If only they counted all here receipts she would be super high, but at least she's on the list and climbing slowly with only 4 albums (one still selling).

Why do you post in here?! Gal, I don't really like Ke$ha's album but do you see me posting in those threads ''I know this is going to make me sound really pressed (trust me I'm not) but I really dislike her and this new album.''? Nope.

Congrats Bey

People are so pressed. Just be happy for other peoples' success and stop being so bitter.

she so amazing

Make yo' check come at her neck.

You won't see me in some floozy's thread doing that mess either, lol.

Amazing

YAS!

Still Sony should certify DIL 5plat.

They count the acts separately on the RIAA. So you'll see Destiny's Child (17.5) on a separate page from Beyoncé (11) and in different spots on the list. I look at both and add them (28.5) to see how she has faired in her overall career against her contemporaries and she is right below Britney and Eminem by 4 million which is amazing to me since they have Diamond albums even though I guess TWOTH is close to Diamond. Over the last 15 years, Beyoncé has sold enough in her overall career to officially become the 63rd best selling artist in America out of millions of acts.

OMG, I forgot about that.

That means here solo certification album total should really be 12 million and 29.5 overall.

and just in the us

These are certifications, she at 12 million raw sales in the US. 4 has sold about 650k and the last Billboard receipt showed 11.282 million so she should be sitting right at 12 million for now.

Boy, if they did that ATRL would burn down, imagine the thread.
