A few titles could do with an riaa update - particularly the 1970 Elton John album last certified in 1971!!

Not included is The Lion King Soundtrack which shipped 10 million and has a soundscan figure of 7,676,000

Also, very interesting soundscan figure for that single Candle in the Wind 1997

8,837,000

Elton's turn for an overhaul.
