Oop, and there are still so many more markets to add. Is this going to be the biggest female debut of the year?

I live in Brazil and those sales are shipments.

Shipments or not they will still be counted. Just as they are for every other artist. Ffffff but I'd love to see a sales comparison.

BYE @ her selling 80K in Canada.

then why the hell she got a plaque??????????

Nope. Japan won't count for this week either.

Brazil and Canada are obviously shipments and the US numbers aren't final.

Wow. This is amazing, I can't wait for the final WW numbers. not only is she gonna sell more than all of her contemporaries WW, she might have the highest WW debut this year for a female.

Plaques (Certifications) are given to artists after the record label reports the SHIPMENTS not sales.

QUEEN

Japan sales will be split, but they still are technically first week sales.

Did I mention anything about weeks? So?

Didn't BTW open with 1.9 million in May?

so we can expect higher from the US or ....

So if her company shipped 2 million in the US she would have been 2x plat.. Welp.. let me call Interscope.

Exactly, Shania Twain's UP had 10 million copies shipped in US and almost half are still unsold Femme Fatale also reached Plat and still isn't at 1 Million in US.
