Nopity-nope! HTW spent 21 weeks on UK charts and is certified Gold. LNFSG spent 28 weeks on UK charts and is certified Plantinum. Funny old world...π€·ββοΈ Weird. Surely that's some classification BS and not actual sales. HTW was number 2 for about 4 weeks over Christmas, the biggest selling time of year and was only held from number 1 by Whitney"s IWALY. At the time (before Earth Song) it was his biggest selling solo single in the UK wasn't it? Where as LNFSG came and went in the blink of an eye in an era where sales are crazy low. Am I totally misremembering here? Can't remember if streams counted towards singles sales in 2010. It doesn't feel like LNFSG spent 28 weeks on the chart though. The official stats says it did....

One Day... sold approximately 800,000 copies by the early 1990s, so about double that of HTW. BoW, I'm sure, sold more than HTW too.

The Compilation Album 'The Essential Michael Jackson' 5 Times Platinum In England
The British Phonographic Industry, better known by its initials BPI, has just updated its certifications, including the compilation 'The Essential Michael Jackson' now certified five times Platinum with the sale of 1,500,000 units. It should be noted that this certification only represents the sales of this compilation since January 10th, 2011 while it was released in 2005.
For its part, Michael Jackson's single 'Ben' was certified silver on May 12, with the sale of 200,000 units as of November 14th, 2004. It is the same for the single 'Scream' certified silver on April 7, with the sale of 200,000 units as of October 29th, 2017.
The single 'Black Or White' is platinum since May 5 with the sale of 600,000 units as of November 15th, 2004. The same is true for the single 'They Don't Care About Us' certified platinum with the sale of 600,000 units as of November 15th, 2004.
Note for BPI certifications that since 2014 (Singles) and 2015 (Albums), the sales count has reflected consumption via audio streaming and in April 2018, certifications were renamed from BPI Awards to BRIT Certified Awards, with eligibility for video streams added shortly after. When a single or album has reached the appropriate level of sales as measured by Official Charts, the tracks are now "automatically certified" by the BPI. Streams now count towards album and singles certifications and are measured according to chart eligibility rules established by Official Charts.
