Andreu 37,216 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 the "european certifications" someone added to wikipedias of some album are extremely pointless and even contradictory with what's stated there For example, I was checking the numbers for David Guetta's Nothing But The Beat and it says that it has the "european platinum certification" for selling 1M on the continent. And then it has soll 500k in Germany and 600k in france?????????????? sweetie it doesn't add up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViviLittleM 3 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 “A Star Is Born” (Bradley Cooper, 2018) Memes aside, the essential scene of Bradley Cooper’s “A Star Is Born” doesn’t involve a slightly exasperated Lady Gaga turning around to accept one last look from Cooper’s grizzled, gravelly Jackson Maine. It’s the one just before it, when a still-shy Ally (Gaga) pumps herself up enough to belt an original song in front of an already-hungover Jackson Maine (Cooper) in the middle of a midnight parking lot. You can see the songwriter debating the merits of what she’s about to do in the presence of one of the music world’s apparent great talents, downtrodden and whiskey-soaked and already at least half in love with her, and then she just…does it. A few movie minutes later, she’ll be doing the same thing in front of thousands of screaming fans, and knowing what’s to come — it’s “Shallow,” of course — doesn’t dilute a drop of the sequence’s power. While “A Star Is Born” has, across four films, always offered up a two-pronged approach to the fame trajectory, following one star has she rises, the other as he falls, Cooper’s film is really about Ally more than it’s about Jackson. (That the film’s major twist, if you can call it that after three earlier films, is about Jackson does not detract from this bent.) Gaga is more than up for the challenge, but the generosity of the film extends to Cooper’s hard-won performance, alongside supporting turns from players as diverse as Sam Elliott and Andrew Dice Clay. This is a film in which every moment, every breath, every look matters (thank you, cinematographer Matthew Libatique), set to a stirring soundtrack and gorgeous scenery for added “oh, look, it’s my first film” jealousy points. There’s nothing to be jealous of here though, not really, because once the film wrings the tears from its audience — those too are hard-won — it’s hard to feel anything but wonder that this story still holds such a sway. Some stars shine forever.—KE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get what you're saying. And those certifications were made by the IFPI, but it's been a while since they added any new certification.
