So then how is E.T at 8x plat then?  |
That's true, I didn't really think about Spotify. They're so similar in sales and VEVO views that the difference didn't make sense. There is no way to tell the US-only VEVO streams but yes, they do count towards certs as far as I'm aware.
E.T. was certified 7x Plat in June 2014, and 8x Plat in July 2015. Based on this logic it'd take until September 2017 until E.T. would be certified Diamond. I know that things are likely to change, but still, "not anytime soon" is accurate.
Whereas Roar was certified 8x Plat in April and 9x Plat in December. It should go Diamond sometime next year.
People say everyone has forgotten about her. 
This Is How We Do still in the Top 300. 
But yeah Roar and E.T need the sales and streams so she gets her 3rd and 4th diamond singles. 
I have no idea why it's so far behind Dark Horse and Firework.
