July 25Jul 25 What were the chances of two songs called 'Lost' being certified the same week 57 minutes ago, Jade said:'Echo Beach' gold 😍 glad this new wave favourite is still getting some love in the streaming eraSame, it popped up in the 1980 listening sessions as well as 'All Over The World' whose unintentional double play last weekend may have helped it over the line!56 minutes ago, gasman449 said:Great certifications this week- Beatles and Zeppelin especially.Wonder where that puts 'Here Comes The Sun' in the all-time list of Beatles songs if you include pre-1994 sales...

July 25Jul 25 I knew Haddaway - What is Love was popular these days, but the fact it's done 1.2 million since 1994
July 28Jul 28 Nice to see Kylie get another platinum single now that spinning around has finally got there.
July 29Jul 29 Yey for spinning around!Also I was dancing like a loon to Galvanize at my 50th party last week. On my own on the dancefloor eek

Time of My Life would have been promoted as the lead single. The classic Hungry Eyes also from DD charted poorly too but has had a similar successful new lease of life in the streaming era.
