rihannabiggestfan Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Is UK the only country that automatically certifies songs? Maybe other countries should take notes (but corruption exists, wbk )

JC96 Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Interesting list I guess Celine Dion is the biggest on albums, would be great see that list.

naval23 Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Maneater was in the top 10 biggest digital songs of 2006 so surprised it's not certified - I think it's more her label not caring about updating certifications I mean Loose went 5x platinum in less than a year but they never bothered to update it after

Since the label never bothered to certify the song in 2006 when 20k was Platinum (hard to reach in 2006), now the song needs to move 80k units for a retrospective Platinum certification. It’s entirely plausible that it might have crossed that mark but generally speaking that could be a reason for it not being certified.

Cloröx Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 Most of them especially Katy, Taylor and Rihanna are severely undercertified. WANEGBT spent 4 weeks at #1 and it's only gold certified makes it makes sense
LookinAssHittas Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 I was born and raised here in Canada and I’m screaming at Camila, Halsey, Bebe, etc. being this high If certifications were automatic here, Rihanna & Katy would definitely be in the Top 2. They were the biggest hitmakers here in Canada back when digital sales were at their peak in the late 2000s/early 2010s. Katy’s “Roar” sold like 72k in pure sales in its first week here in Canada (just 8k sales away from Platinum, which is 80k)
