InTraumatica 5,786 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Help me guys. I don't understand how RIAA works. On their site I can read that every 100 streams are counted as 1 download. GUY has like 150 000 000 streams (including spotify, youtube, vevo etc.) So it looks like that masterpiece has 150 0000 + 40 000 downloads. Help me here  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Gangsta 6,692 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 All 150m views aren't from US though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropico 4,145 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Well YouTube is available worldwide so we don't know how many of those sales come from the US. There is no worldwide certifications as far as I know. So I don't think we can assume it has enough sales to be certified based on those streams.  Feel free to correct me though. ⹠Social Justice Enthusiast ⹠Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViviLittleM 3 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Even If the streams are uS.. Interscope is a mess. A lot of her singles aren't certified at all, some are undercertified, same for her albums. They only update some Songs and I dont understand why.

I don't know why you said G.U.Y. was more successful than Marry the Night, maybe because G.U.Y has over 100 million views combined on YouTube? The truth is Marry the Night peaked at #29 on Hot 100, sold 500,000 copies in the US and was certified gold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
