The success of Rock a Little.

[James89]

TOSOTM probably sold just over 900,000 copies after it fell off the charts in '89 as after SoundScan in '91 it has only sold 79,000 copies so it was very close to Platinum in '89 but needed those 8 years of slow sales to get to the magic million.

TISL did not sell 500,000 copies in 5 weeks. Fact. It was certified Gold but it couldn't have sold that many copies in that time. Its 5 week run went as follows: 5,9,20,30,37. It sold 178,000 copies in the first two weeks. At #20 it probably sold about 35,000, #30 about 25,000 and #37 about 20,000 which leaves a grand total of approximately 258,000. That's nowhere near half a million. It was obviously certified due to shipments, just like Street Angel.

As for Crystal Visions, it has already crossed the 'Gold line'. It has sold 505,000 copies and that was as of June 2014 so it's probably at about 530,000 by now.
