I'm not a Billboard.biz subscriber; what I provided is just in the Billboard Canadian newsletter. I don't even know if they provide Canadian sales even if you subscribe, but maybe somebody (or me

) could ask Flashing Lights?
Btw for anyone who is interested, in Canada:
Gold - 40,000
Platinum - 80,000
2x Platinum - 160,000
Diamond - 800,000
I.e. first week sales of 40,000 in Canada (for an album) is equivalent to first week sales of 500k in the States.
Edit: From what the newsletter says, Justin Bieber sold 26,000 units (US equivalent of 325,000). Hedley sold 13,000 units with "The Show Must Go." (US equivalent of 162,500)
Bad Romance sold 15,000 units - up 32%
