I agree with both of you either they're waiting until the single goes double platinum to certify or they won't at all

Could anyone confirm whether Bold As Brass by Cliff Richard (EMI) was certified Silver or Gold.

It sold around 85,000 OTC between Oct-Dec. 2011.

I don't recall seeing any certification in music week during its chart life.

Cheers.

by **Robbie** » Tue Mar 27, 2012 11:14 pm

The album appears not have been certified. It isn't in the BPI Certification database.

I assume you mean it sold 85,000 in the period October to December 2010 and not 2011?

by **MFR** » Sat Apr 21, 2012 6:21 pm

Nor is Take Care by Drake featuring Rihanna, which was among the plethora of Universal / Island singles a couple of weeks ago.
