Nigeria — separated.

TCSN's register is request-based, so a title missing from it proves nothing about what it sold — only that nobody applied. A gap between two artists there can measure paperwork rather than sales, which is why it is counted on its own line.

¹ Not counted — Colombia (Pro Música Colombia). Listed, never summed: these bodies publish no threshold this page can put on the same scale as the rest.

† Multiplier assumed — RMNZ publishes no multiplier rule: its Chart Rules and About page define Gold and Platinum only, with one threshold each, and never use the words multi-platinum or 2x. An N× certification is priced here as N × Platinum.

‡ This body raised its thresholds since 2015 — the figure is today's level, and a certification awarded before the rise may have cleared a lower bar. Which bodies, and when ↗

How this is counted

Every certification is a floor — a Platinum single in the UK means at least 600,000, and could be 1,190,000. This page adds those floors up for two records or two artists, at each certifying body's own published threshold, under identical rules.
