Could you do a breakdown for me please? I meant where was Aaliyah’s placement in general on the list considering per RIAA and Billboard, she sold more pure albums than Monica despite the fact Monica’s team over-shipped and over-certified her albums/records.
FanOfPop Posted August 23, 2018 Author Posted August 23, 2018 Updated with the new certifications. Nicki Minaj and Carrie Underwood are getting closer to Top 3 (for Nicki) and Top 10 respectively (for Carrie). Kesha is moving one spot and is closer to Top 30 while surpassing Demi Lovato (who also got one certification but fell one spot). Halsey moves two spots thanks to "Him & I" being re-certified. Lastly, Alessia Cara is the newest addition to the list - debuting at #55 with 15,5 million records sold.
Body Talk Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 The thing is, with TEA + SEA now counting in album certifications newer acts and acts that have re-certified are essentially double dipping...
lipes Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Colbie Caillat - 9 million Tove Lo - 8 million Kelsea Ballerini - 4.5 million just in case you want more entries. and wow, I thought Nelly Furtado had a lot more certifications
FanOfPop Posted September 7, 2018 Author Posted September 7, 2018 New update. Nicki Minaj and Kehlani are non-movers. Nicki is sitting comfortably at #4 and is nearing the gap not only for 100M certified records but is also getting closer to Katy who is #3. As for Kehalni - she is still basically at the bottom of the list. Movers: - Selena Gomez moves to #17 thanks to certification of "Back To You" surpassing Janet Jackson and also 40M records - Camila Cabello is moving two spots surpassing Carly Rae Jepsen and Ciara
SelenaGomez<3 Posted September 7, 2018 Posted September 7, 2018 MAIN POP Girl 17. SELENA GOMEZ: 40,5 million records sold (38 million singles + 2,5 million albums) ( + 1)

FanOfPop Posted September 17, 2018 Author Posted September 17, 2018 Rihanna and Sia remain stable thanks to certifications of a songs they are featured on. On the other hand, Christina Aguilera moves to Top 20 thanks to re-certification of "Moves Like Jagger" - she's now #19. The biggest jump goes to Halsey also thanks to certifications of a song which is not hers - "Closer" being certified Diamond enables Halsey move to #30 spot for now.

For starters, she’d increase her album certs from 2,5M to probably 6,5M and singles well, LYLALS and C&GI are close to (if not eligible for) 6x Plat and 5x Plat respectively. A couple of her singles 4x Plat too.

FanOfPop Posted October 13, 2018 Author Posted October 13, 2018 Huge update with a lot of movements. First of all, Cardi B managed to move 13 spots above and is now #25 on overall list thanks to almost her whole album being certified. Also, what's notable is Bebe Rexha's movements: + 7 spots right at #45 for now. Both Shakira and Becky G were certified as well (Latin) but went lower due to Miranda Lambert and Ellie Goulding entering the list (also due to their updated certifications). Ella Mai also debuted but is at the last spot. As for non-movers, Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé stay stable inside Top 5 and Top 20 respectively.

peterstyles13 Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 Album certifications are worth 10 times more than single certifications, so why are we combining them as if they're worth the same?

And now when she is with Atlantic they couldn't care less. 3 hours ago, peterstyles13 said: Album certifications are worth 10 times more than single certifications, so why are we combining them as if they're worth the same? Because they're both certifications by RIAA. I decided to create this thread and in my opinion it's reasonable to have both singles and albums included. I don't see nothing wrong.

Just because they're both forms of RIAA certifications, it doesn't mean they are worth the same thing and should be included. They are separated on RIAA's website for a reason. A platinum album certification is worth ~$10,000,000 of pure album sales or 1.5 billion streams (1 album unit = 1500 streams) A platinum single certification is worth ~$1,000,000 of pure single sales or 150M streams (1 single unit = 150 streams) Album certifications are mathematically worth 10 times more than single certifications. Combining them as if they're equal makes no sense. Edited October 14, 2018 by peterstyles13
