Wow, Placebo's 'Running Up That Hill' has done seriously well to reach gold over time!

It's now only behind 'Every You Every Me' which is also gold certified, with 'Nancy Boy' and 'Pure Morning' silver.

Great to see Cassie's 'Me & U' double platinum 🎉 The OG viral hit from the queen of MySpace

Time to take a look at the certifications!

Wow Everybody’s Fool must’ve sold like nothing in 2004, that’s impressive to be certified today.

Good to see Weezer's Island In The Sun go platinum, great track for the current weather conditions! Also like the two gold certifications for the Beatles this week

Oh lovely to see the understated beauty ‘Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)’ certified gold, one of my favourite Beatles songs.

‘House of Balloons/Glass Table Girls’ is a big highlight from The Weeknd’s catalogue too 🖤

Have we got a total number for Don’t You Want Me?

Have we got a total number for Don’t You Want Me?

The OCC said that the total combined sales pre and post 1994 were at 2.328 million when the post-1994 ones were at 1.6 million. So, it’s at least 2.5 million combined now.

From Haven Forum:

New retro certifications:

The Human League - Don't You Want Me (3x Platinum)

879,596 1980s Gallup units + 1,800,000 post February 1994 units = 2,679,596 total chart units

or if we go by the OCC:

1.15 million units in 1981 + 230,357 1982 units + 1,800,000 post February 1994 units = 3,180,357 total chart units.

So which number is right?

Naked In Manhattan being certified! My favourite from Chappell's album.

Any idea on a total for Madonna's Holiday? I know it was certified gold back when gold was 500k 'shipments', but don't know what the actual sales were from the 80s.

You can see it in the UK Chart Runs & Sales in the Madonna forum in the most recent comment made by @Ne Plus Ultra.
