GloZell Green 11,723 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 So RIAA updated Gaga's single certifications recently, and I assume that they are going to do the same for her albums, since it would seem reasonable. ARTPOP should have been gold for a long time, having sold 746,000, as reported by Billboard last year. With the new rules: - Each permanent digital album or physical album sale count as 1 Unit for certification purposes. 746,000 10 permanent track downloads from the album count as 1 Unit for certification purposes. Applause - 2,580,000/10 = 258,000 Do What U Want - 1,220,000/10 = 122,000 - 1,500 on-demand audio and/or video streams from the album count as 1 Unit for certification purposes. (I don't know, lmao). 746,000 + 258,000 + 122,000 = 1,126,000, over the 1,000,000 requirement!

GloZell Green 11,723 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 I would do the same for CTC to see where it stand but no single sales, I'm also unsure about how spotify and YT streams come into play. Like would all of the Spotify streams count for the US? Lady Gaga | Shakira Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sales Source: Ask Billboard I want to know what's going to happen to The Fame - PF 10x PF alone adds one million to The Fame. Then there is LG 3x, JD 8x, Starstruck Gold, Paparazzi 4x, Eh Eh Gold, BDR Gold. It's like 2 possibly 3 more certifications. And what about TFM Bad Romance - 11x, Telephone - 3x, Alejandro - 2x, Yoü & I - 3x one or 2 more certifications BTW album one more certification. Born This Way - 4x The Edge Of Glory - 3x Judas - 2x Marry The Night - Gold ARTPOP only one platinum certification. Maybe two depending on the streaming of the rest of the songs on the album.
