Let's Dance
Hey hey! Let's Dance by David Bowie also got Gold certification in the UK (bpi.co.uk)
The BPI have updated their data and web site, when we last downloaded their data the song was not listed. At some point in the future, if we are able to, we will download a new set of UK certificates from them and fix the issue you highlight.

Song 33 (This Is Not America), was credited to David Bowie solo in some countries. But in most countries it was credited by David Bowie & The Pat Metheny Group (song 3 in contribution list). Points should be combined I believe.
You are right. It seems to be credited to David Bowie solo in mainly North America (where it was only a minor hit). All entries have been changed to credit "David Bowie & The Pat Metheny Group"
