Hi, I reverted your edit, since the album did in fact hit platinum, you just have to scroll down, the awards are in chronological order.--Terrillja _talk 22:47, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Although, doesn't that mean by definition it's sold in excess of 1m? That's what confused me about that. I just found a source saying sales in excess of 1m, so I'll stick that in.

The thing is, every sales monitoring group is different, Nielsen Soundscan uses over the counter sales, while the RIAA uses shipments minus returns, so promo copies count. Best to just state the number of one source and reference it to them, trying to mix them together is too confusing.--Terrillja _talk 23:06, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
