And The Fame has been 9x plat for 84 years But we need them to certificate them first. I mean TF being 3x Plat while it's getting close to 5 million pure is crime.

They’re probably waiting for the diamond cert but surely it has reached it by now with streaming and the Fame sales from Super Bowl, and Enigma? Didn’t The Fame chart when ASIB also was recently released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jude Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I had no idea ASIB is about to outsell ARTPOP in pure sales. Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASIB about to outsell Artpop too in pure sales It really might end up being her second biggest era in the US Just Dance was so huge in the US it’s so interesting when people not from here (I’m assuming) underestimate how huge it was in 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunbleach Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Born this Way's sales are so disappointing. That era was handled poorly if you look past all the heavy promotion and big first-week numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certified 11x Platinum because pre-2016 RIAA certifications were 100:1 streams, it doesn't have 11M+ SPS in the US YT is absolutely included in these numbers, there is 0% chance Bad Romance, or any 2009 song, has 400M domestic streams from Spotify & Apple Music alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we take the 2019 figure of 395M streams and use the 1:100 ratio, that would give us 3.95M units. Add to that the 5.9M pure sales and we would get a total of 9.85M SPS, or just below diamond for RIAA purposes. (I used 1:100 for the entirety of the streams to prove a point, since using 1:150 from 2016-present as per the RIAA would lower the streaming units total even more.) Thus, we know this SPS number can't include YouTube since the RIAA has it at 11x Platinum and YouTube is the only platform that we're questioning whether it is or isn't included in that streaming total provided by Billboard. I'm just as surprised though, who would have though that a 2009 song would do almost 400M US streams without YouTube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
