I'm not sure if we have a reliable source of pure sales, at least not worldwide pure sales.

 

The UWC/chartdata worldwide sales numbers appear to be based on reported sales/streaming and estimates.

https://chartdata.wordpress.com/faq/

 

US sales are available and the weekly Top 200 Albums, Top Album Sales and YTD threads on ukmix are a good source.

Outside of that there isn't much that we can use with any confidence.

 

Edit: for US singles we have: http://kworb.net/cc/ustotals.html

 

Lorde - Tennis Court  — 670,000

Lorde - Yellow Flicker Beat — 400,000

Lorde - Green Light  — 240,000

 

Tennis Court should be gold in the US on pure sales alone, add US streaming and it would probably qualify for platinum. Yellow Flicker Beat has a video and spotify streams and must be eligible for gold. Green Light appears to have enough US streams for gold and might be getting close to platinum.

Spoiler

Tennis Court

1,000,000 - 670,000 = 330,000 units = 49.5 m US streams needed for platinum

Yellow Flicker Beat

500,000 - 400,000 = 100,000 units = 15 m US streams for gold

Glory and Gore

500,000 - 360,000 = 140,000 units = 21 m US streams for gold

Green Light 

500,000 - 240,000 = 260,000 units = 39 m US streams for gold

1,000,000 - 240,000 = 760,000 units = 114 m US streams for platinum
