The original source is in Spanish, so I'm translating these news myself
Spanish music charts corresponding to the 9-15th December week have just leaked, exposing the miserable state of the Spanish industry and some questionable forms to certify some artists.
PROMUSICAE, the agency in charge of reporting sales, usually just shows what spot has a record gone to, going from number 1 up to 100, either physical or online platforms, and for a few years the actual numbers of records sold have been banned from public viewing, only viewable to industry insiders.
www.lareputada.com just got its hands on the official charts from the second week of December, unveling some interesting things, like Lady Gaga's ARTPOP being certified Gold with only 8000 albums sold, when the Spanish rules clearly specify that a Golden certified album must have reached the 20.000 exemplars ( that numbers has been decreasing over the years due to the strong downfall on sales in this country) . Other international superstars even struggle to get to the 10.000 point, like Katy Perry or Britney Spears, 4.000 and barely 2000 apiece.
PROMUSICAE spokerpersons haven't denied these numbers,but they stand for their certifications by claiming that they certify albums based on how many copies might these albums sell, based on how many copies are disposed for the stores to sell
Here you can view the list for yourself ( check the column ''V. acum. En Lista'')

How bad, to say the least...
