November 29, 2025Nov 29 Really pleased for Chinchilla - getting a certification without having a hit single just validates an artist, especially when it is so difficult for British artists to breakthrough these days in the streaming era.

December 1, 2025Dec 1 According to my figures there have only ever been 12 songs to have been certified 8 x platinum, the most recent being "One Dance" and "Shotgun".However it would appear that 3 more songs are about to reach this achievement, "RipTide", "Take Me To Church" and "Someone Like You", so watch out for these before Christmas.
