LittleD,
Actually I think it's the opposite way to count.
Though the rules of the RIAA certification process
has changed many times over the years. Tusk
sold two million copies, since it's a double album it
was counted as two for every copy sold. That's
where they get that magic number of 4 million copies
sold, as I've heard them repeat time and time again
in interviews with the band. In particular Lindsey.

Though I imagine it's added a substantial amount
since the last certification date was October 22, 1984.
Where it was listed as 2X Platinum.
