Shouldn't it be platinum by now? It is one of her hugest hits in the UK

[Jamiea1112]

One of my top 3 karaoke gems 

[Peter Pan]

One of her best songs imo and often overlooked

I wouldn't call it her hugest hit tbh, definitely her most overlooked number 1

I personally love the song but I hear people talk more about Lucky and that reached #5!

I don't think it's had as much of a lasting impact in comparison to say the likes of Sometimes and Stronger. I think the release was just good timing for the UK market

600,000 for singles to go platinum in the UK.

 

@Slayer can tell you.

 

The BPI has different thresholds for singles and albums

Owe this song so much as I’ve said before. The first song of hers I ever heard, I’m from the UK and it’s really huge here, I don’t think other fans realise it’s equivalent to Baby and Oops  My favourite song by her for sure. Joint with oops lol

[SailorSpice]

Love that song, so much memories  Gonna blast it in the shower to celebrate

Honestly, one of her best songs. I never get tired of it... it's so timeless, and the lyrics are so uplifting yet emotional.  And it describes who she is so well with how kind and caring she is.

It's one of the rare songs ever that has 2 versions (the regular and the guitar version) where I like both equally and can be repeat non-stop.

my fave from bomt. and a massive hit in germany as well

It drove me nuts when I learned there was a video for "Born To Make You Happy", my favorite "non single" track from the album. I remember trying to catch glimpses of it on the screen of her Live in Hawaii special. Then I believe it finally got a US release, on a McDonalds exclusive VHS tape with NSYNC and Britney. I also remember reading the lyrics to my friend over the phone and pretending they were a poem I'd written! "Born to Slay You Happy" is wonderful.

I mean globally Lucky was more successful. 

Lucky reached to number #1 in germany. + Switzerland and austria, maybe that's why. 

+ In germany she has 2 number ones, Lucky is one of them.  

+ But BTMYH is the better song.

Queen of England! Diamond certification next.

I meant as in ONE of her hugest hits in UK since I have heard many people whom live in Europe say it was as big as BOMT at the time it came out
