Us Kanye stans can't lose all those classics all platinum status

 

[Cladyclad]

Rick Ross might finally get his first platinum album with Mastermind if he can play this game

No respectable company would buy more than a 50 copies of Ricky's album. So u don't have to worry about that.

 

[Brehnamedwavey]

what them Born Sinner numbers lookin like now

 

[Cladyclad]

Samsung's numbers are not being counted by Billboard, but RIAA is counting them. Those one million copies are not included in the number you're looking at because Billboard won't, however it's the RIAA that certifies. What Jay-Z somehow pulled off is much more impressive. Dude basically bootlegged his own album and gave that shyt out for free to Samsung users and then 1.1 million people bought it anyway.

Dude a idiot if think Jay only sold 100k without Samsung. Imagine the hate/clowning Jay would have got if he only sold 100k over 6 month

So I contributed to this Bullshyt by taking advantage of that Google "Yeezus for free " offer.
I didn't even listen to it on Google Play, but it was free so I was like

Yeezus has shipped over 1 million copies earning Kanye his 7th platinum album award from the RIAA (including his joint album Watch The Throne with Jay Z). While Ye’s latest solo project has managed to earn certified platinum status for shipments to retail, it still has not sold over million copies to consumers. The album now sits at around 630,000 units sold.

Wait, I thought that when you SOLD 1 million copies you was certified platinum. They gave him the plaque for SHIPPING 1 million copies . Damn even the RIAA is on his nuts.

they counted 500K of free downloads on Google.

Basically so he can still "FEEL" like a Platinum Artist... it's an Ego/Perception thing... look in the future for more Goal Posts to be moved so artists can save face... a.k.a. Usher's last album selling less then Frank Ocean...

 

[Akademiks]

Labels apply for platinum certification .. The Riaa doesn't pick and chooses who to randomly give it.

IF someone got it means their record label applied for it and sent in proper proof to show that there are 1,000,000 in circulation.

so blame def jam

 

[Urbanmiracle]

Ya know they do this for everyone?
