Methodology & sources
Every number here is meant to be trusted — so here is exactly where the figures come from, how they're checked, and how often they're refreshed.
How a figure gets verified
Primary sources, not summaries
A number is verified against the body that owns it — the chart's official run, the certifying database, the platform's own screen. Search-result snippets and news write-ups go stale and often quote the wrong chart (Global 200 vs Global 200 Excl. US, for example), so an official chart body's own card or database always wins over a summary that paraphrases it.
Nothing goes up unverified
If a claim can't be traced to a primary source, it doesn't appear as fact. Where something is credible but not yet confirmed, it's labelled as such (for example, cars in the collection marked “unconfirmed”) rather than stated flatly.
The right metric, precisely
Similar-sounding figures are kept distinct — chart entries versus peaks, worldwide charts versus US-inclusive ones, and “No. 1s” counted as the number of times a song reached the top spot, not the number of songs released. Today the site tracks 276 chart entries, 46 worldwide No. 1s and 234 certifications across 26 countries.
A plaque is not a chart entry
A certification counts units sold or streamed across a release's whole life; a chart entry counts one week against everything else out that week. A song can clear a certification threshold without ever entering a country's principal chart, so the two are never merged and a plaque is never promoted into a placing. Davido's “Blow My Mind” and “Risky” are the clearest case: both appear on the UK's Official Video Streaming Chart, and neither has ever entered the Official Singles Chart. A component chart is not the chart, and reading one as the other is the most common way these tallies inflate.
Conflicts resolve to the source of record
When two sources disagree, the one that owns the data wins: SNEP for the French chart, Billboard for the Global 200, the RIAA for US certifications. A louder or more recent headline doesn't override the official record.
Where the numbers come from
Official certification databases of each market — the RIAA (US), BPI (UK), SNEP (France), BVMI (Germany), FIMI (Italy) and others. A certification is only counted once it appears in the awarding body's own searchable database.
The chart body that owns each chart, read from its official run and never from a third-party summary. 37 of the tracked charts are the national industry body's own — the Official Charts Company (UK), SNEP (France), GfK (Germany), FIMI (Italy), PROMUSICAE (Spain), ZPAV (Poland), TurnTable (Nigeria) and their equivalents. 16 are airplay or broadcast-monitor charts — Monitor Latino, TopHit, Radiomonitor, Ipsos, BMAT, PROPHON — and count only where the country publishes no other national chart at all. 14 are Billboard country charts, used only where a territory has no national body chart of its own — including the US and Canada, where Billboard's is the chart of record. The remaining 2 are Billboard's two worldwide charts. Where a country does publish an official non-airplay chart, that chart wins.
Spotify and YouTube's own in-app figures for monthly listeners, followers and view counts, cross-checked against the platforms directly. Fast-moving totals are tracked live and updated as they move, not pulled from a scraper.
The awarding organisation's official winners and nominees lists — the Recording Academy (Grammys), BET, the BRIT Awards, MOBO, MTV and others — plus contemporaneous reporting from established outlets for the ceremony itself.
Box-office and attendance figures from Billboard Boxscore and Pollstar where available, verified venue capacities, and primary reporting for one-off shows and festival billings.
How often it's updated
Fast-moving streaming figures are tracked live and updated as they move. Slower records — certifications, chart peaks, awards — are updated as each milestone is confirmed. Every change worth noting is logged on the updates feed.
Spotted something wrong?
Accuracy matters more than being first. Send the primary source — an official chart card, a certification database entry, a platform screenshot — via the contact page. Verified corrections are applied quickly and noted on the feed.
When a source shows less than it awarded
A register can publish fewer awards than it has issued, and absence from one is not evidence against it. Nigeria is the sharpest case: TurnTable's public certification page serves a hard cap of 500 rows, and currently no Silver awards at all — for any artist. This site reads that same register's own archived captures alongside the live page, so its Nigerian counts run higher than TurnTable's site shows today. Nothing is inferred: it is the same register, read further back. Open the capture below and search an artist's name to check any figure yourself.

Who can read this site
The target is WCAG 2.1 AA. In practice that means every page works from the keyboard alone with a visible focus ring, the interactive parts — search, the filters, the tour map — are operable without a mouse, text meets AA contrast against the dark ground, images that carry meaning have alt text while decorative ones are hidden from screen readers, motion respects prefers-reduced-motion, and controls meet the 44px touch target — some of them through an extended hit area rather than a larger visible box, which is why a few look smaller than they are.
Known gaps, because a statement listing only successes is no use to the person relying on it: the world map on the tours page is a visual first and its country shapes cannot be reached by keyboard — the same journeys are listed as text on the same page, and on a phone the list is what renders. Some data tables scroll horizontally on narrow screens. If something here does not work for you, the contact page reaches me directly and it is worth reporting — it will get fixed.
Claims checked and not published
Bigger totals for this artist circulate every few months. Each one has been walked body by body against the awarding organisation's own records, and what could not be traced is not here. The checks cut both ways — four of them changed figures on this site.
No primary source names him
- ASCAP Awards
- No primary source names him for a specific song or year.
- The FABYs
- No primary source names him at all.
- That Grape Juice Awards
- No primary source names him at all.
- Africa Golden Awards
- No primary source names him at all.
- Odudu PH City Awards
- No primary source names him — four claimed wins, none traceable.
- Nigeria Music Video Awards (win)
- Nominations only. The claimed win rests on a low-confidence source, so it is not counted.
- NMPA Songwriter Awards
- No evidence of any kind.
- TooXclusive Awards
- A real ceremony, but no verifiable win — the ceremony existing is not the same as the win existing.
- The Nation Newspaper Awards
- Editorial praise, not a competitive award. Recognition is not a trophy.
- “Ghana Music Awards USA”
- No ceremony by that name appears to exist. The real diaspora show is the Ghana Entertainment Awards USA, which is listed here under its own name.
Counts that circulate higher than ours
- AFRIMMA — 10 wins
- Eight. The 2019 and 2020 winners lists match this site exactly.
- Metro FM Music Awards — 4 wins
- Three, all from 2016.
- BMI Awards — 2 wins
- One, for “Last Last” in 2023.
- Galaxy Music Awards — 5 wins
- One. No breakdown of the other four exists anywhere.
- “Dai Dai” — No. 2 on US Rhythmic radio
- No. 4 on Mediabase's Rhythmic chart, read on its syndicated listing. Mediabase and Billboard are different charts that share a monitoring feed: Billboard's Rhythmic Airplay ranks 40 positions on its own reporter panel and a Mon–Sun week, Mediabase's ranks 50 on its own panel and a Sun–Sat week. The gap showed in this record on the charts dated 22 August 2026 — Billboard No. 3, Mediabase No. 4, the same week. Both charts have since put the song at No. 1: Billboard's Rhythmic Airplay on the charts dated 5 and 12 September 2026 (No. 2 on 19 September), Mediabase's Rhythmic on the chart week ending 5 September (No. 5 on 12 September). This site publishes the Billboard peak.
- African Giant — “the first ever certified Nigerian album” (Silver, UK, 22 September 2020)
- The award is real but the rest is not. BPI's own register dates the Silver 18 September 2020 — the 22nd is when the press ran it — and the album has been Gold since 22 July 2022. It was Burna Boy's first UK-certified album, not the first certified Nigerian one: Sade, born in Ibadan, had Diamond Life at 4× Platinum with the BPI by 1987, and Lagos-born Keziah Jones's Blufunk was Double Gold with SNEP in June 2000. This site carries the award and its dates, and no superlative.
- “Dai Dai” — 6,050,000 units sold worldwide
- A fan estimate, not a figure any body or platform publishes. No certifying body states worldwide units for a single, and pure sales run in the low thousands a week, so a total that size can only be streams converted to units at a ratio of the poster's choosing — its lines for India, MENA, Brazil and Mexico sit where no register prices the song at all. Where a register does speak, it says less: the RIAA's only award is the Latin programme's 2× Platino, at least 120,000 units, not 935,000; the BPI's is Silver, at least 200,000, not 370,000; BVMI and Music Canada hold no award for the song. This site prices the song's 13 plaques at their own bodies' thresholds — at least 937,428 certified units across the 10 that can be priced — and publishes no worldwide total.
Checks that changed our own figures
- “Ginger” — Swiss Platinum
- Gold. IFPI Schweiz's register prints one row for the record, Gold in 2023, and no Platinum in any year; the tier had been carried a rung too high since 2023. Caught because Wizkid's board row read Gold and the compare page priced the same recording two ways.
- IRAWMA 2023 — logged as a loss
- He won Best Afrobeats Entertainer at the 40th IRAWMA. Confirmed on the ceremony's own winners list and flipped to a win.
- The Headies — a tenth win nobody could source
- Found: Rookie of the Year, 2012, shared with Dammy Krane — his first award. The ceremony page omits the special category, so it took the Headies' own category history and a 2014 winners archive to confirm.
- AEA USA 2025 — press said Best Male Artist
- Press misread the list order; that one went to Wizkid. He won International Artist of the Year, which the awarding body's own winners PDF gold-marks.
Who awards a plaque, and what it means
A certification is awarded by one country's industry body against that body's own threshold, and the thresholds are not the same. A tier is a statement about one market, not a common unit — so the totals on this site count plaques, and a plaque count is never a sales figure. The clearest example is on this site already: “Dai Dai” holds 2× Platinum from the RIAA's Latin programme, which certifies Platinum at 60,000 units and 2× at 120,000, while a standard RIAA Platinum is 1,000,000 — the same two words meaning roughly a sixteenth as much. Never add tiers across programmes and read the result as scale.

How often it's updated
Fast-moving streaming figures — Spotify monthly listeners, follower counts, YouTube views — are tracked live and updated as they move. Slower records such as certifications, chart peaks and awards are updated as each new milestone is confirmed. Every change worth noting is logged on the Latest Updates feed, so you can always see what changed and when.

Accuracy matters more than being first. If a figure looks off — or a new milestone has been reached — send the primary source (an official chart card, a certification database entry, a platform screenshot) via the contact page. Verified corrections are applied quickly and noted on the updates feed.

How /compare counts
The compare page does the one thing the section above says a plaque count cannot: it puts two catalogues on a single scale. It can only do that by pricing every plaque at its own body's published threshold and being explicit about what that buys, so four rules govern it.
Every figure is a floor. A Platinum single in the UK means at least 600,000 units; it could be 1,190,000 and nobody would know until it reached 2×. So the page says “at least”, and never says “sold”. It is a floor for both sides under identical rules, which is what keeps the comparison honest rather than precise.
Today's threshold, at every body. 13 of the 27 bodies changed their levels inside the window these plaques span, and most raised them. Every plaque is priced at the level the body publishes today — the figure a reader can check against the body's own page — and wherever that body raised its levels, the page marks the figure with a “‡” and says so: a plaque awarded before the rise may have cleared a lower bar than today's figure implies. A South African Platinum single is priced at RiSA's current 40,000 units; one earned in 2022 needed 20,000. The alternative — pricing at the lowest level each body has applied since 2015 — was established for every body and is kept in the data, but it would understate every plaque earned after a rise by as much as it protects the earlier ones, and it prices against numbers no body publishes any more. Two refinements hold either way: a body that changed what it measures— Poland to złoty of revenue — cannot have its singles priced from the old unit regime, so those stay listed and unsummed; and for a body that keys thresholds to release date, the band a record actually fell in is the one that applies.
One plaque per release per country, at its current tier.Gold → Platinum → 2× Platinum is the same sales recertified, not three sales. A release's own upgrades are never added together.
Units are not a common currency, so some plaques cannot be priced. Of the 27 bodies whose plaques appear here, 24 can price a single: 16 publish the threshold in sales-equivalent units and 8 publish it in streams. 6 of those publish their own download-equivalence, which is what this site converts with — France at 150 streams to a download, Denmark and Norway at 100, the Netherlands at 215, Czechia at 222, Slovakia at 217. Two — Sweden and Mexico — publish their levels in streams and no ratio at all; their plaques are converted at 100 streams to a unit, the ratio Denmark and Norway publish for the same measure, and every such line carries a “§” that says so. It is the one place the page applies a ratio a body did not set, and it is there because a plaque that cannot be summed is a plaque that goes unseen. Sweden counts capped streams, so its figure is a floor twice over. What remains cannot be converted at any ratio: Poland measures singles in złoty of revenue, and Colombia and Greece publish no threshold. Those plaques are listed and never summed — and never folded out of sight — because scoring them zero in silence would penalise whoever holds more of them.
Nigeria is separated by default. TCSN's register is request-based — absence from it proves nothing about a record, only that nobody applied — so a gap between two artists there can measure paperwork rather than sales. It is counted on its own line, never deleted, and folded in automatically when both artists hold most of their plaques there or when one of them holds none anywhere else. Whenever that happens the page says so, in a sentence, on screen.
Which bodies raised their thresholds, and when
Wherever a figure on the compare page carries a “‡”, the body behind it raised its levels since 2015. This is the record, body by body; the lower levels each body applied are kept in the data.
- 🇨🇿 ČNS IFPI — ČNS IFPI's stream thresholds have not moved, but its download equivalence fell from 225 to 222 subscription streams on 9 March 2026, so the same threshold is worth slightly more units today than in 2025. Priced at today's ratio. Before July 2025 Czech certification ran on CZK revenue — a different measure.
- 🇫🇷 SNEP — SNEP raised its single levels on 27 April 2018 from 10, 20 and 35 million équivalent streams to 15, 30 and 50 million — 66,666 / 133,333 / 233,333 units to 100,000 / 200,000 / 333,333 at its 150:1 ratio. Priced at today's level; a plaque awarded before then may have cleared the lower bar.
- 🇩🇪 BVMI — BVMI raised its single levels on 30 June 2023 from 200,000 / 400,000 / 1,000,000 to 300,000 / 600,000 / 1,500,000. Albums moved the other way on the same date, keyed to release date: Gold 100,000 / Platin 200,000 for albums first released 1 January 2003 to 29 June 2023, 75,000 / 150,000 for releases from 30 June 2023 — the table prints the newer band, and no German album plaque is on the site. Priced at today's level; a plaque awarded before then may have cleared the lower bar. BVMI keys bands to release date and every German single here was released 2016 or later.
- 🇭🇺 MAHASZ — MAHASZ raised singles from 1,500 / 3,000 to 5,000 / 10,000 and international albums from 1,000 / 2,000 to 2,000 / 4,000 inside the window, keying the changes to release date. Priced at today's level; a plaque on an earlier release may have cleared the lower bar.
- 🇮🇹 FIMI — FIMI raised its single levels three times from week 01/2020 — 15,000 / 30,000 / 300,000 to today's 100,000 / 200,000 / 2,000,000. Albums never moved. Priced at today's level; a plaque awarded before 2020 may have cleared a bar as low as a seventh of this.
- 🇲🇽 AMPROFON — AMPROFON raised album levels from 30,000 / 60,000 / 300,000 to 70,000 / 140,000 / 700,000, and single levels from 9.3 / 18.6 / 93 million to 22 / 44 / 220 million audio streams, for releases from 1 November 2020. Priced at today's level; a plaque on an earlier release may have cleared the lower bar.
- 🇳🇱 NVPI — NVPI's singles were 15,000 / 30,000 units before mid-2016 and are 10, 20 and 50 million streams at 215 streams per sale today — 46,511 / 93,023 / 232,558 units. Priced at today's level; a plaque awarded under an earlier regime may have cleared a lower bar.
- 🇵🇱 ZPAV — ZPAV raised album levels from 10,000 / 20,000 / 100,000 to 15,000 / 30,000 / 150,000 on 1 January 2025. Priced at today's level; a plaque awarded before then may have cleared the lower bar. Singles are not priced: measured in units only Aug 2015–Feb 2017 and in PLN wholesale revenue since 1 March 2017, and every Polish single here is from the revenue regime.
- 🇵🇹 Audiogest — Audiogest raised its single levels from 5,000 / 10,000 / 100,000 to 12,000 / 25,000 / 250,000 on 1 January 2024. Albums did not move. Priced at today's level; a plaque awarded before 2024 may have cleared the lower bar.
- 🇸🇰 ČNS IFPI — ČNS IFPI's Slovak stream thresholds have not moved, but its download equivalence fell from 240 to 217 subscription streams on 9 March 2026, with two unarchived revisions between, so the same threshold is worth more units today than in 2025. Priced at today's ratio. Until 2022 the Slovak awards ran on euro revenue — a different measure.
- 🇿🇦 RiSA — RiSA roughly doubled its thresholds for sales after 1 January 2024 — singles Gold 10,000 → 20,000, Platinum 20,000 → 40,000; albums Gold 15,000 → 25,000, Platinum 30,000 → 50,000 — and prints both regimes side by side. Priced at today's level; a plaque awarded before 2024 may have cleared the lower bar.
- 🇪🇸 Promusicae — Promusicae raised its song thresholds in April 2025 from 20,000 / 40,000 to 50,000 / 100,000. Priced at today's level; a plaque awarded before then may have cleared the lower bar.
- 🇸🇪 Ifpi Sverige — Ifpi Sverige raised its song levels on 1 January 2024 from 4 and 8 million streams to 6 and 12 million — 40,000 / 80,000 to 60,000 / 120,000 units at 100 streams to a unit. Priced at today's level; a plaque awarded before then may have cleared the lower bar.
