The original The Kids from Fame album has been officially certified Triple Platinum in the UK.

 When the album was released in 1982, the UK did not yet issue multi-platinum certifications—a system that was only formally introduced in 1987.  Though music magazines frequently used the term informally. For instance, the March 12th, 1983 issue of Record Mirror noted that the album had reached 1.2 million UK sales, qualifying it for Quadruple Platinum status.

When official multi-platinum classifications took effect in 1987, many record labels applied to have older titles re-certified. However, Fame was no longer airing on UK television, and album releases for the franchise had ended four years earlier. As a result, BBC/RCA Records likely saw little commercial benefit in updating the classification, leaving the album officially designated as single Platinum for decades.

 Songwriter Ethan Hurt, who co-wrote "Be My Music" with Lee Curreri, set out to correct this oversight. Thanks to his efforts, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) officially reclassified the album on June 26th. Because full historical sales data was no longer complete, the BPI chose to err on the side of caution and awarded a Triple Platinum certification—even though 1982–1983 sales numbers suggested Quadruple Platinum status.

 A huge thanks to Ethan for doing the heavy lifting to make this historical correction happen, and for sharing a look at his new presentation disc!

Debbie Allen recently posted on being a HIV Ambassador.

"For me, HIV is personal. I became an advocate to honor the people I love, my family and friends who have lived and are living with HIV.

Standing beside them for so many years is exactly why I’m working with Merck  on Your Hive of Whole Health. I'm in awe of where the HIV community is today. Living with HIV now is about truly living and caring for your whole self: your body, your mind, your spirit, and the people who hold you up. Everybody deserves that kind of support.

Come take your place in the Hive:"
