Hopes And Fears crossing the 3 million mark is also brilliant ❤️

Glad it has finally made it - it’s a classic.

August 22Aug 22 Author I'm surprised that "The Fear" only got to 2x Platinum now. I thought it did more than that.

This is one of the instances where it appears on Christmas playlists because it has a wintery video.
August 29Aug 29 14 hours ago, DanielCarey said:PLATINUM & MULTI-PLATINUM Inner City - Good LifeThey’ve had their second silver single and first platinum single within a couple of weeks! But I’m surprised that this has streamed so much more than ‘Big Fun!’ To be fair ‘Good Life’ charted so much higher - but ‘Big Fun’ sold so much more than its peak suggested. Interesting that that they share with Tame Impala the concept of a man Kevin posing as a group.
