Certification information for Heroes isn't shown in the database. It may just be an oversight.

I had long considered Tusk a 4 million seller, thinking each record of the double-record Tusk was counted towards its certification. But then I read this from Wikipedia: "Multi-disc albums are counted once for each disc within the album, if the album is 100 minutes or more in total length." Since Tusk falls well short of 100 minutes in length, I suppose it didn't meet that requirement. The RIAA database seems to support this.
