LOSING YOU SILVER?! Omg! Who needs the top 100? 😎

Great to see Smiley Faces also make silver after nearly 20 years!

Highlights this week: Higher Ground silver, Babylon 2x platinum, Every Breath You Take and Everlong 4x platinum and How To Save A Life 5x platinum!

Guessing Tragedy is without Heartbeat? 🤔

Tragedy going gold is an odd one. I think it was a million seller physically in the post-1994 era, but I guess as it was a AA side, its digital sales have been counted separately.

Deep Purple - Fireball (Silver)

135,000 pre February 1994 units + 200,000 post February 1994 units = 335,000 total chart units

It was actually the album of the same name that was certified this week, not the song. The song hasn't reached 200,000 post-February 1994 units yet.
