Alternative Press: Not one artist’s album has gone platinum
Um...guys. This is scary.
Quote:
According to Billboard (via Digital Music News), after nine months, not a single artist’s album has hit one million units sold in 2014 (in the U.S.). By far, Disney’s Frozen soundtrack is the year’s bestseller, hitting 3.12 million units.
So far, the bestselling artist albums of 2014 are Beyoncé’s self-titled (776,000) and Lorde’s Pure Heroine (763,000). Both, however, were released in 2013 and have just accumulated those sales throughout 2014. The bestselling album that was actually released in 2014 is Eric Church's Outsiders with 722,000 units.
