As if OOTB and PRISM were so far from 2 millions  

Almost doesn't  count . Judging by rate  these albums are selling, it's gonna take some time. Plus she's  not a strong catalog seller.

 

Massive!!! When will CTTR?

 

Justice for Birthday though. That masterpiece deserves to be a multiplatinum hit. I still can't move on how it undeperform

 

Well, at least her chart flops are RIAA certified platinums and gold. Not everyone has that.

impressive single sales, embarrassing album sales.

 

All of these from TD and its repackage and the album still only sold 3m.

You are calling her a singles artist but you are expecting her to sell more albums?

Roar needs 600M streams. It should definitely be there already

Yikes! @ her album sales. With all those hit singles, she's only managed to scan one multi-platinum album. 

Do you guys not know how RIAA works?

One Of The Boys - 1.71M album sales = 1.85M shipments
I Kissed A Girl - 4.7M digital single sales = 470k album sales
Hot N' Cold - 5.7M digital single sales = 570k album sales
Waking Up In Vegas - 2.3M digital single sales = 230k album sales
Thinking Of You - 1.1M digital single sales = 110k album sales

That's 3.23M album sales per RIAA's methods and it doesn't include her streaming. OOTB should be approaching 4x Platinum.

PRISM - 1.7M album sales = 1.85M shipments
Roar - 6.4M digital single sales = 640k album sales
Unconditionally - 1.3M digital single sales = 130k album sales
Dark Horse - 6.3M digital single sales = 630k album sales
Birthday - 750k digital single sales = 75k album sales
This Is How We Do - 750k digital single sales = 75k album sales

That's 3.4M album sales per RIAA's methods and it's already eligible for 4x Platinum in the U.S. (Roar and Dark Horse are Diamond with streams, Unconditionally is past 2x Platinum, both Birthday and This Is How We Shouldn't are past Platinum).

Keyword: Scan

No where in my comment did I mention anything about shippments (RIAA) or streaming. Like I said, she's  been only able to scan one multi-platinum album in pure sales. You know Soundscan still exist and matters.

can't wait for RIAA to update Katy's certifications

I always found her album sales underwhelming compared to her singles and promotions.

Singles sales are really impressive, but her albums sales are underwhelming.

Poor CTTR  

2.8 million, The One That Got Away

2.3 million, Waking Up In Vegas

1.3 million, Unconditionally 

1.1 million, Thinking of You

 

 

Not her four best singles being at the bottom of this list

So, only one album is multi-platinum is what you're saying?

"Platinum" is run solely by the RIAA but it's cute to see you girls trying so hard to backtrack 

 

She'll have two 4x Platinum albums and an 8x Platinum album once she gets around to certifying her past hits. For those of you unable to keep up: that's 3 multi-Platinum albums.
