@Jade 2 brand new certs for Ari this week!

"All Fired Up" by The Saturdays is now certified Gold! Third gold certification in a row for them!

@JulianNial @-Jay- @Liam.k. 2 weeks after 'Issues' was certified Gold, and 1 week after 'Just Can't Get Enough' was certified gold, 'All Fired Up' is now certified Gold!

Certifications announced via the BRITs Twitter account: SINGLES: PLATINUM & MULTI-PLATINUM Lorde - Green Light (2x) Gracie Abrams - I miss you, I'm sorry GOLD Kendrick Lamar & SZA - luther SILVER Chappell Roan - The Giver Olivia Rodrigo - so american ALBUMS: PLATINUM & MULTI-PLATINUM Bruno Mars - Unorthodox Jukebox (4x) Adele - 30 (3x) Drake - Views (3x) GOLD Tate McRae - So Close To What SILVER Kano - Hoodies All Summer

I expect that 'Ordinary' will be the first song to do 1 million in 2025.

Looks like "Short n' Sweet" is gonna be the #1 album of the year - unless something really big gets released.

They have 7 non-certified singles. Which one do you think will get to Silver first? If This Is Love Work My Heart Takes Over 30 Days Gentleman Not Giving Up What Are You Waiting For?

Do you guys think 'party 4 u' will reach the top 20 on the official chart at all in the future?

"The Giver" has been certified Silver in the UK, becoming Chappell's 8th certified song in the region.

I've noticed that you've accidentally put 1.3 million total units for Alex Warren's "Ordinary" @Julian_

Ed Sheeran has the most top 20 singles in the same week, when all 16 songs from Divide charted in the top 20. They had to create the 3 song rule because of this, which means that it will never happen again.

Taylor's top 40 biggest hits in the UK (no particular order): Shake It Off Cruel Summer Blank Space Love Story Anti-Hero I Knew You Were Trouble We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together I Don't Wanna Live Forever (w/ Zayn) Style Look What You Made Me Do Wildest Dreams Lover Bad Blood You Need To Calm Down cardigan Everything Has Changed (ft.

"Guess" ft. Billie Eilish has reached 600 million streams on Spotify. It's Charli's third song, and first as a lead artist, to achieve this. @Jade

@-Jay- Forgot to mention that "Who Do You Love" by The Chainsmokers ft. 5 Seconds of Summer is now certified Gold.

For me, I started paying attention to the UK charts back in 2009 when I was 14 or 15 years old. However, it became a full-blown thing the year after. I used to watch the UK top 40 singles chart on MTV literally every single week. When did you start paying attention to the UK charts?

Back in March 2009, I was walking home from school with my sister and a few of our friends when my sister played "Love Story" on her iPod. I asked her who she was listening to because I liked the sound of the song. She told me Taylor's name and the name of the song. When we arrived back home, I immediately went to my room to go on my laptop and listen to it. That's the first time I've ever heard a Taylor Swift song. She was already known in the USA a couple of years prior to this. This was the first Taylor song most British people like myself knew. What was the first Taylor song you've ever heard? Do you also remember when/how you heard it?

I can't wait for Slow's Platinum certification in 2162! 🤣

Ordinary roughly at 667k after this week. Should be overtaking "That's So True" next week.

Certifications are up!
