Carrie Underwood's albums updated! newsok.com/carrie-underwood-becomes-the-highest-certified-country-album-artist-to-debut-this-century/article/5523990Carrie Underwood becomes the highest certified country album artist to debut this centuryBrandy McDonnell by Brandy McDonnell Published: October 24, 2016 9:59 PM CDT Updated: October 24, 2016 10:12 PM CDT On the eve of her sold-out Madison Square Garden concert on "The Storyteller Tour - Stories in the Round," Carrie Underwood was surprised by Sony Music executives in New York when they presented a plaque commemorating the platinum certification of her 19 Recordings/Arista Nashville "Storyteller" album. From left are Kevin Kelleher, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Sony Music Entertainment; Randy Goodman, Chairman and CEO, Sony Music Nashville; Carrie Underwood; Sony Music Entertainment's Doug Morris, CEO, and Julie Swidler, Executive Vice President, Business Affairs and General Counsel. Photo by Dan Callister More than a decade into her career, 19 Recordings/Arista Nashville superstar and Checotah native Carrie Underwood becomes the Recording Industry Association’s highest certified country album artist to debut this century, amid a wave of new RIAA album certifications across her entire studio catalog, according to a news release. On the heels of three back-to-back No. 1 singles, Underwood’s 2015 "Storyteller" album is now certified platinum, while each of her first four studio albums add multi-platinum certifications. These include "Blown Away" (now two-times multi-platinum), "Play On" (three-times multi-platinum), " Carnival Ride" (four-times multi-platinum), and Underwood’s blockbuster debut, " Some Hearts," now at eight-times multi-platinum. Of all country albums now RIAA certified at 8 million or more, Underwood’s 2005 debut stands as the youngest in the tally, also earning her the distinction of the highest album certification of any country artist to emerge since 2000. Underwood already holds the distinction of being the current top country artist (male or female) on RIAA’s Digital Single Ranking with 28 million (also making her among the Top 5 females in the history of the RIAA’s Digital Single Program, across all genres), according to the release.

^It's been eligible for 8xP for a while now. I'm surprised it wasn't certified 9xP due to SPS.

certs are based on shipments not hard sales so yes it's possible for Some Hearts to someday go diamond particularly if certification levels for albums are decreased and made retro active for instance 400,000 gold 800,000 platinum 8 million diamond. when the diamond awards were rolled out in 1999 album sales as a whole were higher several classic titles released prior to the use of Sound_scan info are eligible to be re-certified for instance Journey's 1988 Compilation greatest hits sells about 110,000 copies a year and was certified 15 x platinum on April 22nd 2008 or Mariah Carey's self titled 1990 debut was certified 5 x platinum on April 29th 1991 and 9 x platinum on December 15th 1999 though sales of the later were dramatically reduced in 1998 and 2001 with the releases of #1's and Greatest Hits or her first Christmas Album 1994's Merry Christmas sells about 75,000 copies a year so is conceivably due an update to 6 x platinum granted those albums are from Columbia records which she left in 2000 though the later was last updated January 30th 2003

The RIAA also factors streaming in now, so I highly doubt they'd ever change it so that 400k = Gold and 800k = Platinum. Basically what happens now is that, if an album has sold or shipped 300,000 copies, but the RIAA also deems that it's been 'consumed' enough through streaming for another 200,000 equivalent sales, then it will get a Gold certification.

That's so cool to see "Peter Pan" certified Platinum. Not many singles got certified Platinum so it is great to see such an amazing song certified

congrats to Kelsea for Peter Pan reaching platinum it's her second single to do so Love Me Like You Mean It reached platinum back in August she's the first debut artist in a generation to score three top ten singles from a debut album the last female debut artist to achieve that was Faith Hill in 1993/1994 when Wild One Piece Of My Heart and Take Me As I AM all peaked at either #1 or #2 on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks Chart while But I Will stalled and Peaked at #35 their parent album Take Me As I Am was eventually certified 3 x platinum on April 8th 2003 9 1/2 years after release of her albums it took the longest to receive it's highest certification while it took her 1999 album Breathe roughly 3 1/2 years to reach it's high watermark of 8 x platinum the certifications program began in 1958 Multi Platinum was introduced in 1984 and Diamond in 1999 so since on demand audio/video streams are added to album certifications since February 1st 2016 Michael Jackson's 1982 masterpiece Thriller is triple diamond + 2 x platinum for sales of 32,000,000 in the US. worldwide sales are claimed at 100,000,000 in the R.I.A.A. announcement of the 30 x platinum in December 2015

So I believe Kelsea is the first female artist since Carrie to achieve 3 top 10 singles from her debut album. Also, while I did enjoy the little history lesson about Faith Hill and RIAA certifications, I'm not sure what anything after the part that I bolded had to do with Kelsea Also, just for future reference, posts are easier to read with punctuation and capitalization thrown in there when necessary :)

Taylor Swift also had 5 Top 10 hits off her debut album as well, fwiw. And Gretchen Wilson also had 4 from hers. But Kelsea Ballerini is definitely the most successful female debut act since those three (Carrie, Taylor, Gretchen) in the mid 2000s. Pretty sure she's likely headed for a fourth Top 10 too with "Yeah Boy" flying up the charts.
