Rihanna yes, within the next two months.

Florence will probably get there in the long run, the rest I doubt it...

Update:

Rihanna and Imagine Dragons have scanned 1 million. Both have been certified Platinum with the RIAA.

Weeknd has been certified Platinum for shipments of 1 million for the discs for the 3cd album.

Due to Hunter Haye's re-release, he should be able to scan 1 million.

Kendrick Lamar is at 930k.

Little Big Town is at ~909k.

Phillip Phillips is at ~903k.

Somehow I remember reading Deborah Cox's debut album has sold 1 million, but it's only been certified as gold to date. Can anyone confirm this?

[areyoureadytojump]

^I have no idea. Write "Ask Billboard" and inquire about her sales.

[areyoureadytojump]

Update:

These have crossed 1 million scanned:

Rihanna
Imagine Dragons

8/24 BB200 totals:

Kendrick Lamar 993k
Phillip Phillips 967k
Little Big Town 955k - certified Platinum
Hunter Hayes 931k - certified Platinum
Zac Brown Band 911k
Of Monsters and Men 876k
Pitch Perfect Sdtk. 850k

The last 2 are doing surprisingly well. They could now scan 1 million.

2 albums that were not on the original list, but they are approaching 1 million scanned:

Mackelmore & Ryan Lewis 982k
Florida Georgia Line 971k - certified Platinum

I asked but no response yet. However, I did get a confirmation from Deborah herself!

[areyoureadytojump]

^So it has scanned 1 million?

[imbondz]

it's crazy how long it takes for an album to scan 1 million now

[felipe]

How much has Alicia's album sold so far? And Florence's?

[areyoureadytojump]

^Alicia Keys: last figure I have is 712k from early August

Florence's Ceremonials is at 925k which is up to date

[Deleted]

I'm so happy to see Phillip Phillips succeeding. His album's fantastic. He got so damn lucky with "Home" being as big as it was.
