It's a pretty fantastic resource for numbers though. There are a lot of posters there who've spent a lot of time tracking/analyzing this stuff, though there's always going to be room for error when it comes to worldwide figures.
Oh, finding numbers and "receipts" are great finds in Ukmix, the atmosphere is just quite stuffy.
*= These certifications are from Nov/Dec 2009 so sales might be quite higher, that's why Asian total is quite high
I'm not sure about Mexican sales. It was certified Platinum+Gold (120.000 copies) months ago and at the same time it was certified 2xPlatinum in Brazil (120.000 copies).
Now in Brazil it sold over 250.000 copies so I think Mexican sales might be close...
I'm not sure about Canadian sales too.
Certifications for Colombia and Central America are old too.
It's sold 1.3m through Mediatraffic alone (not all sales) since that was posted last December, so:
Looking at all these old figures makes me feel so nostalgic. I remember when selling 200k first week was horrible and now it`s something to be proud of. If anything, it only makes me worried about what figures will look like in 5, 10 years.
Her label has done a **** job of promoting her, but still, with a 12M-selling global monster like Tik Tok and an endless stream of Top 10 hits, that's...
A successful single can only go so far. *Looks at Taio Cruz, Jason Derulo, Jay Sean*
Her going Platinum basically off the sheer success of her singles is something to clap about. Artists, usually, aren't that lucky.
