Feeder_Guy wrote:The Longview one is very interesting.

The album has 2 silver discs this week, as it comes in 3 issues.

The second one followed the 80 percent rule, so the sales from those 2 are combined, but the 3rd one don't due to adding extra tracks, and leaving one off.

This means the album has 2 silver discs for each one as if the band have 2 albums!.

I don't understand why the sales couldn't be combined for all 3 versions in this case.

All 12 tracks on "Mercury" Release 1 (Jul 2003)appear on Release 2 (Special Edition, Jan 2005). There is a 9 track bonus disc but all 9 are remixes of the original tracks and can be ignored for the calculation. 100% of qualifying tracks are common to both versions, so sales can be combined.

Release 2 was then deleted and Release 3 (bonus tracks, July 2005) was issued. This drops one of the original 12 tracks and adds two new ones plus a remix. The remix can be ignored so that makes 13 qualifying tracks on the 'bigger' version - 11 of which appear on Release 1 *and* Release 2. 11 tracks in common out of 13 is 84.62%

So why can't Version 3 be combined with Versions 1 and 2? Is the problem the track that was dropped from version 3 ("This Is"), perhaps due to the following rule? "Remixed, extended, live, demo versions of featured tracks are exempt from the 80% rule which only applies to formats which feature additional track titles." Or is the problem one of the bonus tracks "Falling Without You" (why call it a bonus track anyway? It was on the original just like most of the others). Or is the remix "Further" not a true remix?

Or is there some unstated limitation on the number of times you can combine different versions? Help!!!

the only one's I know is that Mariah's TEOM and Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway got 2x Platinum, Mariah's GH 1x Platinum and James Blunt's Back to Bedlam 7x Platinum

yeah on the BPI site there's no certification since November 11 argh

anyway James Blunt's You're Beautiful doesn't appear in the site, even if we've been told it became SILVER... I guess by now it's even GOLD.

Don't Cha has been certified Silver too.

I hope BPI will update its site soon!

by **MIGUEL** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 12:35 pm

Could anybody post new certifications since november?

www.last.fm/user/verdena · by **LittleArsonist** » Sun Jan 08, 2006 4:28 pm

any official data from NOV 11 til last week?

especially about the singles, as the end of the year chart shows many singles were gold and silver!

so anyone is willing to share the infos for the missing 2 months?
