Weeks and weeks ago Paula Abdul said on "ET" that Clay's debut album was 3X Platinum and I also heard some other things on the internet about that too but every week since then I've checked the Billboard website and RIAA and his album is still listed as "2X Platinum" on the Hot 100 Album Chart.
So did Paula Abdul just get prematurealy excited or is it really 3X Platinum and Billboard and RIAA are just too lazy to recognise that?
*Such confusion, I'm about to fall off my chair.*

My guess is that RCA won't bother to apply for the 3x platinum certification until actual sales get a little bit closer to the 3 million mark (right now, they're near 2.5)

Ive heard several, several press releases say 3X platinum.
Shouldnt it be certified that anyways? Its already sold 2.5-2.6 million...I would guess it would end up near 2.7 million when its all said and done and is that not enough for 3 million shipped?

It's starting to really fall off the charts, it fell from #73 to #91 last week, so perhaps RCA wants to get to 2.7 or 2.8 million before applying for a 3X Platinum Certification.

According to the RIAA's site, it's still officially 2X platinum (at least until RCA decides to have it recertified, assuming it's shipped 3 million by now). I don't think it's a matter of anyone being too "lazy". :)

I still can't believe he has sold that much. What has the US music buying public come to
