I thought it was always 1 million copies given away, then TIDAL reported that fake 400K first day, and ever since that number didn't show up with Soundscan people just put it into the 1 million and said 1.4 million.
Why would Samsung specifically buy 1.4 million copies of an album? 1M makes sense, and I believe it didn't get a 2x Platinum certification until it passed 1M SPS not 600K SPS.

I don't think Samsung paid $25m for 1m copies, I think they just financed the first day of giving Anti out for free, no matter how many copies downloaded. afaik, and I could be completely wrong, RIAA certifies US units, hence the 1m copies being taken into account, whereas the remaining 470k units are the ones downloaded outside the US.
