UK 21st Century Sales:

I'm unfamiliar with when certifications are released.

For them to get UK 4X Platinum, I believe it is based on shipments.

So, would the certification come when they are close approaching 1.2 mill in the UK or do artists/bands usually get certified after they reach the certification selling point?

Thanks to whomever responds.

So 5 Million by the time Princess Of China is released, 6 Million after and 7 Million in a year from now doesn't sound that bad to me to be honest.

I don't get why everybody's complaining, overall sales are lower now than they were in 2008 so Coldplay's popularity is stable.

I don't think MX will reach 7 million copies, 5 million is attainable i guess. And i really hope i'm wrong but PoC won't be a huge hit as some of you think it will be.

Certifications are basically granted on two criteria;

1) The quantity shipped
2) The record company actually applying for certification.

There are many cases of albums being under-certified due to the second reason.

despite being a pop record coldplay really are selling good without a "real" strong hit. but few minor hits ww , this just to say coldplay is still relevant and very alive in the music industry and I hope will still be and hopefully next album will be a rock album with i hope and i can tell be their best.

Not happy, but let's say it's quite acceptable...

I think MX is quiter over in the US now. Maybe it can hang on in the lower regions for some time now.

by **JeyBeMust** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 9:32 pm

With the WW tour I expect Mylo Xyloto to get the 6 million mark.

It needs a successful single to push it back to the top 20.
You do own the album so which single would qualify for that?
Maybe Princess Of China?

by **Nackar** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 7:20 am

I don't know... I've never really believed in the pushing power of POC, but that might be because I think it's a bit bland myself. It could be an OK hit but if it could really offer the push they need? Not sure...

But yeah, the drops in the US are disappointing. It's quite funny to see how, this era, the UK seems to be the most supportive of the two whereas during VLV the US was more supportive. Although considering the album is now slightly above 1 million in both nations and the UK has a fifth of the inhabitants... doing those little calculations always remind me how much healthier the UK market is :lol:

POC could be a successfull single, but it won't affect on album sales IMO. Can't see Riri fans buying Mylo Xyloto tbh.

I'm really surprised that USA doesn't support them this era. Few discounts(including $0.25 deal), Grammys performance, Good Morning America...damn, I don't get it.
As I said before, I only want them to sell another 500k in UK and US 500k in other countries(5.5mln this year and 6mln mark next year). Tour starts pretty soon, so there's still a for stable sales(especially in US)
