With SPS she's at 975k + whatever her total this week is; she'll be certified under that. HEARTBEAT was probably talking only about the raw numbers, and it would be nice to see her hit a million in raw sales, but even by that standard Nicki is not doing badly, IMO. The RIAA only certifies albums based on pure album sales. I thought they changed that? I definitely remember this being a topic of conversation a few months ago when Ariana got certified. Did they decide to hold off?

Did they decide to hold off? No, the RIAA did not change it. They are not going to include digital singles in album certifications because they already certify digital singles. Ariana's certification was bullsh*t. Republic did the same with Lorde's 2xP (1.5 million sold).

But no matter "pure sales" or not, Nicki is doing very well and getting hits.

Jesus, Nicki needs help. Bish needs to promote that album! Having radio hits only ain't enough! No videos, performances, etc... smh Huh? It's going to be certified platinum before too long. I'm talking about raw sales. SPS is saving everything. It's pretty amazing. SPS: 23K Raw: 7k

Ariana got it through over-shipping her album. Yeah, that's why I remembered the conversation. She got her cert one or two weeks before the new rule was to take place, and we were debating the definition of "fudging" lol. That said, I don't have a problem with SEA/TEA numbers not being included, because it feels like you're counting double if you already are certifying digital singles.
