Summer Walker's team needs to certify her stuff.

 

I'm sure all the other album track songs on Over It are eligible for Gold at this point

How many streams does it take to be gold

[MingYouToo]

Summer Walker is clearly just behind SZA. SZA has the makings of a crossover R&B-pop MPG, too bad she hates music

75 million

Oh really

Oh really

Her Over It album is well over 2 million units in the US, so that's likely over 4 Billion streams since it takes 1250(premium) to 3750(free) streams = 1 album sale.

 

Girls Need Love, Playing Games, Come Thru, Body & I'll Kill You certifications all amount to 1.275 billion streams.

 

Her album tracks are very undercertified

You can't literally unless you have Nielson access. You can estimate based on weekly numbers reported though.

 

And HDD posts Year End On Demand streaming numbers for top 50

i feel like summer should be in the top 3

At the bare minimum it should be around 17 million with the 12 other tracks on Over It certified Gold.

 

Plus Body should be Platinum by now, Come Thru 2X Platinum and No Love is eligible for Gold. Girls Need Love is probably 4X Platinum eligible too. I'll Kill You might be 2X too

 

I dont know about her EP stuff(like CPR) but a few songs should probably be eligible on there too.

 

It's possible for her to be around or over 20 million, just depends.

H.E.R & Jhene will likely be tied at #2 in the next couple weeks, so everyone theoretically wins

Facts! I love the selection of R&B ladies we have.

I never hear about Jhene outside the forum so I'm surprised she's smashing 

 

If SZA wasn't so God damn lazy.. She would've doubled those achievements

Jhené is a name in the Black community. She never really cracked the pop side of things.

H.E.R now has 6 multiplatinum songs, with Damage.

Should Jhené be at 35.5 or am I counting something wrong?
