(15P, 16P)Maybe their 1994 and 1995 sales were adjusted downwards?Surely because most of their sales were pre 1994? Isn’t Thriller 25 counted separately? Aren’t ABBA GOLD and Rumours also due upgrades based on all time sales?
May 30May 30 Sales for a number of pre 1994 albums have been reported e.g. Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road, Rumours.Thriller was 15 times Platinum on 26/11/21 and Thriller 25 was Platinum on 14/08/2009.Bad was 14 times Platinum on 26/11/21.Abbey Road and Dark side of the moon were also upgraded on 26/11/21.Thriller must be very close to 16P by now.
