TPP is at 509K, but they said PF is @ 1.93M. I thought it was @ 2.1M according to that one GRAMMYs Best New Artist thing they posted? 
PF:RR is at 905K too.

All of the numbers Bilboard posted seem accurate. I think we were going based off of a sheet that someone could have easily created during grammy time or someone put the shipments.
It's hard for me to believe that between 2014-Feb 2015 that the album would go from 1.915/3 the last update to 2.1M without recharting on the billboard 200.
1.93 seems accurate as
1) sales do go up for old album during release and I could see PF selling 15k in 2014 vs. 200k with no re-charting entries in the billboard 200...I mean TPP first week sales almost top 200k...could PF really have sold 200k and then PFRR sold next to nothing between that time.
2) Birdman and company would have certified the album 2x platinum then
3) The fact that Missy's under construction album is somewhere between 2.1-2.2M and no mention of Nicki edging so close to being the solo female rapper with the highest selling rap album....The miseducations although a hip hop classic and a part of the dynamic duo of solo female rapper album classics Hardcore and miseducations...it's still technically an R&B album as it only has 3 rap songs while some r&b songs are hip hop influenced.
So. 1.93 PF
.905 PFRR
.509 TPP so far seems more legit.
I think by the end of this era PF will get to 1.96+ hopefully PFRR gets to 930k+ and TPP somewhere between 1.3-1.5 or at least over 1M
I don't want her to have 2 albums with 8-9+ singles not have 1M sales.
She'll have a 2x platinum and 2 platinum albums.
Next she needs to give double disc hip hop classic to complete the trinity and also give us another 2x platinum album as double disc count twice as shipped so all she'd need is 1M sales to go 2x platinum
