Can someone explain to me how RIAA works? Did his single really sell 10 million units?

150 streams = 1 Song unit

1 Digital Download = 1 Song Unit 

1500 Streams = 1 Album Unit

10 Digital Song Downloads = 1 Album Unit

[alejandreaux]

damn, i knew it was an anthem but i didn’t know it was anywhere CLOSE to being this big numbers wise 

Cudi and MGMT having a Diamond song feels RIGHT. my middle school taste won  

[tartarsauce]

Yes! This is such an achievement. It's well deserved.

There are still only a handful of songs doing it though, and most of them are from the 2010's and 2000s or earlier

And the current music climate does favour singles more

I never expected this. A classic

This being as big as Lollipop
