be careful, this may be locked very soon/

I'm gonna wait on this one, don't think I'll lock it.

In future, I'll probably only lock topics about individual artists worldwide rather than individual countries, and see whether we get overloaded.

[john2000]

yes keep the thread that concerns a country and not an artist open. It's easier to find datas

[whyme]

thank you. I like that idea as well.

[Euterpe]

Las Ketchup "Aserejé" = 5 platinum (250.000)

[AutomaticBR]

I wanna know one thing... Platinum has always been 50k and Gold 25k for both albums & singles, right?

So, this sales are just from the french speaking part, the dutch speaking part or for the both sides of Belgium?

Oh, anyone... Mariah's certifications?

[jayspice]

So, this sales are just from the french speaking part, the dutch speaking part or for the both sides of Belgium?

I think IFPI Belgium only issues one certification that takes both Wallony and Flanders into account.

[john2000]

I found some informations about the all time best seller :

Helmut Lotti goes classic is the biggest album ever (info from 96) with more than 400 000 album sold only in the northern part of the country.

Clouseau "hoezo" album sold 271 000. While MJ Thriller sold 300 000 after 18 months.
Julio Iglesias sold 420 000 "A vous les femmes" but I don't know if this one is really accurate
