In RIAA certification news, Ariana's My Everything has been "certified platinum". I love Ariana but how did she even manage that?? That album barely sold 400k!!! It's even on the RIAA database!!! Are the other 600k from shipments? Did streaming play the part?? How???????

I thought streaming had a major part in that! Especially considering how it boosted her up so much last week (I think she shifted 70k including streaming?). Even if theyre not 'real' sales, it's nice to see it on a technical 'Platinum' :lol:
