LesFleur Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 "Do You Hear What I Hear?" recorded for the 1987 A Very Special Christmas, produced by Jimmy Iovine for A&M Records #1 Gospel Digital Songs Sales for 39 weeks! ("I Look to You" was #1 for 6 weeks) #1 Gospel Streaming Songs for 15 weeks! Appeared on every Gospel Digital Songs YEAR-END chart from 2013-21 Spotify: 22M YouTube: 9.4M 31.4M streams = 209,333 units (WW) To estimate its digital sales, I'll use a quote from Billboard in 2015 Spoiler 'Lastly, a surprise live performance of Michelle Williams’ “Say Yes” — with her fellow Destiny’s Child members Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland — spurs a 233 percent sales gain for the song. The trio reunited to perform the track at the Stellar Awards (which aired April 5 on TV One but was taped March 28). It was the group’s first performance together since the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show. “Say Yes” rises 10-2 on Gospel Digital Songs (see Billboard.com) with 3,000 sold.' If 3,000 sold in 1 week was enough for #2 on the same chart, let's assume 3,500 for #1. 3,500 x 39 weeks at #1 = 136,500 units (US)

GreatestLoveofAll Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 I never even paid attention to it's stats tbh- to answer your question from the Whitney thread yes I do think it will go gold eventually especially with the aid of the Pentatonix remake
