US Charts Discussion (Part 3)

[saltface 177]

I've hated her since E.T tbh

That was around when the BTW era just started.

I was only joking you silly sausage :hug:

[Arturo 40,746]

I was only joking you silly sausage

I thought you were serious :usrs:

[Oyemiamor 40]

You just don't like her because her era was more successful than Gaga's

I think it is kind of silly when people claim that why someone does or does not like another artist. It is as silly as when someone is just like "oh you are just jealous". People like different styles of music and connect with different artists for many reasons. It is OK not to connect with Katy, to not like her voice or even her style of music. I don't listen to a lot of pop music and it gets kind of annoying to have someone shoved in your face every 5 minutes on radio, TV, magazine, etc. I bet a lot of people get tired of Gaga for the same reasons.

[Americano 31,061]

Yeah. Katy is slaying. But I heard that shes taking a long break after this.

So was Nicki after her debut, and Katy after TOTGA, and Rihanna after Loud...

lol. Katy aint going anywhere.

How could I have been serious when TD sold 5M copies and BTW sold 8.5M

Haha opps, me too! Oh well I still feel the same way because a lot of people in here always get on us for posting our opinion of Katy.

[Americano 31,061]

TD era did outperform BTW era in the US by a long shot.

When you've posted it about 20 times, it's not relevant to charts anymore. You can gladly take it to the Katy thread if she's going to be of constant interest.

LATEST RIAA CERTIFICATIONS

Gold & Platinum's Good Vibrations

June 14, 2012

Beach Boys Receive RIAA's Top Monthly Album Award, While Rascal Flatts, Gotye And Karmin Go For The Gold, And "Super Bass" Certifies Super Strong

WASHINGTON – One of the Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA’s) most certified bands of all time, The Beach Boys, earned May’s highest album certification, according to the RIAA’s newest monthly Gold & Platinum Program tally. “Sounds of Summer: The Very Best of the Beach Boys†(Capitol, 2003) certified 3x multi-Platinum just in time for the beach band’s 50th anniversary and first tour in more than two decades!

Rascal Flatts welcomed a timely Gold for their acclaimed April album release “Changed,†selling more than 500,000 copies by May. Undoubtedly one of America’s most contagious country bands, Rascal Flatts now have eight RIAA Gold (or higher) album certifications spanning their accomplished 12-year career.

Australian solo singer Gotye earned his Midas touch in May, receiving his very first Gold album award for “Making Mirrors†which was released in January on Universal Republic.

Meanwhile, Lionel Richie’s March album release “Tuskegee†(Mercury Nashville) continues to climb the G&P ladder, rising to Platinum recognition in May (Richie’s career sixth!).

More than four million digital purchases of “Super Bass†earned Nicki Minaj the month’s top song certification: a 4x multi-Platinum award. No small feat, the Universal Republic track is Nicki’s highest certified song yet. The platinum-coiffed artist also received a new matching Platinum song award to mark more than one million downloads of her latest single “Starships.â€

Huge kudos to pop duo Karmin, formed by married couple Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan: the Epic team sold more than 500,000 copies of their song “Brokenhearted†in just three months, to take home their very first RIAA Gold award in May.

Jason Aldean saddled up to two digital single awards in May. The Broken Bow artist earned a 3x multi-Platinum award for “Dirt Road Anthem†and a 2x multi-Platinum certification for “Don’t You Wanna Stay†featuring Kelly Clarkson.

“What Makes You Beautiful†has earned Columbia Records rockers One Direction their first double-Platinum plaque. Released in February, the heartthrob hit is paving the way for the group’s currently Gold album debut, “Up All Night,†to soon hit Platinum.

Florence and the Machine and J.Cole doubled up in May, earning their second 2x multi-Platinum awards for their red-hot respective singles “Shake It Out†(Universal Republic) and “Can’t Get Enough†(Roc Nation/Columbia).

First-time Platinum download certifications were awarded to English popstress Ellie Goulding and Texas rock band Blue October for their respective songs “Lights†(Interscope/Geffen/A&M) and “Into the Ocean†(Universal Republic).

In May the RIAA awarded a total of six albums, 25 digital single certifications and six video longforms. All certifications are calculated by Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman. Complete lists of all album, single, mastertone and video awards can also be accessed at www.riaa.com.

Uhm no. Nicki never said she was slowing down anytime soon.

[Americano 31,061]

Uhm no. Nicki never said she was slowing down anytime soon.

There was one interview where she said she wanted to focus more time on her next album, and then she popped it out out of nowhere lol.

Not that it matters, her music is manufactured anyway. We're going off topic, however. I'll let her worldwide album sales speak for themselves.
