If both had their certifications in order, their gap would be even bigger. If Madonna played her cards right she could even surpass Barbra Streisand. Isn't she like 71 x Platinum overall? Madonna could be at least 69 x Platinum for sure and some others are in doubt. Actually, Mariah's recordings from her time at Sony are indeed under-certified. Carey's lambs (I'm a BIG Mariah fan, but I don't Stan) can better fill you in here.

If the label chooses to have track sales and streams applied towards Greatest Hits certifications, then those track sales and streams are precluded from future inclusion in the original studio album. The RIAA and GR&F will require labels to confirm in writing that no track sales and streams are counted towards both a studio album and a Greatest Hits album, and the RIAA and GR&F may request additional testing of system reports to ensure validity. Due to the complicated nature of monitoring whether a track sale and/or stream has already been considered for album certification, Greatest Hits audits may require significant delays in the certification process.

The thing is that regarding Janet's compilations, a number of the singles on those compilations have a video or radio edit versions that is different from the ones on their parent albums which muddies the whole double counting SPS songs. Like her Icon: Best Of Number Ones album have the single/video version of What Have You Done For Me Lately, All For You, Doesn't Really Matter and the shortened radio edit of Together Again while songs like Nasty & When I Think Of You are the exact same versions on the Control album. Half of the album have single/radio edit versions while half are the exact same versions found on their respective albums, so figuring out how to apply sales and certifications to it looks complicated when these kind of factors are involved.
stevyy Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 MTV Unplugged by Mariah is certified 4xP (as an EP) = 2,000,000 It has sold almost 2,8 million according to soundscan. That 3x Platinum that was listed above, should be certified for a standard album. Therefore, Unplugged is eligible for 6x Platinum (as an EP).
