I think it'd be the same album that was previously certified 2x Platinum, right?

Yes, but when The Fame Monster was certified 2x Platinum then so was The Fame. Originally 'The Fame' was certified 4 x Platinum in late 2009, but the albums have since been separated.

how is it possible if every country has their own certifications? that is the same thing as the diamond wordwide certification

I'm not doubting the source, I just don't get it

So The Fame is 6x Platinum and TFM is 3x Platinum?

The highest platinum cerification level in Europe is 300k though (UK), which is a lot less than the EU certification (1,000,000) so it's like they've equated the level to the population, as opposed to 1,000,000 equaling platinum worldwide.

...I hope that that made sense



Around 11,000,000 album sales in total from just the US & Europe aint too shabby at all
