The most successful female single in the UK did THAT.

It's about to go 7x platinum - only four other songs have done that. 

 

She'll have the most successful song EVER there in a couple of years.

[Both Sides Now]

Amazing for RAYE and 070 Shake too

The top 2 is probably gonna end up being AIWFCIY and Mr Brightside considering it charts pretty much every single week outside a high influx of rising/debuting songs (like Christmas).

Why are they using Justin Bieber's pic?

Golden oldies – specifically Christmas songs of the past - glitter afresh this week, with the shiniest bauble and the brightest light of all being Mariah Carey’s iconic 1994 tinsel tune All I Want For Christmas Is You, which returns to the top of the chart 103 weeks after it first settled there, in December 2020.

All I Want For Christmas Is You jumps 8-1 on consumption of 44,797 units – a 69.67% increase week-on-week – despite being on ACR. Its unadjusted consumption of 88,686 units enables it to become the seventh song to achieve consumption in excess of four million units since Kantar (Millward Brown) took over compilation of the chart in 1994. Its to-date tally of 4,003,196 units comprises 933,516 digital downloads, 171,278 CDs, 155,261 cassettes, 263 7-inch singles and 2,742,878 sales-equivalent streams.

Consumption units between the US and UK alone is totalling 15 million for AIW now. I can't. If we only add mastertones and Japan to the UK and US, the song has surpassed 20 million consumption units. ... in THREE countries. THREE.

 

Mariah is coming for Ed Sheeran and Shape of You - the biggest song in global music history. 

 

Also, Mariah's entire Christmas catalogue is now nearing 70 million consumption units.

Of course the thread is so quiet. 

 

The biggest female song of all time in the UK did THAT.

[Jude]

Too early, wow.

Five, actually. Shape of You, Perfect, Thinking Out Loud, Someone You Loved, Mr. Brightside.

 

The first four are 7x platinum and Shape of You is 9x platinum. Mariah should take over eventually.

[DemDam92]

Has a single ever been certified Diamond in UK?

Their cert seem so hard to be reached.

The biggest song in global music history is White Christmas, followed by Candle In The Wind 1997. Mariah will surpass CITW this decade and she’ll overtake White Christmas in the 30s or 40s.

They've changed the rules a few times, but before downloads and streaming Elton John's Candle in the Wind was the only song to go more than double platinum (it was certified 9x platinum). Since 2000 the highest certified song is Shape of You which is also 9x platinum. So I guess the answer is no.

Crazy tbh but makes Diamond even more special.

UK not have Diamond certification, only 10x Platinum (according on albums).
