August 20Aug 20 Some great certs this week!Echoing the love for "My Delirium"! Was obsessed with it when released 18 years ago... As well as the album! Also great to see Mary J. Blige's "Real Love" certified silver - an R&B classic. Shame it only managed to peak at #68 in the UK.

August 20Aug 20 I can't believe Tina Turner's The Best is certified for 600,000 more units than Whats Love Got To Do With It. The latter song is far superior and more signature Tina in my opinion.

The latter song is far superior and more signature Tina in my opinion.The former became associated as a football anthem which is why it became a top 10 hit again in 2010 & re-charted at #25 in 2023.
