CERTYFICATIONS SALES IN POLAND

ELTON JOHN

THE LOCKDOWN SESSIONS

UNIVERSAL MUSIC PL

20.07.2022

PLATINUM ALBUM 20'000 copies sold

[Lioha]

Question: the lion king soundtrack is certified DIAMOND by the RIAA.

Does this count towards Elton John's sales?
(in the same way Bodyguard count towards Whitney)

On RIAA site it doesn't count as Elton's record. It is indicated as Soundtrack (in contrast, The Bodiguard is indicated as Whitney Houston).

[SmartIsNewSexy]

Question: the lion king soundtrack is certified DIAMOND by the RIAA.

Does this count towards Elton John's sales?
(in the same way Bodyguard count towards Whitney)

[dwv]

In US RIAA seems to have counted only SALES (physical or digital).
Even if they count a double x 2 albums, a Triple x 3,
we can estimate something like:
Total Sales approx 700.000
300.000 x 2 = 600.000
350.000 x 3 = 1.050.000
50.000 x 1 = 50.000

So it seems near the 2 x plat only for SALES.

If they update with streams, may be at least 6 or 7 x plat, having passed the 3.000.000 sps i suppose for a double / triple album (and also there's a single version).

Maybe we see an update during the stadium tour
