Blinded by you grace part 2 by Stormzy has been bought or downloaded by six hundred thousand people in the UK.
Making an overt reference to faith, the track’s chorus says: “Lord, I’ve been broken. Although I’m not worthy, You fixed me; I’m blinded by your grace. You came and saved me.”
The Platinum, Gold and Silver certifications awarded to musicians for sales and streaming landmarks for their singles and albums have been rebranded.
The previous British Phonographic Industry (BPI) certifications issued to singles and albums have been relaunched to be called The Brit Certified Platinum, Gold and Silver Awards.
The awards will still be administered by the BPI, the UK record labels association which owns and organises The Brit Awards, but will now form part of The Brit Awards family of brands.
The thresholds used to determine the Platinum, Gold or Silver status of an award will not change but will be regularly reviewed, the BPI said.
At present, certifications are based on data from the Official Charts Company, and a single will be awarded Platinum status when they achieve 600,000 units, Gold for 400,000 units and Silver for 200,000 units.
Albums will be awarded Platinum certification when they reach 300,000 unit sales, 100,000 for Gold and 60,000 for Silver.
