How Does RIAA Work?
Like, I'll go on there and it's have the same album listed multiple times. How do you know how much it's sold? And how do you know how much singles have sold?

RIAA works through certifications. An album/single gets certified each time it reaches a new level of sales.
GOLD = 500,000 copies
PLATINUM= 1 million copies
X PLATINUM= X million copies
DIAMOND = 10 million copies

I hate that site. They take forever to update their database.

certifications are different for different countries. Platinum in Canada is 100k, Platinum in the UK I believe is 300k. ect ect.
