Where can you find UK album sales numbers?

[Dee]

I would like to know and wondered if someone here knew. It would be nice to see how much albums sell there each week and if they've reached gold or platinum.

I saw someone post how much Avril sold in her first week in the UK so the info must be somewhere.

Does anybody know how much you have to sell to go gold or platinum in the UK?

If anyone can answer any of my questions, thank you.

You can find out about shipments here. www.bpi.co.uk/

For Albums:

Silver=60,000
Gold=100,000
Platinum=300,000

You can also search for individual artists/titles to see how much they've been certified.

Also some sales figures get posted here s3.invisionfree.com/Chart_forum_refugees/index.php?s=f374ad8004495d5f8d9b5498c1193c16&showforum=1 on mondays.

Thank you very much.

I tried to search on the first link but I failed somehow.
Do you know how and where to search on the site. I clicked on Certified Awards and wrote an artists name and they said no match was found.

You need to put last name first:

ie Lavigne Avril should work, or just Lavigne.

Aha, thank you.
