DesiredConsternation Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 So i was checking the RIAA database and apparently the best selling album since 2018 is Garth Brooks' triple live album. Also he has the highest number of diamond albums (7) How is he able to game the system and other artists aren't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waylon4ever Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Country Music Fans are loyal and you’d find some artists have multi-platinum albums and some have outsold Pop stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's where his boost comes from. Even Chartmasters did an article about him but didn't really explain how he manages to rig the RIAA.

I assume that for his 2018 triple album you should just divide the RIAA certification by 3 to get a real number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BnPac Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Probably but if it’s triple disc, it means that you should divide by 3 to get the real amount sold. Basically each disc has a certification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
