You might be remembering having SkyPriority as Silver previously; that could be because SkyPriority is a feature of Economy Flex tickets.

Yes, but as I thought I was going to reach Platinum in one year it is 580 XP's for the first year

They did remove some of the SkyPriority perks that were for Silver members on some locations, especially Silver. You no longer get PRIORITY baggage, just allowed to bring your bag to a Priority/Business Class check-in. Also priority boarding zone went from 2 -> 3. Which basically means on European flights you don't get any priority over general economy.
