^Yes, we have talked about that before in this thread. So then why do people still expect RIAA certs to match Nielsen/whomever SPS stats?

Some 1998 hits that should be updated: "The Boy is Mine" had sold 2.6 million as of 1998, so with streams and digital sales it's at least 3x platinum if not 4x platinum (it's currently 1x platinum). Next's "Too Close" had sold 2.1 million as of 1998, so it should be at least 2x platinum and maybe more (it's currently 1x platinum). Mariah's "My All" has sold nearly 1.5 million physical copies, so with digital sales and streams added in it's definitely 2x platinum (it's currently 1x platinum). Welp "My All" got certified 2x platinum today so mark one off the list. Assuming Sony updates Mariah's certs again this holiday season, she has several singles that I think could/should be updated: "AIWFCIY" should be 12x platinum "One Sweet Day" is very likely 4x platinum "My All" should be 2x platinum "Love Takes Time" is likely platinum "I Don't Wanna Cry" and "Can't Let Go" should likely be Gold In addition to "My All," the last two I mentioned here are now correct as they got certified Gold.

Wouldn't Wilson Phillip's debut album be considered 7x or 8x platinum? Pre-Soundscan it was certified 5x and post-soundscan it was reported it sold nearly 3 million copies

Wouldn't Wilson Phillip's debut album be considered 7x or 8x platinum? Pre-Soundscan it was certified 5x and post-soundscan it was reported it sold nearly 3 million copies There's a bit of overlap since it was last certified in April 1991. What is its exact Soundscan total? But yeah, if its Soundscan total is 3 million, I'd think it's at least 8x platinum since it would have some music club sales, too, even if they aren't huge. It could even be 9x platinum since "Hold On" would add decent SPS for an early 90s song.

^That shows how huge Wilson Phillips debut was. I knew it was huge, but I didn't know it was massive.
I guess Hold On should be platinum if it's not now

I don't think we've talked about The Weeknd in here. He just got some new certs; does anyone know if some of these were lower than expected? Also, were some others due but not done? Highlights:
Beauty Behind the Madness - 6x platinum After Hours - 3x platinum
"Can't Feel My Face" - 10x platinum "Die For You" - 5x platinum (and it's just now really taking off!) "Acquainted" - 4x platinum "In the Night" - 3x platinum

www.yahoo.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-midnights-named-top-144843816.htmlTaylor Swift’s ‘Midnights’ Named Top Platinum Album By RIAAby Rhian Daly Thu, December 8, 2022 The company has announced the 13 albums and 68 singles that were certified gold and platinum over the course of the last 12 months. In the top spot for albums is Midnights, which has been certified double-platinum after selling more than 2 million units since its release. Elsewhere in the singles list, Em Beihold’s “Numb Little Bug” ranked as a platinum single, alongside Lil Baby’s “In A Minute” and “Right On,” Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl,” OneRepublic’s “I Ain’t Worried,” and more. The gold singles list featured Armani White’s “BILLIE EILISH,” dv4d’s “Romantic Homicide,” GloRilla’s Cardi B collaboration “Tomorrow 2,” and others. In a statement, RIAA Chairman and CEO Mitch Glazier said: “Incredible voices and collaborations were celebrated this year with coveted RIAA Gold & Platinum awards, honoring artists’ creative efforts, reflecting fan engagement and recognizing commercial successes alongside label partners. Music is a powerful connector, and these milestone achievements acknowledge the dynamic reach of the very best in 2022!” The RIAA list is just one of a number of achievements Swift has scored in recent months. Earlier this week (December 7), she was crowned winner of Female Artist of 2022, Album of 2022, and Music Video of 2022 for “Anti-Hero” at the People’s Choice Awards. The ceremony followed Midnights returning to the top of the Billboard 200 chart last month, over a month after the record was originally released. The feat made it the first album to tally at least 200,000 units in each of its first four weeks of release since Adele’s 25 nearly seven years ago. Earlier in November, Swift earned yet another achievement, becoming the first artist to spend an entire year at No.1. She earned a record-extending 52nd week atop the chart (non-consecutively), thanks to the continued acclaim of her latest album Midnights. The album added a second week at No.1 on the Billboard 200 with 342,000 equivalent album units earned, according to Luminate. That’s the largest second-week total for an album since Adele’s 25 drew 1.162 million in its second frame on the chart dated December 19, 2015. That news was first reported by Billboard.

hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=334211&title=RIAA-REVEALS-ROOKIESThursday, January 5, 2023 RIAA REVEALS ROOKIESThe RIAA Class of 2022— the 39 artists who scored their first gold and platinum certifications last year—has been announced, with GAYLE, Bailey Zimmerman and Lauren Spencer Smith leading the way. Warner Nashville/Elektra’s Zimmerman was the lone artist with two platinum singles—“Fall in Love” and “Rock and a Hard Place”—while two of Spencer Smith’s Island/Republic singles went gold: “Fingers Crossed” and “Flowers.” GAYLE scored the highest certification for a first-time-certified artist this year as “abcdefu” went triple platinum, the only multiplatinum single by a rookie in 2022. In total, seven singles achieved platinum status, Muni Long’s “Hrs & Hrs” (Supergiant/MPR) among them, and 33 were deemed gold, including songs by Darkroom/Interscope’s d4vd, CMG/Interscope’s GloRilla, Republic’s JESSIA and Records/Columbia’s Dax. “Whenever a gold, platinum or diamond certification is earned, it represents massive engagement from an artist’s fans and a remarkable achievement by the artist, their creative teams and their record label. And when it's your very first RIAA award, it’s even more special. We're so encouraged by the success of the RIAA Class of 2022 and honored to help celebrate its immense talents,” said RIAA COO Michele Ballantyne.

Great news! Jody Watley's debut album has been certified 3x platinum. Wating on RIAA to update the certs.
Edit: Would've been higher had the label restocked her album in stores. As Jody Watly put it: her debut was always out of stock and there was lag of unavailability. Many stores requested the album, but not enough stock were being put out. Also, paid product placement, one of the guys from the label Shalamar was on tried to blackball her, and other artists were paying to keep her out of heavy rotation. Wit the aounto exposure that album got I'm sure it should be 5x platinum.

It seems SPS was not used for the new certs.
