 20, 2024Sep 20 Great to see Pumps by Amy Winehouse go Silver. I played that so much back in 2007/08.
September 20, 2024Sep 20 Pink Pony Club silver!! :w00t: Weird seeing Avril’s What The Hell as platinum status. :o
September 20, 2024Sep 20 ‘Pink Pony Club’ going silver the week IT CHARTS is hysterical. And just as I was wondering whether it was going to eventually become a rare song to be one of the 100 biggest selling singles of the year without ever charting. Can anyone think of any previous examples of a song being one of the 100 biggest songs of the year without having any chart history? Edited September 22, 2024Sep 22 by GreyAsh
September 21, 2024Sep 21 Some interesting certifications this week! Love seeing Janet getting a new certification. Hopefully the UK tour dates result in some other tracks getting a boost. Agree with the sentiments of What The Hell going platinum seeming weird. Based on Avril's certifications, I make that her 4th biggest song here ahead of songs like I'm With You and When You're Gone which I would have thought of as more well remembered. Aaliyah getting her 4th single certification is great to see. Wasn't expecting it to be Back & Forth, but admittedly don't know how well it sold on initial release + it has the benefit of being on the one album that was available to download/stream well before the rest of her catalogue was made available. Also hadn't realised Kate Bush's Army Dreamers had gone viral this year. :heart: Suppose it is quite fitting given the state of the world right now.

Though it peaked at #16 in 1994, it never even made the top 200 year end singles chart selling less than 47K. Though I am incredibly pleased it's had great recurrent stats as it's always been one of my favourite singles of hers (in spite of the backing vocals of that monster on the track).

I don't think there have been any - the closest was Arctic Monkeys - I Wanna Be Yours which made #86 in the EOY Top 100 for 2023 with its only chart appearance being a week at #99 in 2022.
September 21, 2024Sep 21 Is What The Hell really April’s 4th best seller? That doesn’t seem right to me. Or it could be that it’s just not one of my favourites.
September 22, 2024Sep 22 You’d have thought Complicated, Sk8er Boi, I’m With You, When You’re Gone and Girlfriend would’ve all sold more than WTH. Even Don’t Tell Me and My Happy Ending tbh but I guess they suffered from the mid-00s climate. WTH felt like a bit of a flop at the time. :o
September 22, 2024Sep 22 What the Hell is one of my fave Avril songs! I'd say it's definitely among her most well known (and I can imagine songs like I'm With You would benefit from the massive album sales even though it's currently behind on sales)
