I got a headache tonight.

Can someone go over to the RIAA website and try to figure out Elton's new single certifications?

The Tiny Dancer digital single has been certified Platinum?

The SATWYLT digital single has been certiifed 2xp?

The SATWYLT physical single has been certified 11xp?

The new RIAA databse sucks! It no longer distinguishes between physical and digital singles.

Check out this website. It´s about charts statistics of 20 different album and singles charts. The only negative aspect is that the data only seizes information of the last 10 years and that German Charts are missing.

In the link for instance you can see the graph of his album Number Ones in Ireland (this week down to # 72):

Rocket MaN compilation has to be certified PLAT in Canada, Australia (i don't know about ireland) and i think in Europe Too.
In UsA it'll be PLAT probably in 2012

[chartobserver]

In Ireland it has been certified already

Here an overview


Australia ARIA Gold

Brazil ABPD Gold

Ireland IRMA Platinum (maybe double platinum now)

New Zealand RIANZ Platinum

Norway IFPI Platinum

Sweden IFPI Gold

United Kingdom BPI Platinum

United States RIAA Gold

Denmark IFPI Platinum

Canada CRIA Gold (platinum now)

I don´t think, that sales in Europe are near the million level.

[lucad]

Think in Europe there's a lot of missed certification, think of Belgium, Italy; Switzerland, and i think more than 150k were sold in germany. It's elton best catalogue seller in these 4 years

[chartobserver]

In Belgium you have gold fur sure, but these little countries have rediculous amounts of sales. In the big charts in France, Germany, Italy or Spain there once was a very low success and 150k for Germany is a far too big estimation. Greatest Hits 1970-2002 was had been there in the charts longer and higher and got Gold 2 years later. Now record sales halved. I bet that there are less than 100k sold in Germany. Besides: 100k is Gold.

[lucad]

Thank iu, i know. But start from 400K in uk and i think you're near. It's all catalog sales.
