Originally posted by Nasty Nas This info has been out for a few days i believe. But no one has been talking about it + i haven't seen a thread yet.

It just crossed the 500k line. It hasn't been certified gold yet. Most likely will get its gold certification w/ its platinum certification.

I personally didn't care too much about it bc there wasn't any official source that acknowledged it. Just the general chart accounts y'know. I hate how sources just give rounded up figures and nothing exact. A couple of sites do give out Soundscan numbers if you pay attention long enough, but usually it is just country and R&B/hip-hop songs.

So it's not gold?

Originally posted by King Maxx It sold 500K so it's Gold.

Maybe i should change the title to "Hey Mama goes GOLD!"

No, but I mean. It still sold 500k. Just no Gold certification yet.

I wish the certification system here wasn't so lame. In the UK and Australia, once you reach a certain sales level, you automatically get the certification that same week. I wish it were the same here. :/

And I have no clue where the sales figures have come from for "Hey Mama" which is why I have ignored them. ChartNews has been keeping up with them though, but it just feels weird to me to take what he's done and try to pass it off as official like whoever is running MPF did.

Plus, I like to think every now and then he subtracts 1k or so from his stats to trip up the copy and pasters.

Originally posted by Nasty Nas It sold 500k. Bottom line.
