Elton John :: Charts & Sales History

[lucad]

Us Charts / From Billboard, new top 10 album for Elton:
Elton John collects his 20th top 10 album, as his greatest hits package Diamonds vaults from No. 23 to No. 7. The album is basking in the glow of the recent release of Rocketman, a fantastical musical film based on John's life, and earned nearly 32,000 equivalent album units (up 83%). Rocketman was released in U.S. movie theaters on May 31, and features star Taron Egerton performing a bevy of familiar John classic tracks, like “Bennie and the Jets,” “I’m Still Standing” and “Crocodile Rock.” While the soundtrack album to Rocketman consists largely of Egerton’s covers, the original John hits are found on Diamonds.

Only Uk+Usa+ NZ are 1.3 mln

[chartobserver]

No. The 1.3 million units are worldwide sales of the album since its release in 2017. Equivalent sales means a mixture including physical, digital sales and streams. 55k were last weeks sales... But this means a lot concerning to the fact that this album is in some charts over more than a year and a half.

[dwv]

Ok.
Should diamonds be certified 2xplatinum in USA?
It's a double album, now it's only gold

It’s a double and a triple Album so some copies counts x 2, Deluxe counts x 3
