taustin13 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) I think re-certifying songs ten years later due to streaming is pretty pointless.

Your thought process makes no sense - why should they stop certifying a song and measuring its popularity just because it’s no longer being pushed? Catalog stats are the most important thing for artists. I do think they should have had sales, streams and equivalent unit certifications, though.

LOL, no one is still buying Womanizer the single, please. Back in the old days a single would have been "deleted" after a certain time and it would then be no longer available as a single. I know things have changed not but count it towards the parent album sure, but announcing in 2019 that a single released in 2008 has gone platinum is completely pointless in my opinion.

Lol. beyonce scored million sellers. Heck even beyonce 4th single went platinum. Halo 1.4 Million If I were a boy 1.2 Million Single ladies 1.1 million Sweet Dreams 600K I looked at the 40 biggest songs of 2008 in the UK. Who cares who the songs are by? The fact that they ranked high on the year-end chart means they were undeniable hits. Including 4 Minutes which was top 10 on the year-end. Don't Stop the Music was the 2nd biggest hit off GGGB. It was huge. Doesn't matter that it was the 4th single. Shut Up and Drive and the other flop I forgot came and went. Disturbia was the lead of the re-release. Take a Bow sold almost 10M WW. Don't act like they were random flop singles from the end of an era. Halo and Sweet Dreams were released well into 2009 and the fact that IIWAB and SL weren't in the top 40 of 2008 means they smashed mostly in 2009 so they benefited from higher sales. And let's not forget that Beyonce recurrent sales/streams were massive over the years. Her numbers weren't that huge at the time. Britney was #9 of 2008 in single sales and Beyonce was like #16. The UK basically dropped Britney after the media fiasco over X Factor so her sales slowed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
