Sadly none from the Girlbands have yet to receive it. Correct me if wrong.
January 16Jan 16 It's not actually twitter it's that particular page that's gone down. Is there nothing that the OCC can get right?

January 16Jan 16 3 certifications for Drake today.GOLD Jim Reeves - Welcome To My World: The Best Of Jim ReevesWell deserved - great voice.
January 16Jan 16 'Cosmic Love' going gold manifesting something prompting it to go viral and finally go top 40 xAnd the highlight of this week's random silver certifications has to be 'Square Hammer' *.* not sure if that was already a low level stream accumulator or if it got a big leg up from the success of 'Mary On A Cross', either way we love to see it.(The Wet Leg song is 'Chaise Longue' btw, common mistake x)
January 16Jan 16 Highlights this week are "Alive", "1985" and "Your Girlfriend" platinum, "Angel" gold and "Don't Give Up" (with Kate Bush uncredited by the OCC) silver!
January 16Jan 16 Author @gasman449 Have you noticed that they’ve given the BPI certifications website a brand new look?
