"In The Army Now" was also certified "Silver" in the UK (by BPI.co.uk)
BPI keep tidying up, correcting and updating their data, when we last looked the song was not listed. At some point in the future, if the new BPI web site allows it, we will resample and update our version of the chart.
Thanks for the suggestion
