I was thinking the same, there’s no way it’s just double Plat.

OT: 2x Diamond in Brazil

Is actually already elegilable for X3 Platinum I dont get why they certified this X2 only , anyway maybe when they decide to update Future Nostalgia album, Break My Heart & Physical 

 

 

Those Global certifications

Certifications are usually label initiated. Some artists have sold millions of a certain song or album but aren’t certified even gold.

Very true both Sam & Adele are under certified af!!

 

OT: Queen! 

i genuinely thought it would be over 3x platinum by now, it feels so huge 

 

still impressive and deserved tho, it’s one the biggest pop hits of the year 

Labels undercertifying as always 

 

It's at ~3.1M excluding video streams, so actually even higher

It has to be eligible for at least 3x Adore You has been 2x for a month now

It's definitely eligible for 3x plat but slay nonetheless

It sold 3.5M in the US, 500k/month consistently since February.

 

5x platinum this year easily.
