Katy Perry's classic Acoustic ballad Thinking of You is certified BPI silver

Katy's 2008 track Thinking of You has reached BPI silver status (200,000) shipments. Still to this day The British phonographic industry is the only recording institute to offer the Silver Cert.

 

Albums 60,000 is silver

Singles is 200,000.

 

For a while in 2015. Discussion was going around the social media that The RIAA should adopt the Silver cert. Since most albums even with streaming numbers were getting hard to cross 500,000. It's even more rare to go Platinum. Halsey is still the only act to achieve Platinum status this year for Manic.

 

I really think we should have a Silver cert for crossing the 250,000 threshold. This is usually where all the pure sales acts. Madonna, Britney, Janet and Mariah stop at on current releases. So it should be adopted. In most respects
