Auburn Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Janet is missing from what I can see, Rhythm Nation and janet.'s undercertifications alone would put her on the list

Some of the album numbers in the OP already count SPS (including some of Rih's), I'm just saying Rih's haven't been updated by her label (except for GGGB)

DemDam92 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Impressed by Shakira. @Mariah would be #3. All I Want and likes everything from the 90s is undercertificated.

Timber Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 The RIAA is the most ridiculous thing in music people accept as fact. 1. They count shipments instead of sales 2. Youtube = Paid Streaming 3. Certifications aren't automatic, some of the biggest musicians don't pay for their certifactions which makes them appear much smaller than they actually are. The inconsistencies are way too much. I think people like to use because the word gold, platinum, and diamond are attractive.

I think she's about to make a LARGE SPLASH the day before they announce RIAAs most certified artist of the decade. DC is coming too. This is legit a pipe dream. They just don't seem to care about updating her certifications.

So if your favorite is lower than you expected than it's not my fault that she's undercertified. I'm pretty sure I forget some females so feel free to post them and I'll add them to the list. 1. RIHANNA: 155,55 million records sold (142 million singles + 13,5 million albums + 0,05 million videos) The variance between albums and singles. 2. TAYLOR SWIFT: 154 million records sold (112,5 million singles + 41,5 million albums) more or less a typical 50/50 or 40/60 ratio 3. KATY PERRY: 106 million records sold (100 million singles + 6 million albums) OMG. I thought she was higher than this 4. MARIAH CAREY: 90,3 million records sold (24 million singles + 66 million albums + 0,3 million videos) legend 5. MADONNA: 84,15 million records sold (18,5 million singles + 64,5 million albums + 1,15 million videos) legend 6. NICKI MINAJ: 82 million records sold (74,5 million singles + 7,5 million albums) Better than Katy's ratio 7. WHITNEY HOUSTON: 75,7 million records sold (17 million singles + 58,5 million albums + 0,2 million videos) legend 9. ADELE: 60,5 million records sold (31,5 million singles + 28 million albums + 1 million videos) A true legend 13. BRITNEY SPEARS: 44,4 million records sold (9 million singles + 34 million albums + 1,4 million videos) has about 30M uncertified songs + eligible for 37-43M but slay at being an album seller 14. JANET JACKSON: 40,3 million records sold (13,5 million singles + 26 million albums + 0,8 million videos) I still don't get how she is so far away from Madonna/whitney and mariah 18. CHRISTINA AGUILERA: 33,9 million records sold (18,5 million singles + 15,1 million albums + 0,3 million videos) I really don't get how she can debut in 1999 of all years and have such mid 2000s type stats 19. MILEY CYRUS: 33 million records sold (24 million singles + 9 million albums) 21. P!NK: 32,5 million records sold (14,5 million singles + 17 million albums + 1 million videos) Thought she sold more singles. 29. JENNIFER LOPEZ: 19,4 million records sold (8 million singles + 11 million albums + 0,4 million videos) thought she sold more singles

Platinum has never been about selling 1M rather than having a demand to have distributors ship 1M platinum plus was used to show 1M+ actual sales 2. ??? paid streaming. 3. that's the label/artist fault. Not RIAA. There was a time where people would make things up but then RIAA and soundscan help keep things legit. My only gripe is that they don't count it if someone purchases multiple albums on one receipt. Like back in the 00s the boyband crazy stans buy 5 albums on one receipt. I don't get why that should count 1. If someone is crazy enough to buy the same thing 5 times than it should count. Never understood that logic but other than that it's legit. 44 minutes ago, Rainsford said: They don't care for certifications. I feel Beyonce and Britney's team are going to pull a Pink Pink got all her stuff upgraded because this era is a sign of well... Britney's team are going to use it to upgrade this year or next for promoting her 10 albums/20 years era. Beyonce is probably going to do it after her lion king sdtk era. 1 hour ago, Auburn said: Janet is missing from what I can see, Rhythm Nation and janet.'s undercertifications alone would put her on the list I have a feeling her team is going to wait until she passes to update her certs. They should do it next era tbh.
