Thank you. Rocket man digital singles in US is also very near Plat , AND rocket man compilation has passed the 1 million mark. Let's wait for platinum . The album also has to be' certified plat in Australia AND Canada for sure

[thebigham]

^I'm pissed. they should be certifying *albums* not old singles.

[lucad]

I think there are problems between elton and universal group, that reach the highest point with "the captain & the kid" in 2006 that Was important for elton but not well-promoted. It's 12 years that elton wants to do records artistically high while Universal want him to do Christmas album AND things like that. This is why in my opinion universal lost some kind of interest for elton AND for his certifications. Well, rocket man best of is undercertified in Many countries. This not happen for rod xmas album..

[chartobserver]

First and foremost I do not understand, why they just certify one out of five oder eight singles. There are other digital singles selling more than 500k times.

Elton is really GLOBAL. Now it's also a low period, interesting t see this positions when the new album is out. The title is no more THE DIVING BOARD, but it's .. "VOYEUR" :-0. Another T BONE BURNETT Album following THE UNION; wih a 3-piece straight rock band,

1974 2003 Greatest Hits - 16,000,000 - 4,623,000 may 2006 - 681 weeks - 101 weeks at Number One

This is what annoys me. I would've figured with certification the album would have passed 6-7 million copies (because SS era was 17 years after release).

[lucad]

Thank you.
the original 1974 GREATEST HITS has slowed down in sales because in 2002 Universal published the double GREATEST HITS 1970/2002 and in 2007 the single ROCKET MAN - Number Ones compilation, but it surely passed the 5 MILLION mark from 2000 (year that Soundscan starts to track the sales). But there was a change of label so in 1995 GREATEST HITS was re-released, and Soundscan now tracks the sales from 1995, this is why you don't have NOW a sum of UPDATED soundscan sales that brings the total over 5 millions (it miss 1990/1995 period).
