Thank you  the way she's unstoppable and still in her prime 

[simmnfierzig]

Wtf is this 

Girl. Way are they so low across the board

 

And she certainly has more platinum eligible songs

[Protocol]

The fact that Big Machine will NEVER certify 1989 Diamond

[byzantium]

It’s a shame no one will ever get 1989 certified diamond.  It’s been eligible for years now.

But her stans were claiming these albums were all smash albums

I don’t know if is Taylor or Republic but not certificate the albums at the real units for saving a bunch of dollars is shame, but of course male artist get update every time that they score a gold cert

They are 4X, 3X (nearing 4X real fast) and 2X Platinum eligible respectively. folklore is top 20 on BB200, Lover top 40. What's your point?

Firstly they are undercertified, and secondly in what world are multi-platinum LPs not smashes? Aren't you the one always going around saying Chromatica was a success because it sold 1.1M units or something?

2x Platinum is not a "smash" album

 

Are you trying to say Taylor's label does not have money to certify her stuff?

If a 2X platinum LP in 2 years is not a smash, then I fear Chromatica is a BOMB, since it's never going to get there.

 

I never said that, I just said that the LPs are clearly undercertified. For instance, you can add up Nielsen's numbers from 2020 and 2021 and that alone would take Folklore to over 3M, without taking into account the 2022 numbers.

[Green]

Why did they certify Folklore only 2x Platinum when it's eligible for 3x Platinum at least 

 

Something like that happened with Planet Her. It was certified only Platinum when it was eligible for 2x Platinum.

[Green]

I understand the RIAA doesn't count user generated streams but the difference between 3.7 million (Folklore) and a 2x Platinum certification is big  It's obviously undercertified

Everyone is confused what happened here. It really makes no sense, but in reality the album is very close to 4x platinum

RIAA = official source. Everything else estimates 

 

Billboard counts user generated videos so maybe that gave you guys a false hope, folklore is nowhere near 3.7m units
