Yay these are all the singles that weren't even on the RIAA data-base until now. Finally Bobby.


However, why do some of them only seem to be including streaming (Judas obviously)? Alejandro and Telephone are 2M / 3M respectively in sales alone, their videos were big, I'm sure they should be more in streaming included no?

They either were very global (& most of their streams come from outside the US) or they're still somewhat undercertified.

This is probably it, as You and I is 3x Platinum and we all know it was local.

[romonster]

Slay at these new certifications

I hope they update the ones for her albums soon. Eager to know what ARTPOP's new certification would be. 1x platinum is on lock but maybe it's close to 2x platinum with the streams and downloads of the singles

[zoldyck]

Fame can possibly reach diamond status with this rule, it is very close to 5M in pure sales and its total certifications from tracks are 26.5 millions
Not to forget certification of PF, JD and Starstuck will be updated again soon

[MexicanLiLMonster]

Wait, the 100M records sold award that was given to Rihanna is for US numbers or WW? How far away is Lady Gaga from that? or which Artist will probably be next?

100M for US sales. Rihanna's had a **** more ton of single releases and feature releases it's incomparable. Gaga's currently at 59x platinum off just 17 tracks and the fourth most successful in single certifications which is incredible.

Well Gaga is at 59M RIAA certified singles and probably around ~20M certified albums once all her album certs are updated to include stream and track sales. She's still quite far away from that even with updated album sales but it's still impressive given she has the least amount of singles out of her contemporaries (Katy, Tay, Rih).

The Fame:
Album sales — 4.6 million = 4.6 million
Just Dance — 7.01 million = 701,000
Poker Face — 7.25 million = 725,000
Lovegame — 2.58 million = 258,000
Paparazzi — 3.49 million = 349,000
Other tracks + recurrent sales — 3 million = 300,000
Total: 6.933 million

Just Dance — 150M+ streams (8x Plat, 7M is real sales so 1M+ is streams. 1M * 150 = 150M)
Poker Face — 412.5M+ streams (10x Plat, 7.25M is real sales so 2.75M+ is streams. 2.75M * 150 = 412.5M)
LoveGame — 63M+ streams (3x Plat, 2.58M is real sales so 420K+ is streams. 420K * 150 = 63M)
Paparazzi — 75M+ streams (4x Plat, 3.5M is real sales so 500K+ is streams. 500K * 150 = 75M)
Total: 700.5M streams just off single certifications.

Albums full streams likely near 1B.

1B streams = 667K. + 6.933M pure&TEA = 7,600,000 equivalent sales.

It can probably get 8x Platinum since shipments are used for RIAA.

How is Applause not 4x Platinum already? 2.58 million sales a year ago (probably ~2.7 million now), 112 million streams on Spotify + 277 million combined views on Youtube = 399 million streams

It was a kinda local hit so surely at least 140 million streams (equivalent to 1.4 million single 'sales' according to the RIAA) have to be from the US

150 streams equals 1 digital purchase now, it's not 100 anymore. It'd need atleast 195M streams for 4x Platinum.

[slobro]

Alejandro only 2x Platinum when it sold 2.54 million copies and has 254 million YT views and 62 million streams on Spotify?

They changed the criteria for singles as well? I thought the new formula was for album certifications only.

Good of them tbh. The 100 Youtube views = 1 sale formula was ridiculous

You're right, but why is not 3x Platinum at least?

Applause was certified 3x P a few months ago.

= 58x Platinum

So glad we got updated numbers at last! Surprised at Telephone and Y&I both being 3x. Hope Telephone can hit 4x eventually!

[Summer Boy]

She's still under certified tho.
Telephone and The Edge Of Glory should be at least at 4x platinum (maybe even Applause)
Paparazzi and Born This Way should be at 5x platinum
Alejandro should be AT LEAST 3x platinum
Poker Face could reach 11x platinum soon

Do What U Want could reach 2x platinum soon too

That would make a total of: 67 (still far from Katy :/ )

[vamp]

It's about time.
