biblicalmonster Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 KP4 has been released 3 years and a half ago, yet the album isn't even certified gold in the US. Do you think it could reach platinum before its 4th anniversary? Link to post Share on other sites
queenoftheclouds Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 No, it struggles to get streams on Spotify. Even Smile will surpass it in a few months. Link to post Share on other sites

FloridaKilos Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 It doesn't deserve the hate it gets. It was an ALBUM, whew. Link to post Share on other sites

I read somewhere that Witness has only 1.3 B streams while Smile has almost 2 B streams. Only OTTB has around 800 M streams. Link to post Share on other sites

Witness 311k pure sales Chained To The Rhythm - 2x Platinum Bon Appétit - Gold Swish Swish - Platinum It’s a terrible album and it deserves nothing but it’s clearly eligible for Platinum (albeit thanks to ticket redemption bundles).

Do you think it could reach platinum before its 4th anniversary? “Witness” has been Platinum-eligible for over a year. 4 minutes ago, Orsay said: Smile 2B? That user clearly meant “1B”. “Smile” currently has ~900M streams and should hit 1B by late Q3/early Q4 this year. It will definitely have outstreamed “Witness” by, at least, Q1 2022.

bad guy Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 It took some albums 4 years to go platinum. She has time. Link to post Share on other sites
KillingYourCareer Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 It's clearly already eligible. Thank you for your concern, though! Link to post Share on other sites
DiamondHoe Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I wonder why Capitol hasn’t certified it if it’s eligible? No shade, just I know Capitol is a bit of a crummy label, and I thought getting certs on time was one of the few things they were good at Link to post Share on other sites

It's not like RIAA does any quality control over their certification numbers anyway, so many records get certified despite not having reached the thresholds (see Baby and Bad Romance in 2015).

Haven't you seen the YouTube stats? According to RIAA, 150 million views from the US equal to 100k album units. The Witness era has long crossed 3 billion YouTube views. I wish Katy had a fragile ego like certain other girls who always update their certifications just to settle this down Link to post Share on other sites
