Question, has there ever been an album that was certified or re-certified from an artist that left the label? Just as Madonna recently left Warner, what are the chances of certifying her catalog and her latest greatest hits album again, if she left them for another label?

@MadgeAngel yes Mariah Carey's #1's & Merry Christmas were both Certified 5x platinum in January 2003 3 years after she had left Columbia Records

I think some of Prince's albums were also certified after his Warner exit like 1999 (in '99) and The Very best of Prince (in '02 and '04)

Found a new one:

“Rock Steady,” which has sold 2.8 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Could be 3xp...
