Anybody know the totals for Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran? Are they anywhere near 1m? Thanks!

Posted by: britster 18th December 2014, 11:51 AM

Sam Smith - 1,050,000
Ed Sheeran - 685,000

Posted by: buzz_person 18th December 2014, 12:08 PM

Yay!!!! Sam Smith went platinum!!! I take it they are from actual sales (without TEA/SEA). It's a depressing look when only two 2014 released artist album sold over the platinum threshold this year.

Edit: Just saw totals, Taylor is now triple platinum!!!!!

Posted by: Simon. 18th December 2014, 12:12 PM

Bugger, hoping Mary J. Blige 'London Sessions' hasn't dropped too much

Posted by: _Nīck_ 18th December 2014, 03:35 PM

Thanks a lot! Good news for Sam Smith, not a huge fan but amazing to see how well he's taken off in the US!

Posted by: Michael Bubré 18th December 2014, 03:52 PM

Ah, I was wondering if Ed was anywhere near 1m yet but it seems not - I presume there's very little chance of it selling the remaining 325k in the last couple of weeks of the year but it'll definitely pass the mark at some point especially if 'Thinking Out Loud' is as massive as it was/is in the UK.

Nice seeing Taylor and Sam selling very well this year. How likely will Pentatonix reach the platinum threshold before the year is over?? They can do it.

By the end of this week.

Really impressed with J. Cole having all three of his albums reach #1, and increasing first-week sales each time (353K > 297K > 217K)! Of course having a December release probably worked in his favor this time but it's still impressive, especially with no hit single to support this one yet.
