It's crazy because it only costs $1500 or maybe that's just one of the costs. certainly they can pay the fee. That cheap??? I’m always mad when I see some unknown latin acts certifying their records as latin gold or latin platinum with 30,000 or 60,000 sales. And Shakira has at least 30M uncertified. That’s insane.

No wonder it only happens in the USA Hmmmm, I think it happens everywhere except UK. Shakira has many records not updated in Canada, Germany, Brazil, France, Mexico and so on. She didn’t get a full update in Australia until 2019 (Hips Don’t Lie went up from platinum to 6x platinum). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if that's just one fee or not...on the RIAA site they discuss the process and 1500 might cover one of the fees. THe main thing is it's not 1M dollars so a label doesn't have an excuse to delay certs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FanOfPop Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 OP updated. Cardi B is 8th highest certified female in the US. She is coming for 100M. Also, Christina Aguilera, Jhene Aiko and Bebe Rexha move some spots. 14 hours ago, TurntUp said: Iggy Azalea is at 26.5 certified with her single Started being certified Gold Yeah. She needs 50k more to enter Top 40. But I think either Megan or Dua will get there first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klein Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I am kinda surprise that from her peers, only Adele and Taylor have more certified albums than Rihanna. I always knew her album numbers were wrongfully trashed, but I'm genuinely surprised to see her above artists such as Beyoncé/Carrie Underwood/Lady Gaga/Alicia Keys or P!nk. Although I guess that the certs are not updated for some of those. Her lead with singles is absolutely massive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delirious Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Btw you missed 500k units for Ellie. So its total is 33.5m. I think it’s because you missed “Summit” https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&se=Goulding+#search_section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rihanna extends her lead, Camila Cabello enters Top 30 and Kelly Clarkson re-enters the list (probably not for long since Megan is coming).
