What's so special about 2004 ?
An award for sales should surely cover
all of them from the original release date + re-issues to date...
2004 is the date from which the BPI have referred to when certifying Can't Help Falling in Love.
So one would imagine that if the OCC figure of 780,000 by 2017 (now 980,000) is correct and it sold 400,000 since 2004 (now 600,000) as certified by the BPI, then that means between its original release and end 2004, it sold just 380,000 which just seems a triffle low.
A more realistic figure would be between 1.75 and 2 million.
