Platinum singles

[WA Toffee]

Out of the 137 singles to go platinum in the UK, some of the biggest bands in the world such as U2, Led Zepellin, Rolling Stones, Guns n Roses, REM have never had a single go platinum.

Bob the Builder and the teletubbies have.

Who bought singles in the days before itunes? it's an odd concept to spend 2 or 3 pound on 1 song.
