Yeah then a 2x platinum in 2020 might be the equivalent of a 4x-5x platinum back in 2012-2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The streaming era is different. A streaming album typically needs at least 20-30 weeks in the Top 10 to achieve 2m on-chart SPS units. Folklore only needed ~15 weeks in the Top 10 to reach 2xP because of strong pure sales. In the physical sales era, some albums spent 20-30 weeks in the Top 10 to reach the diamond status. Oops I Did It Again and Let's Talk About Love are the two obvious examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should get to 3x late next year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
