justkeepdoingit Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 they ****** it up. "glory" has 17 songs, a 2 disc-release would've been justified. and the album would be gold certified today. from billboard: Quote Hi Jason, According to Nielsen SoundScan, through the week ending November 4, Garth Brooks has sold 65,961,000 albums in the U.S. since the company began tracking data in 1991. Two of Brooks' albums, his self-titled 1989 debut and 1990's "No Fences," do not have a complete sales history in SoundScan's database. Why is there such a large difference between Brooks' RIAA certification level and his sales total with SoundScan? The RIAA's rules stipulate that some kinds of albums, say, a double album or a box set, can be counted as double towards certification. However, SoundScan doesn't not double-count a two-disc set, or even a box set. With SoundScan, one sale is one sale. It doesn't matter if it's a suitcase full of 20 discs inside: it still counts as one sale. Brooks' two biggest selling albums according to Nielsen SoundScan are "Ropin' the Wind" (9.6 million) and "No Fences" (9.0 million). she would've debuted with the same number on the billboard charts, HOWEVER when it comes to RIAA certifications her actual sales would've been doubled. **** you, rca.

It makes me think of what did Rihanna with Anti with the help of Samsung no, it's not. these are official RIAA rules. what rihanna did was different. samsung bought a million copies of her album and gave them away for free.
