Thank you so much! Believe has done 1.8M physical sales according to Billboard: https://books.google.com/books?id=1A...the%22&f=false So it's already at 3.7M consumption units. Should hopefully reach 4 million in a couple of years.

Can you please explain what the 1.937 million sales are, is it downloads and streaming? As LostAvenger said it sold 1.8 million physical sales up to 2000.

[thebigham]

^Sales Plus Streaming:

digital single sales + streaming + video views

Physical singles are not included in the SPS figure.

[alfiebot]

Awesome! It will definitely be eligible for 4xPlatinum this year, especially if the physical sales are closer to 2 million!

[thebigham]

From the Believe album:

Strong Enough SPS: 352,000

Digital song sales: 174,000

[StephenN17]

Thanks Mr. Bigham for the info!!!

Yup, it's definitely eligible for Gold by the RIAA, would be so awesome if Warner would certify it.

[StephenN17]

Yup, it's definitely eligible for Gold by the RIAA, would be so awesome if Warner would certify it.

Do labels usually combine older physical sales with downloads/streaming, so they could certify it as Gold? If so they could do the same with other songs like I Found Someone, Turn Back Time etc.

They combine them in the UK, so I guess they could unless there's a specific rule or something. Too bad that more countries don't have the automatic certification system like BPI does.

Independent's the 16 best and worst pop stars turned actors

The Best: Cher

Cher is the ultimate pop star turned actor, incapable of not delivering in spades. Moonstruck got her an Oscar — playing a drifting widow finding unexpected new love — but she’s similarly brilliant as a flamboyant single mother in 1990’s Mermaids, as a nuclear power plant worker in Silkwood, and as one of the Witches of Eastwick. It’s a travesty she didn’t make more movies in the wake of her Academy Award.

Cher's 'Love Hurts' album has just surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify!

[thebigham]

Surprise!

If I Could Turn Back Time SPS: 1,380,000 - certified Gold. Eligible for Platinum with the RIAA. (Maybe 2xP?)

I Got You Babe SPS: 1,190,000 - certified Gold for 1 million copies. Eligible for 2x Platinum with RIAA.

I Got You Babe SPS: 1,190,000 - not certified. Eligible for Platinum with the RIAA.

Thank you so much! I Got You Babe was certified Gold (which at the time meant 1 million units) in September of 1965: https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?...search_section So also eligible for 2x Platinum!

It's great to see her with multiple eligible multi-platinum singles. I'm guessing Dark Lady, Half-Breed, and Gypsies are all close as well since they're certified Gold (1M at the time) too.
