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.

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.
