My December is certified gold in Australia which translates to 35,000 copies. If that is more successful than her sales in the U.S. then that's kind of sad really. Your "sad" information is incorrect: 'My December' was certified platinum (at least 70,000 copies) and 'Never Again' was certified gold by ARIA in October 2007. If you need further confirmation, here you go (scroll to 5:05): So, those who have stated that Kelly sells more records proportionately in Australia (~20 million people) compared to US (~300 million) were in fact correct...... |

If I had the money I'd just travel to aussie & buy up a million MD albums.  |

Could you post the link to the chart you're talking about...PLEASE. , if you scroll to ~5:00 in that video, the hosts of Australian Idol give Kelly a plaque for 'My December', stating that it is certified platinum in Australia. ;) |

OK, thanks neally. It looked like the NA performance at the TCA from that screen cap.
THANKS for posting that, because I knew that she received platinum certification in Australia but I'm not the greatest at google searches. At least not as incredibly proficient as grumpypuppy wallace is.

So, those who have stated that Kelly sells more records proportionately in Australia (~20 million people) compared to US (~300 million) were in fact correct...... Great find neally. That means that the certified shipped amount in Australia would equal .333% of the Australian populace as compared to the .329% that the U.S. certified shipped amount represents of the American populace. That would equate to Kelly being loved by .004% more people in Australia. Coolbeans! Of course, that is assuming that a greater proportion of the 70,000 shipped in Australia sold than of the 1 million shipped in the U.S. |

I also love how the list of artists they're looking forward to are all lesbians, closeted lesbians or gay icons.

The question is which catergory Kelly falls under I'm pretty sure she's into guys? Wasn't there an article 1-2 years ago saying Kelly never said "ILY" to someone, or something? |

So, in Australia you have to sell 70K to get certified platinum while in America you can sell 800K and be certified platinum. I know most of the world is that way and I thought Australia was the same. (Just commenting on the fact that the first poster said 70K shipped and which portion bought those 70K-if I am right, 70K was SOLD) |

That's odd. Webiste glitch I guess because I can't imagine why a moderator would take his post count away.

So Kelly receiving a Platinum plaque from Australia indicates that 70,000 or more of MD were SOLD there. Perfect! Either way though, sold or shipped, a platinum certification is what the industry brags about, and uses in promotion of an artist. You know the old saying Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. I think some folks prefer to go that route. ;) So thanks LPL for the clarification. |

I wondered if Kelly was bisexual for some time, but then I realized, she isn't. She is straight, only a straight people would say she only kissed 5 guys ever. If she was bisexual (which makes me assume she doesn't want to come out as one) she'd never, ever say that.
