Yes, IFPI never updates Catalog titles.

BS, STR and GHV2 could be candidates.

Thanks, davidilac!

Celine is the #1 IFPI female . Over 50xP.

Madonna IFPI

Bedtime Stories 1 2
STR 2 3
Ray of Light 5 6 7
Evita 2
Music 3 4 5
GHV2 2
American Life 1
Hard Candy 1

A few could be re-certified

Also:
Celebration 1
Confessions on a dance floor 4

ROL could be re-certified to 8x Platinum, but other than that I don't see which other album could be re-certified.

As far as I know IFPI rarely updates certs for old albums anyway.

I think confessions was her REAL comeback in Europe after the Erotica and following eras.
She was everywhere in 2005-2006 and the four singles are, at least in Europe, extreme airplay hits. You still hear Jump, Sorry on radio from time to time... not to mention Hung Up which is one of her all time biggest songs

Nope, "Ray of light" was her massive comeback in Europe (and everywhere of course), but ROL sold like 8million units in Europe alone. It was freaking huge.

[MrDiva]

In late 05 ,sales were already in decline due to the digital era. Even so,it has sold ,roughly ,only 1 million copies less than Music. An album released on the fourth quarter as well but during the highest year of CD sales.

The most impressive thing about "Confessions" was its huge international success. It may be an ever bigger international success than "Music". Remember that "Music" sold more than 3million units in US while "Confessions" sold 1,7million there.

Kinda hoped for 1m tbh
But this is only for 2015, album sold ~50k in US in 2016, so it's safe to say 1m ww

[Wayne]

Some people kept saying 900k was too much/inflated yet here we are

Well it is a shipments figure so whoever said it, if they were referring to retail sales then they were possibly right.

[NoAngel]

nympho is not "some people", though

Let us not forget that Jump is featured in The Devil Wears Prada film #truehit I always get excited when I hear it.

[MrLeonix]

I think Jump is a way more known song than Get Together

They performed very similar" but "Get together" seemed to perform slightly better on bigger markets than "Jump", it also sold slightly more units, plus its the only Grammy nominated single from "Confessions".

"Jump" was the least impactful song on "Confessions" overall, however thats understandable as it was a 4th, probably if it had been the 3rd single it would've been way bigger than "Get together" as they performed similarly in the way they were released.
