BRIT Awards@BRITs The UK can't tame her! @zaralarsson receives her BRIT Billion Award for a billion UK streams! Zara Larsson joins the awardees.

Type in the word "swear". The second entry is their Gold award. Now tap the word "Westlife". You will see the new Platinum award. Searching on the group name does not work, but hopefully it will soon be fixed. Hope that helps!

They are definitely there if you look in the right place. I can see them. Try searching on date.

Hope this Friday's are on time.

Should now be up to date.

Now updated for 22nd September. I like this new cert. Beatles - In my life - Apple Corps - Platinum - Single - 22.09.2023 - 16.11.2010

They are on their holidays in America.

Shortage of staff perhaps.

This is the link.

Wednesday - no update yet (but it is available at HAVEN).

Some people may be interested, but don't comment. After all I started the thread. Nobody is forced to read it, or to comment.

FROM THE BPI 01.09.23 Jonas Blue have been awarded a BRIT Billion Award, celebrating the landmark of one billion UK streams.

Billie Eilish has been announced as the latest artist to receive a BRIT Billion Award by the BPI, the representative voice for the UK’s world leading record labels and music companies. The BRIT Billion award celebrates Billie’s achievement in surpassing the landmark of one billion career UK streams - as calculated by the Official Charts Company. Bad Guy alone has over 300m streams, with six other tracks crossing the 100m mark.

I like these 3 awards this week, from the 60s. Gerry & The Pacemakers - You'll Never Walk Alone - Parlophone - Platinum - Single - 25.08.2023 - 02.05.2005 Beatles - Yesterday - Apple Corps - Platinum - Single - 25.08.2023 - 16.11.2010 Beatles - Here Comes The Sun - Apple Corps - Platinum 3x - Single - 25.08.2023 - 16.11.2010

Dua Lipa's Dance the night cassette at 99p (post feee) still available at, here In transparent pink!

Was not aware of this album rule. 4.4 Remix and Live Albums Transactions of remix or live albums will not be combined with sales of the original studio version. This is an interesting album rule 9.3 Where a track appears on more than one album by an artist, streams of this track will be attributed equally to each studio album that has not charted in the top 40, a maximum of one studio album that has charted in the top 40 (the album to first chart in the top 40, or other studio album nominated in advance by label), and a maximum of one greatest hits album (the hits title with the highest sales DUS for that given week, or other hits title nominated in advance by label). And the track itself gets the streams for the singles chart? Is that 4 different ways of attributing streams?

All is now back to normal. Hurrah. The 1753 date has been removed. Some junior intern must have been left in charge these last 2 weeks!

They will lose money with that order. The 99p CD single is sold out.

Another artist named on Twitter (or X). Olivia Rodrigo BRIT Awards@BRITs·20h It's a billion streams in the UK for @oliviarodrigo! ✨ She becomes the youngest artist to receive the BRIT Billion Award, and was presented it during her trip to London!

And in Amazon US. Taylor Swift - Speak Now (TV) 6,000+ Beatles - Abbey Road 1,000+

Has anyone noticed that Amazon are now giving some monthly sales figures for selected albums? For example, Fleetwood Mac - Rumours 800+ Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon 600+ Taylor Swift - Speak now (TV) 400+ Beatles - Let it be 200+

So what is the next big technology to replace streaming? Figure that out and you will become a millionaire (in pounds, not streams).

But how may of those "sales" are down to streams?

Wizkid 30/7/23 It's one billion UK streams for @wizkidayo, who was presented with his BRIT Billion Award while in London for his incredible show at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
