Frozen extending its lead as the year's top-selling album. :'( About to cross 3 million scanned this year which is just crazy, especially when you consider the #2 album hasn't crossed 800k yet

MAC- Pharrell's album likely shipped/sold more than 500K before this week, so it already was eligible. :) Frozen extending its lead as the year's top-selling album. :'( It shipped more but sales were at 495K last week.

^Yes- I knew what you meant, but just wanted to reiterate, as there is no SoundScan certification/designation for gold, platinum etc. :)
These days, though, with the dwindling of record stores, SoundScan numbers are a lot closer to RIAA criteria than they were in the past.

Gold should only be used for RIAA certifications.
500k should be used for sales.
But, it's a losing battle.
Many music websites refer to singles that sell 500k as "Gold."
G I R L has not been certified Gold with the RIAA yet. That we know of... The RIAA hasn't updated it's website in 3 weeks.
