So many of these updates are still under by 1-2M units each. Beyoncé isn’t undercertified guys it’s just that RIAA only counts official video streams while Billboard counts unofficial / user-generated video views - hence the difference Same thing happened with Rih last year, BB had Work at over 10M then it got certified 8xP months later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe they dont bother with her since she owns her masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that IASF is probably at like 6.9M units, super close to 7xP Cause, why would the label pay for all these new certifications and not get the correct ones ?

I’m sure Taylor could too but she’s probably avoiding dealing with Big machine. I don’t know how involved labels are in the certification process. I’m sure she will eventually anyways and even if she doesn’t have the plaque, she still got the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMIT Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 what about 4 and Lem? Those are not in the OP. Also, I thought IaSF was higher than 6xP, but that's super impressive either way. The way she had 4 almost consecutive 5xP+ albums is just insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron511 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Omg, finally but like...? Baby Boy, Naughty Girl, Deja Vu, Ring the Alarm or Listen scoring just 1x Plat? That makes no sense. Did her team lose the receipts for all the physical sales and this is just based on streams or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it make sense? https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/beyonce-renaissance-rollout-1235103589/amp/ IASF should be at 8x Platinum. Honestly, it's kinda common for songs to be undercertified. The RIAA tends to take A LOOOOOONG time to process the updates and sometimes the RIAA forgets about them as well. By the time the process is finished, most of the certs are already outdated (unless the songs aren't doing ANY numbers anymore). I remember back in 2019 (when ASIB was coming out) the RIAA made a tweet about "Platinum certified album ARTPOP" and the Gaga twitter bubble was like "Huh? We know it's elligible, but what the f*ck are you talking about, y'all haven't certified it". Turns out, Gaga's label applied for Platinum around the time when she did the Superbowl and the RIAA actually certified it at the same time, they basically just forgot to put in their index. It was like... rotting on some desk because somebody forgot about it. Three days after their tweet, it was in the RIAA index with a note saying "certified on xx.xx.2017" Edited August 10, 2022 by Arthoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
