One of a small number of songs to be certified platinum twice. 19 minutes ago, Ne Plus Ultra said:Last Christmas was re-released on its own in December 1985 without Everything She Wants attached.Ditto. I was about to say that. In many places they credit all 1.4/1.5 million sales to ‘Everything She Wants’, but that is incorrect.
July 17Jul 17 Jason Mraz ft. Colbie Caillat - LuckyThe nostalgia - this going gold has made me remember Colbie Caillat!!! I loved her music in the late 00s/early 2010s. "Bubbly", "Falling For You", "Realize", "I Do", "Try"- lots of great songs. I know who's albums I'll be revisiting next week on my commute! Edited July 17Jul 17 by Envoirment
July 17Jul 17 For future reference.Following Bonnie Tyler’s sad death last week, her 1983 No.1 smash Total Eclipse Of The Heart is a re-entry at No.29 (12,074 sales). The bombastic Jim Steinman song, which last charted in 2008, has digital era consumption of 1,482,665 units, and was certified gold for sales of more than 500,000 units within three months of its original release, meaning its overall consumption is in excess of two million units.
