June 6, 200619 yr Author OMFG! Sony/BMG actually applied for it? http://www.devotedfansnetwork.com/forums/images/smilies/faintthud.gif brilliant news. :dancing: Great isn't it now all they need to do now is to update FC to 5 X Platinum. ;)
June 6, 200619 yr Here's some more info from Music Week, thanks to Willsdoc. Having shifted a sturdy 837,000 copies of Young's first album, From Now On, BMG saw the follow up Friday's Child add another 94.3% sales to take it beyond 1.6m. To further underline his credentials as an act with longevity, Young's third album, Keep On is still only 3 singles in but has to date managed more than 840,000 retail sales. :cheer:
June 6, 200619 yr Thought this news deserved a thread of it's own.BPI Awards: WILL YOUNG: KEEP ON: 3x Platinum :cheer: :yahoo: It sure does. Brilliant. :yahoo: Now all Sony/BMG have to do is get their finger out and fill in the BPI forms for the 5xplatinum for FC.
June 6, 200619 yr Amazing sales for Will, considering a lot of people have seen Keep On as a flop :o Why do the record company need to apply for the certification? I thought it was just awarded to them :unsure:
June 6, 200619 yr What a pity we still don't get to know what the download sales have been for Keep On. I suppose they must be over 60K otherwise Sony/Bmg wouldn't have applied for his 3x platinum status
June 6, 200619 yr Well done! :D Extremely similar sales to Taller In More Ways is it? I thinks so, up to now anyway. :D have you got tickets for the TT tour to see the girls? B)
June 6, 200619 yr Amazing sales for Will, considering a lot of people have seen Keep On as a flop :o Why do the record company need to apply for the certification? I thought it was just awarded to them :unsure: They have to let the BPI know the sales figures.
June 6, 200619 yr They have to let the BPI know the sales figures. The record company also have to pay the BPI for the awards, BMG are usually too tight to apply for them, that's why Will still hasn't been awarded 5x platinum for FC, although I think now it's Sony/BMG it's a lot better.
June 7, 200619 yr Here it is, all nice and official on the BPI site. :cheer: Award Type: 3 x Platinum Artist Name: YOUNG WILL Record Type: Album Record Title: KEEP ON Record Company: RCA Record Label: SONY BMG Record Release Date: Mon Nov 14 2005 Date Award Issued: Fri Jun 2 2006

June 12, 200619 yr Lovely to see this. Hope he does release a 4th single from KO. A nice up-beat one to round of the promo would go down very nicely I think :)
