From browsing MJ's solo single awards it would appear Earth Song is the only other single to have gone UK platinum.

How many does it take for Gold? Funny that it took 25 years to go gold, but 3 to go platinum.

Great achievement, a superb and beautiful song, really the first he did that made you think about the world we live in and how you are the first proponet of change. It took long enough, but it is a nice battle to have won. Glad to see the tabloids may publish this to counter all the bad press MJ has had lately with the dredging up of old lies.

I am going to listen to it now!

400,000. However, that's now. The RIAA has changed its figures through the years depending on the music industry trends. I'd assume the BPI has done the same through the years.
