In the United Kingdom, singles are certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) when they pass 600,000 units as measured by the Official Charts Company. Since July 2013, this has been automatically applied by the BPI as a single reaches the threshold of any multiple of 600,000 rather than relying on the record companies to apply for the awards or limiting awards to releases after 1973 (when the awards system was first set up).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Certified Awards – A Timeline )〕 Since 1 January 1989, the number of sales required to qualify for Silver, Gold and Platinum discs has been 200,000 (Silver), 400,000 (Gold) and 600,000 (Platinum). Prior to this, the thresholds were 250,000 (Silver), 500,000 (Gold) and 1,000,000 (Platinum). For singles released before the current thresholds, only digital sales since 2005 are used to calculate the certification: so, for example, "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor was a Gold record from 1982 (500,000 copies) and passed 1 million sales before 2010, but was only certified Platinum in 2014 for 600,000 digital sales (streams and downloads), while its total sales were about 1.4 million. From February 2005, downloads became eligible and for awards made in or after July 2014 audio streaming has been included at a rate of 100 streams equivalent to one unit (with any streams from the start of 2014 being counted). In the tables below the certifications are all multiples of 600,000 units unless otherwise stated and separated according to whether streaming is included. On 22 July 2013, a large number of certifications were made for singles whose sales passed awards thresholds once digital sales since 2005 were added, and again in July 2014 once audio streams from the start of 2014 were added. By the end of 2014, a total of 276 singles had been certified Platinum since 2000. ==Artists with the most Platinum singles== The artist with the most Platinum singles in the UK is Rihanna, with thirteen (including three as a featured artist). Two of these are 2× Platinum. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Platinum singles in the United Kingdom awarded since 2000」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
