    That's an interesting list! From Eva Cassidy & Katie Melua - What a Wonderful World onwards, they're all charity singles. So the last "normal" #1 (without an attachment to charity) to be uncertifi

    Very pleased to see 'Slow' finally get passed the Silver mark. Strange it's taken so long, it's much more of a classic than its sales would suggest and doesn't deserve to be a part of this list of #1

Didn't realise I Want It That Way was 4x Platinum, that's impressive.

Also Waka Waka being 3x Platinum is great. Love that song.

One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful certified 4xPlatinum back in June! As things stand (based on how quickly both songs went from 3xPlat to 4xPlat), What Makes You Beautiful is on course to beat I Want It That Way to 5xPlatinum too, but only just. One Direction could do it by March 2028, followed by Backstreet Boys in April 2028.

Great to see 4 Non Blondes still picking up sales, big fan of whats up.

The TikTok trend recently really helped with sales.

Aw that’s cool for Samantha Mumba. I’m a bit surprised as Gotta Tell You only went Good in March 2025 (if I am correct) and I would have thought it sold way more than Always Come Back To Your Love.

Actually I thought Gotta Tell You might have been platinum by now!

They had quite similar levels of success!

These were the total sales in their years of release:

237,000 - Gotta Tell You (50th best seller of 2000) [27 weeks of sales contributing to this]

246,310 - Always Come Back to Your Love (39th best seller of 2001) [45 weeks of sales]

Comparing the chart runs (green - higher position, red - lower position, orange - same position)

02-08-10-15-13-17-20-25-32-33-47-65-x Gotta Tell You

03-07-07-09-14-17-23-25-35-46-62-65-60-53-57-x Always Come Back to Your Love

Gotta Tell You first week sales: 68,500

Always Come Back to Your Love first week sales: 68,000

Gotta Tell You did indeed go Gold in March (7th March 2025) so it managed that 37 weeks sooner than Always Come Back to Your Love. I wonder if ACBTYL had a higher total than GTY over the years, but GTY clawed it back since streaming came into play?

I guess of the two, I’d think of ‘Gotta Tell You’ as a classic - but not ‘ACBTYL’ - though I probably like both songs equally.

It's not the only Taylor cert today 👀 There's one from TTPD and two from The Life of a Showgirl.

Edited by DanielCarey

‘Tití Me Preguntó’ is a banger so I’m pleased to see that certified! Hopefully it will prominently feature in his Super Bowl half time performance next year.

‘Cloudbusting’ and ‘Ultraviolence’ gold 💛

So many iconic certs today!

"This Is What You Came For" going 5x plat

"Anti-Hero" and "Just Dance" going 4x plat

"We Belong Together" going 2x plat

Rufus Wainwright's version of "Hallelujah" going silver. His version of the song will always remind me of that scene in Shrek.
