No, because I tend to continue the trend and update with:

Quote:

Rihanna's 'Loud' - certified 2× Platinum
Rihanna's 'Loud' - certified 3× Platinum
Rihanna's 'Loud' - certified 4× Platinum

...and so forth, so get used to it

I definitely think so.Her team have been on point, and she's transitioning smoothly into her 3rd single -- which will be a smash, surely. Only time will tell how well she holds up with Brit/Gaga coming out though. It will be fun to watch. Double platinum seems attainable though.

Well , she will be sitting at 3 million by early February as sales will be around 2.8 Million by thursday.

3 MILLION, in less than 3 months. 33% of sales that GGGB did in several years. So your answer is a yes. Sales will be exceeded with a re-release.

I think they meant in the US...since this is about a US certification.

Which in that case, IDK if Loud can do 2.6 million. Then again, with a strong re-release...never know. It's not selling as strong right now to suggest it could.
