In this edition of RIAA Certification, I am highlighting necessary sales to qualify for Multi-Platinum status.
Side note refresher - RIAA stands for Recording Industry Association of America.
Multi-Platinum certification requisite for digital sales - 2,000,000 units (plus 1,000,000 units after)
Multi-Platinum certification requisite for album sales - 2,000,000 units (plus 1,000,000 units after)
Point of interest - Thriller holds the most multi-platinum turned Diamond status in sales (33 times Platinum or 33 million units sold). Thriller is the only album to go 3-times Diamond...far surpassing the requisite listed in this post.
Update - Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) by The Eagles is just shy above Thriller with 38x Platinum.
