Rumours officially 20xplatinum from RIAA!
 

At last! 'Rumours' has been certified 20xplatinum by the RIAA. The album was last certified in 2003.

There are also many other FM titles that need re-certifying so I hope the RIAA can get to work on those.

Great news! :thumbsup:

That's great news! I can't believe Eagles Greatest Hits is 29x platinum. And that was released before Rumours?

Pretty impressive- Rumours is only the 10th album to be certified Double Diamond in the history of the RIAA. :thumbsup:

It was released about a year prior. It was also released just prior to their biggest album, Hotel California. It is a greatest hits album though. I have no idea how it's sold so much. It was alone at the top of all time US charts until Michael Jackson died pushing Thriller into a tie. But again that's a studio album against a greatest hits.

Yes, and 3 of those are double albums which count twice as much. So they've really sold...or shipped....half of that.

Thats great news.I guess all 5 now can pick up the framed platinum disc's .

Impressive!!!

It's a greatest though. Not the same thing as a regular album.

Not to sway off topic.Michael Jackson is probably up there with his albums by now along with the Beatles and Elvis .



I would like to find a list of this info.

I wonder were the rest of FM albums sit with RIAA.

Why was this the only one certified. Landslide should of been certified platinum.
Crystal Visions Gold.

Great news! Rumours is #10 on iTunes Rock!

I'm curious to know what each band member made off those 20 million copies sold, if there's even a quantitative way of calculating it.

Hold on. 11 years and it only sold 1M? I heard at least 3M. I think that number is wrong.

11 years. That is 1748 records a week. We know it sells that much a week and in some instances more. After Glee 11,000 in a week. So I do wonder if this number is right. It seems low.

Good for them. Now I hope everyone understands why Rumours will always be blitzed out on tours, remasters/rehashings and recycled articles.
