Thank you, knew I was forgetting some obvious folk.

Didn’t realise million dollar bill was platinum, adore that record. Glad it’s being remembered as a part of Whitney’s catalogue.

I bet that list is much shorter than the singles one, and will be updated much less frequently. 🤣

Azizam platinum? What a flop, and all that jazz!

Jamie Webster - This Place

WOW. A love song to Liverpool. I think it might be the City's anthem

This is quite random, but Million Dollar Bill having a Platinum cert is absolutely baffling to me. The song is sitting on less than 50 million streams on Spotify but it somehow managed to shift 200k units in the UK in just over 3 years between 2020 and 2023? The UK must be massively over-represented in that song's global numbers.

Do we have any new retro certifications for Status Quo singles - Rockin’ all over the world & In the army now? Any other Quo retro sales would be appreciated.

Their only certification in the digital age was "Rockin All Over The World" going platinum in May (which was missed by this thread!) so we would only be able to calculate that song's retro certifications (no clue where you guys find the specific pre-94 sales figures!)

Great to see Shania 2x Platinum. I’m pretty sure this song was my introduction to country/pop cross over. Still enjoy this song today.
