List of highest-certified singles in Australia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of highest-certified singles in Australia according to the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). Since 1983, ARIA certifies a single Platinum for shipment of 70,000 copies across Australia.[1] Single figures can include "qualifying streams" since July 2015. Since March 2022 this also includes Official Content streams on YouTube.[2] According to the ARIA rules, a "single" is a product that may include up to five songs, thus including various EPs,[3] which are also listed here.

All singles in this list must have won at least 10× ARIA Platinum Awards (700,000 copies). Prior to 1989, the values of the certifications were different, and a dearth of published data has made it difficult to source earlier release numbers.

The highest certified song in Australia is the 2011 "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye featuring Kimbra, certified 26× Platinum, denoting 1,820,000 equivalent units.[4]
