ariananext Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) As stated in the previous thread about singles, this only includes certifications from 2009 on, which means that projects certified before that year aren't available to see on the organization's (FIMI) archive = artists who released a lot of projects pre-2009 may have non-accurate data. Certifications are updated weekly and they are automatic, which means that when the the threshold is reached, it will be certified. since 2014 these are the thresholds albums - gold: 25k, platinum 50k singles - gold: 35k, platinum: 70k Spoiler Anyways, if Madonna's certifications were up she'd be at the top of the list without any doubt, as she's the most successful international female artist ever, in Italy. thread about singles: here Most certified albums: Lady Gaga - 6 Spoiler The Fame - 4x Platinum A Star Is Born - 2x Platinum Born This Way - Platinum Joanne - Gold Artpop - Gold Chromatica - Gold Rihanna - 6 Spoiler Loud - Platinum Unapologetic - Platinum Good Girl Gone Bad - Gold Anti - Gold Talk That Talk - Gold Rated R - Gold Madonna - 5 Spoiler Celebration - 2x Platinum Sticky & Sweet Tour - Platinum MDNA - Platinum Rebel Heart - Platinum Madame X - Gold Ariana Grande - 5 Spoiler My Everything - Platinum Dangerous Woman - Platinum Sweetener - Gold Thank U, Next - Gold Positions - Gold Adele - 4 Spoiler 21 - 8x Platinum 25 - 5x Platinum 19 - Platinum Live at Royal Albert Hall - Gold Beyoncé - 4 Spoiler I Am...

Delusional Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Italy is one of Gaga’s strongest markets so I’m not surprised 911 was only a single there. Thank you for the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know! I said she has a lot so she will probably still rank pretty high with the post-2009.
