OMG …. That 12xplat for LAV in USA it would be amazing.

Afterall it’s still her most iconic album over there.

[MadNuno]

My post clearly says it is not eligible for Platinum!

Shipments are around 850k. Not enough for Platinum.

But that's PURE SALES right?

As I said the vinyl re-issue would help it to become Platinum.
Must be close.

Is just "Celebration" and "Revolver" streaming and tracks equivalent that count for this in US or can Warner choose what other tracks may count as well?

[BritneyMadonnastan]

^No, it doesn't work like that. The 2.2 million includes physical sales since 1993. You are double counting albums.

Oh sorry

10.5M pure sales + Like a Virgin album Sales Plus Streaming (SPS): 2,203,000 = 12.703M ?

[thebigham]

with the 882k +sold at the BMG Music club only -and we don't know how many at Columbia MC- 12xP sounds like a strong possibility

Most of these were probably counted in the May 1998 10xP certification.

My friend was working with a label to get an album updated with the RIAA. The label said the album was not eligible. My friend brought up record club sales. This major label said the record club sales figures were lies! They had no record of them.

So don't expect record club sales to help with an album's certification.

USA updates:

Like a Virgin album Sales Plus Streaming (SPS): 2,203,000

This is for 1993-today SPS sales.

This number makes a case for 11x Platinum for the Like A Virgin album! And maybe 12x Platinum?

I find it strange too...

Clearly she is bigger than Madonna in US Spotify...

I wonder if Madonna is bigger than Mariah in US other streaming platforms since she is always promoting Apple Music instead.

after Christmas, Madonna was always higher than Mariah !

[Forreal]

[thebigham]

Thanks!
It would be great if she have another US Platinum album!

If it's not already platinum it can't be that far!

If they decide to re-issue this vinyl (the 4 vinyls version) it will certainly help a bit.

Celebration album update:

It's probably not eligible for Platinum due to the 1cd version:

100k of the 1cd version = 100k.
369k of the 2cd version = 738k

= 838k - certified Gold

I don't have the SPS for Celebration.

UnapologeticKenny Thank you for everything. Take your time! You are the best poster in here!

“Like a Prayer” reaches 250.000.000 views on YouTube !!!!!!

Celebration album update:

Pure album sales:

May 2018: 457,000

May 2023: 469,000

Only 12,000 copies in 5 years

This was released as a 1 cd album and a 2cd album in the USA.

It's probably not eligible for Platinum due to the 1cd version:

100k of the 1cd version = 100k.
369k of the 2cd version = 738k

Were there any vinyl sales?

[cindycgy]

It’d be nice to see weekly worldwide pure sales of legacy female artists. I don’t think this data is available however. Would love to see how Madonna performs from pure sales alone. I still remember 15-20 years ago, JRKing and BigHam used to post this on a weekly basis on Madonna’s fansites

[music126]

No weekly update this week. My data got all f**ked up and now I have to try to fix it all over again... and atm, I don't feel like doing this, so...

wowsignal14 You can hold the daily e-mails for now, I'm not gonna be able to do anything this week anyways. Thanks again.

Bye for now.

If it's not trouble moving forward, weekly would be great. Understand that daily could be difficult. But whatever is less stressful for you. You are greatly missed already.
