With everything factored in. Mind you also that an international release is platinum when it has sold just 20k copies so it is most certainly platinum either way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_recording_certifications Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio 27,769 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 It's easy for big acts to go platinum relatively quickly there, I know Dimash Kudaibergen went 3x plat in like 5 minutes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
