![]() 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! ![]() |

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

![]() 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.

![]() 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.

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

![]() Yeah I never really understood this, as it seems (IMO) to really inflate how popular a double album actually was. On the other hand, you are paying more for it since its a double, but I always thought the better way to certify double albums would be to count them at 1.5 times the sales. That way it accounts for the higher cost/higher profits, but it doesn't double the actual units sold.

![]() 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.
