Rising Brit duo Good Neighbours have notched the first platinum cert for a single released by an alternative band in the calendar year.

The Capitol/Polydor offering “Home,” which dropped 1/17, was teased on TikTok for several months prior to its official release. Bandmates Oli Fox and Scott Verrill also struck platinum in Australia and gold in New Zealand with the single.

“Home," which has gone Top 10 at Rock and Top 20 at Alternative in the U.S., is also the most-streamed debut single globally from a new artist in 2024.

HITS can’t help wondering why the folks next door keep reminding us that good fences make good neighbours.
