Seems likely.

[ezra]

Oops never hit 10M sales though so it's kinda the odd one out. Adele's will.

[Bounce]

Oops didn't sell 10m why is it in that list?

Neither did either of mariah's diamond certified albums (they are 7.5-8M in pure sales).

RIAA is based off of shipments.

You tried, ezra.

Please educate yourself on RIAA ha website ha gold and platinum certification requirements.

Also note both Mariah diamond albums didn't cross 10M in sales.

Adele might end up getting it the last week of February depending on her grammy's boost

[UnusualBoy]

Ezra and Bounce trying as usual. Anyway she will, she is almost at 7 million rn, 3 million more are piece of cake.

[Auburn]

I think its pretty obvious she will now. But 2x diamond is another question

Music Box - ~7.3m per SoundScan
Daydream - ~7.7m per SoundScan

Most of Like a Virgin's run predates SoundScan (~600k post-SS)
The Immaculate Collection - ~5.8m per SoundScan (only 6 months of its run predates SS)

Most of Whitney Houston's run predates SoundScan, with 'only' ~1.1m post-SS

Let's Talk About Love - ~9.6m per SoundScan

The Woman In Me - ~7.8m per SoundScan
Up! only reached the diamond certification due to the dual-diac rule (each copy is counted twice by the RIAA, it has sold around 5.5m on SS)

Oops!..., like most of these albums, has passed the 10 million mark through club sales. Not sure how it's the odd one out when well over half of these albums listed haven't crossed the 10 million mark on SoundScan. Seethe, I guess?

Yeah double diamond meaning two diamond albums.

But that does remind me to bump my 25 serving Shania's Come on over thread next week once we get the sales for the last week of the year.

Nobody uses club sales there's a reason why Billboard/SoundScan don't use them.

There's a reason why RIAA certifies and those certifications are used by Billboard.

All 6 legends with a new legend Adele soon to arrive to complete the women sailing the seven slays

I guess that's why the OP of the thread is discussing certifications per RIAA then.

Uh no. Soundscan pre/early-00s numbers are very innacurate.

[Bloo]

At this rate, yes. You can't even argue it's a front-loaded thing... The album's sales have been consistently remarkable.

[PoisonPill]

Shania's third diamond cert for Up shouldn't count - it's a double album and at the time each sale counted as 2. In reality it's only sold half that amount.

[slw84]

8x platinum life...she's getting there.
Pull through legend

[Ethereaaal]

She's unstoppable so... It;s likely

If she sells like Taylor did last year she will reach diamond at the end of the year
