Ms. Togekiss Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 He really took advantage of the double album rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UseYourIllusion2002 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Just now, Ms. Togekiss said: He really took advantage of the double album rule Yeah his sales are so fraudulent due to all his double albums (which most are just the same recycled live songs) and all of his Walmart box sets. It's incredible that that Triple Live album is 7x platinum, when it peaked at #113 on the Billboard 200 in 2019. It probably hasn't even sold 200,000 pure copies and his music isn't even available on Apple Music or Spotify, just his own streaming company called "Ghost", which is probably extremely fraudulent. At most due to the RIAA double album rule, it should be at like Gold. Not 7x platinum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 9 diamond albums (more than anyone else ever) so yeah....He's a huge country star. Especially in the 90's. Apparently some of those sales are kinda fraudulent though (idk the circumstances).... I only know like one song, but I don't listen to country music so yuh Edited November 15, 2023 by blackoutbaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s one of the best selling artists in US history. And even though he does country he’s rather progressive politically. He was a big support of gay rights back in the 90s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
family.guy123 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Double album literally means you’re buying double the product. It’s two albums in one. It’s two albums. There are two discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is Taylor is dominating all metrics and deserves her flowers. Garth Brooks can't even make it into the top 100 anymore, yet his album is certified 7x platinum.

Cloröx Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 7xPlatinum? Literally how? The biggest fraud since FEFE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 His 90s/00s certifications are fine because everything sold like crazy during those days (after all he's still the best selling album artist of the Soundscan era) But I don't get Triple Live's 7x Platinum certification (an album released in 2018). Even if it was counted as a double album I really doubt he sold 3.5 million pure album sales in 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
