SlaeUrAnus 15,616 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Just a quick thought. It is currently 9x Platinum (source: Wiki) with 7,210,000 sold. However, doesn't 100m streams on YouTube count as 1x Platinum or something? Can someone help me understand how sales and streaming certifications go together? Like Bad Romance sold 5,000,000 in the States, but somehow is certified 11x Platinum (Diamond) due to 600,000,000 views on YouTube. If this is the case, will Poker Face reach Diamond at some point? In my messy era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GloZell Green 11,723 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Who knows Hopefully they will. Born This Way (single) sold four million copies and it STILL isn't certified, while DWUW and Applause were certified Platinum (they sold less than BTW). Although Poker Face deserves it, because it changed Pop Music forever. Lady Gaga | Shakira Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreyw 4,285 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Poker Face has almost 236M views on VEVO which would mean 2.360.000 units and + 7.210.000 would be 9.570.000 copies (9x platinum) so I guess it would need to get 430.000 units to be certified diamonds (VEVO views , which would be like 43M views or 430k copies sold) well, idk the rules , but from what you posted in the op, this would be a thing on how it would get that diamond certification Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
