Yet again some great certs this week - Hey Jude, Where Is My Mind and Asking double plat + Show Me How To Live, I'm God and If We Being Real silver are the highlights for me!

Certifications are up!

Nice to see OneRepublic’s Rich Love certified, a very underrated song.

OHH "I'm God" getting its certificate

Whoa at 'Backstabber', I had no idea it was that popular an album track!

Nice to see Real Mc Coy Another NIght still picking up sales, i love this track along with runaway.

Looks like they have split the sales for Jojo's Leave (Get Out) based on the label attached to it. Already had a platinum certification with Mercury and now the 2021 re-release of the first two albums (with the other Blackground catalogue titles) is connected to this silver certification. Add in her 2018 re-recording and you got sales split all over the place. Expect this will also affect Too Little Too Late.

The Kesha stans started mass streaming because it was the only song on animal/cannibal that didn’t have any credits from Dr Luke.

After that it went viral on TikTok for a bit and been a consistent streaming streaming hit ever since.

The titular track from "Cannibal" is probably going silver next too, it’s been a stable for Halloween party playlists all decade but especially after 2022, when the Netflix Dahmer drama premiered and everyone started realising what the Dahmer references in pop songs meant (specifically ‘Cannibal’ and Katy Perry’s ‘Dark Horse’).
