So another 400k to go. I think it's possiblllle. Are RIAA certifications now based off SPS or is it stillll based on raw salles? Considering Ariana's album is certified Platinum, I think it's based off SPS at this point.

Didn't Ariana ship Platinum? I thought that's how she got her certification.
If it's based off SPS that is soooo stupid.

It's based off SPS now. Ariana's situation was odd because she got certified one or two weeks before the change to SPS began, so no one knows if her label massively overshipped her album or if she was certified under the new formula, just before it was 'officially' put into place.
I think Nicki could still get to 1 million on album sales alone if they push the era for the remainder of the year.

The downside of having Only, Feeling Myself and Truffle Butter all overlap is that she's already played 3 of her strongest cards, especially for Urban radio, so it'll be tough to keep this campaign going that much longer without a re-release or some kind of injection of new material.
They should try Buy A Heart next though for Urban while the pop and international singles are being dealt with separately. So many people are talking about her and Meek right now.

She still has potential singles/hits.
The Night Is Still Young Get On Your Knees Buy A Heart Trini Dem Girls Crying Game
TDG would work on Urban/Rhythmic. I even think it could work on Pop, the pre-chorus is so pop leaning. GOYK is an obvious Pop & Rhythmic smash and BAH is screaming to be #1 on Urban. Then if she still wants to work Urban, she has Want Some More & Favorite.

Yeah I would do a full push for Trini Dem Girls, at least to Urban and Rhythmic, complete with a good music video and some sort of promo tie-in to something summer-related.

I think Favorite is the hit over Buy a Heart tbh.

The Night Is Still Young was playlisted on BBC Radio 1 (first of hers since Va Va Voom). A hit in the UK? Likely now.

TNISY will be her biggest song since Starships
I agree that there are still songs left that will do well on radio. The problem is she isn't promoting her songs. No performances, no videos for the last 2 singles...I understand that she is on tour but something should have been done. Sales would have been much more solid.

It seems shes focused on Urban redemption, but that doesn't translate into Platinum sales. Either way, she is about to get a Platinum Plaque though, lol.

Guys im pretty certain its riaa only certifies albums based on raw sales, they said that when the bb charts changed to sps. Also on their website under certification requirements for albums ot doesnt say anything about sps or streams counting to an album.

At this point, I'm not even excited for a Feeling Myself video anymore b/c you just know it's going to be some Tidal bullshit exclusive.

What can I say about Nicki. She is amazing. She just keeps on cranking out the hits. I am really feeling Truffle Butter right now.
