Not top 5 lol

Circus speands a 3rd week in a row at #1 in WorldWide Album Chart...by selling another 163,000 copies and bringin a total to 2,235,000 in 5 weeks :)
How many Copies does an album need to seel to be certified 'Gold' & 'Platinum' in the UK?? Is it 250k & 300k? :unsure:
i thought it was something like this

 

60k for silver

100k for gold

300k platinum

I think they're shipments ;) NOT TOO Sure though! But you could be right as people are saying The Saturdays album is nearly Gold and that's on something like 90,000 copies... but it's just gone Gold... in Shipments... So who knows...

 

EDIT: Just found this on The OCC website:

 

Q9. How many sales are needed for certified Gold/Silver/Platinum status?

 

A. BPI certified awards measure the British recording industry’s weekly singles & albums sales to UK retailers.

 

Certification Levels for singles are: Silver 200,000 / Gold 400,000 / Platinum 600,000

 

Certification Levels for albums are: Silver 60,000 / Gold 100,000 / Platinum 300,000

 

BPI certified awards were originally introduced in April 1973 to measure the performance of individual records based on sales to the trade each week.

 

Qualification for albums was initially on the basis of revenue received by manufacturers, and in January 1978 the BPI abolished the old monetary system for albums and replaced it with a unit system.

 

This brought album awards into line with singles and also with other countries where qualification levels are based on unit sales.

 

Multi-platinum awards, introduced in February 1987, are any multiple of the platinum level, e.g. album quadruple platinum status = 1.2m.

 

So Addy was right :o 'Circus' has gone 'Gold' and Not too far away from 'Platinum' :dance: With 'Circus' and 'If U Seek Amy', the Tour and a possible 4th single still to come, I'm pretty sure it will sell around 400-500k in Total in the UK! :yahoo:

That seems more like it. I thought the album was Gold status for a while now in the UK.
