Squall Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Billie is probably eligible to 2x Platinum by now, I wonder if she can get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInTheDark Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 This thread makes no sense in certifications since they changed them so many times. Gold was 250k and, Platinum is now 100k... Either rank in sales, adjust certification system for current standards or don't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes total sense to rank albums based on certifications as opposed to sales. The change in certification-award-levels reflects the drastic decline of sales.

True Blue is 2xP when Platinum was 500,000. How does it make sense to rank them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AidanUnderYou Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The Fame is 9x gold which is 900k units according to Wikipedia but Funhouse being 4x platinum is 800k units and Confessions being 3x platinum is 600k units. Wouldn’t that make The Fame 3rd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes 0 sense, cause according to the official site it goes: Gold Platinum 3x Gold 2x Platinum 5x Gold 3x Platinum ..... so, your list is totally invalid.

naval23 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Nelly Furtado's "Loose" is 5x platinum and sold over 1M in Germany (#1 album of 2007, #11 album of 2006 and #60 of 2008) - I know she may not be considered a MPG but still worth considering lol Edited March 6, 2021 by naval23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
