Reverse Warholian Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Halsey's 2017 sophomore album hopeless fountain kingdom was just certified 2xPlatinum by the RIAA this week for selling over 2M units in the US This marks the 'So Good' viral vixen's second (well, technically third since Manic has been 2x eligible for many months now) multi-platinum album in her career, following in the footsteps of 2015's cult smasha Badlands. HFK charted for 118 weeks on the Billboard 200, spawned two hit singles 'Now or Never' and 'Bad at Love', plus flop third single 'Alone' which are sitting at 3x, 6x, and 1xPlatinum respectively. Also noteworthy is the IMPRESSIVE performance of deep cut 'Sorry' which is certified 2xPlatinum. Surprised? Very MPG behavior if you ask moi! Not many new gen girlies have multiple multi-platinum albums to their credit. What do we make of this achievement? @lillavend3r @Bussea @Ricky Wilson @Ampersand13 @Bloodflowers. @stevenisFADING @Freakshowvato @Villanelle @K$Ellie @Lady Claire @Supervillain @orange22 @***** of Babylon @FallingFromCloud9 @Slate @The Witch @original_lifeline @Michael196 @Ger-55 @MB26 @Marry Illusion Glory @wesleywalrus @TalkThatRihanna Edited June 3, 2022 by Reverse Warholian

Ricky Wilson Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 Oh wow And I was told I was delusional for saying she became a MPG recently, yet she's one of the VERY select girls from the new gen to have a multiplat album + solo (and featured multiweek #1) sounds like MPG behaviour to me

I guess they told you right.

Let alone having smash hits I didn't mention anything about the newer girls, just denying your MPG claims about Halsey It took her several years of streaming to reach 2x platinum, it's not like it was effortless. Top-selling albums of 2017 in the US: Halsey (HFK) - 629,000 units Demi Lovato (TMYLM) - 598,000 units Katy Perry (Witness) - 530,000 units She was doing slightly better than other girls who were "flopping", that's hardly MPG behavior.

Are TMYLM and Witness 2x plat yet? Exactly Halsey ended up being the most profitable girl out of her peers and that's that on that

Halsey wasn’t an established act that would sell most of their units in the first months like Katy though, and TMYLM was Demi at their peak. - Their second best album (behind IICHLIWP) did that

Those 2017 receipts are pointless out of context like that. It ain't about the race either, it's a marathon. I will not tolerate anymore slander of her 4th best alberm! @TalkThatRihanna
