Madonna :: Charts & Sales History

[Hex]

Hi. In US COADF is close to 2 M? The last time im read than COADF sold 1.85 M there.

I think you are correct. But it was still wayyyy more popular in the rest of the world than America.

Anyone has any idea if Warner ever recertifies her material (if she's back with them) what could be recertified?
SHe has at least like 6 or 7 Platinum awards to get from albums alone.
And plenty of singles even pre-soundscan that were never properly certified. And probably her video releases as well.
Anyone knows the list? And could you post it please?

The Immaculate - 12xP

Ray Of Light - 5xP
Like A Prayer - 5xP
COADF - 2xP
Hard Candy - 1xP

Also with streaming LAV could be eligible for 11xP i think

What you are posting are fan-estimated numbers. I wish they could happen.

From a SoundScan report 2 1/2 years ago:

Ray of Light

ALBUM SALES: 3.896,998
ALBUMS W/TEA 3,990,647
ALBUMS W/TEA W/SEA ON-DEMAND AUDIO 4,005,653
ALBUMS W/TEA W/SEA ON-DEMAND 4,013,816 4xP - not near 5xP
STREAMING ON-DEMAND 34,753,662

TIC was eligible for 11xP in 2009. It scanned 1 million copies between 2001-2009. It certainly hasn't scanned 1 million since then.

With BMG Club sales ROL sold 4.35 million and we don't know the Columbia House sales.RIAA do count club sales

[madboy1]

With BMG Club sales ROL sold 4.35 million and we don't know the Columbia House sales.RIAA do count club sales

Bmg + columbia + streaming: 5P, who knows?

[AndiIversen]

With BMG Club sales ROL sold 4.35 million and we don't know the Columbia House sales.RIAA do count club sales

She sold 460k at BMG only as of 2001 maybe a bit more afterwards( but not much since club record companies started to decline then) and yeah it was also available at Columbia (and it was a bigger club too so it probably sold more) and others too, so that could push it up to 5M maybe even more with streaming

[thebigham]

When ROL is certified 5xP, then I'll believe it.

The other problem is that I have no faith in Madonna's team to get the correct certifications. She hasn't had a catalog album certified since 2005!

WBR also doesn't certify very many of their albums/singles with the RIAA. They have been certifying Dua Lipa, but that's probably Dua's management asking for new certs.

I'm just hoping all these new album/single certs from Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey. Michael Jackson, Celine Dion and Gwen Stefani will get Madonna's team to notice!

[AndiIversen]

TIC scanned 1.356.891 copies from Oct '01 to March '13 btw

I think the same even if it's eligible with streams they would go with pure sales.Her team is learning tooo late

Billboard published something about TIC being elligible for 2 more platinum a year ago or so.

Yes im read the same thing.

Ill remember in 2004 according to Sounscand, TIC sold in that year 80 K only in US il remember too in UK sold 80 K too. All in 2004.

[thebigham]

Show me the Billboard article where they say that TIC should be re-certified 2xP. Billboard did not do a sales article for Madonna when MX was released.

[thebigham]

This was the last article in Dec. 2016.

www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7617649/ask-billboard-madonnas-career-album-sales

Looking at Madonna's digital song sales (since Nielsen began tracking downloads in 2003),

2008's "4 Minutes," featuring Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, leads with 3.1 million sold.

She boasts two other million-selling downloads:

2005's "Hung Up" (1.4 million) and her
1989 classic "Like a Prayer" (1.1 million).

As for Madonna's career U.S. album sales since Nielsen Music began tracking retail in 1991 (through the week ending Dec. 8, 2016), here are her 10 best sellers:

5,992,000, The Immaculate Collection (1990);
3,891,000, Ray of Light (1998);
2,934,000, Music (2000);
2,336,000, Bedtime Stories (1994);
2,102,000, Something to Remember (1995)
2,025,000, Evita (soundtrack) (1996);
1,905,000, Erotica (1992);
1,734,000, Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005);
1,397,000, GHV2: Greatest Hits Volume 2 (2001);
751,000, Hard Candy (2008)

Meanwhile, Madonna's most recent LP, 2015's Rebel Heart, has sold 238,000.

Her career album sales in the Nielsen era stand at 28.5 million, making her the 34th-best-selling album artist in that 25-year-plus span.

Show me the Billboard article where they say that TIC should be re-certified 2xP. Billboard did not do a sales article for Madonna when MX was released.

Almost sure it was on chartbeat and they said TIC sold almost 2 million copies according to soundscan/nielsen since it was certified last time so that 2xP platinum certification should be close. Will look it up for you.
