Very nice, 2m. :) Holy moly- Celebration at No. 6 right now. Even if it drops back, I guess No. 1 after the Super Bowl halftime show is very possible. EDIT- No. 4. Look out Adele, Mo is on her way.

I have to say I'm shocked at the movement for Celebration, I understand it's on sale...but damn, this is even more fun than I thought. Just wished that IC could get more loving and add into it's amazing total.

The pop-bars for "Give Me..." have decreased a little bit- so if it dips down to No. 12 soon- behind LMFAO, funnily- don't be surprised. But, the big boom- if it will happen- should come tomorrow evening.

Wasn't The Time (Dirty Bit) much lower than GMAYL when it was performed at the Super Bowl? That went #1 on iTunes after the performance, so I think Madonna has a great shot of getting her first #1 digital hit since 4 Minutes.

^If the sales carry over well enough into the first full week, that's possible. If the performance resonates, the lingering effects could last a little bit.
Wonder how many units will be sold in the last 2.5-3 hours on Sunday night.
Meanwhile, Celebration is in fine position, at No. 3 on the albums chart.

The 3 classics she performs, they should put them on sale for .69 cents!

^"Like a Prayer" currently is No. 667 (though it's not 69 cents). A few other tracks are in the top 1000, though not "Vogue" or "Music" (the rumored classics she'll perform).

^"Liker a Prayer" has scanned more than 500K, but I doubt WB would certify older titles digitally. It couldn't even certify all the eligible physical singles timely or completely.

True
Certifications are less likely to happen (although not impossible) with older titles.

I'd rather see Celebration reach Platinum status one day (500k sales for 2 discs) than old singles certified.
And COADF 2xp but that's a lot less likely to happen.

^And a few others predating COADF- but, yeah, WB is not likely to dip into the catalog and certify studio albums.
With the single-disc version of Celebration selling better than the double disc these days, that may hinder the platinum chances. But, the to-date sales for both combined likely have topped 300K by now, so who knows. It needs consistent good pricing to have a shot at decent sales in the future.

That's not enough for 2xp. Then what is enough? I think we can agree that there's no clear cut number, it just depends on the label, situation. But like I said, it was unlikely... though not impossible. ;)

My guess for 2x on an album that is not a new release is probably 2 million
for 1.708 to be enough there need to be 300,000 copies sitting on a shelf somewhere.
Most of the remaining physical CD stores seem to stock large numbers of copies of only new releases and catalog albums that will likely sell.
Aside from Immaculate Collection Madonna's catalog has never had any real sustained sales.

The Madonna song is back to #11
Smooth Criminal is #12
Both songs are falling but Glee is falling faster

Plus it was falling pretty fast in the top 10, and now without top 10 exposure should fall even faster. International Love will probably pass it as well, but then I would imagine GMAYL will fly past it after her performance.

If she was on Britney's label it would be Pfftt...I wish Britney Spears' 'Britney' 4.9M still 4x platinum 'In the zone' 2.9M still 2x platinum 'Blackout' 1.002M still uncertified 'Circus' 1.68M still 1x platinum Queen Brit needs to be certified 37x platinum in the U.S. but is still 33x...

Said it before, but that's why media outlets report SoundScan figures for newer titles titles and not RIAA certs. It would be kinda silly to refer to an album as "platinum-selling" when it has scanned 1.6 million or more units.

Wouldn't it be just as or maybe even more silly to refer to it as a double platinum selling album when it has only scanned 1.6 million units?
