Glee Cast - Glee: The Music, Volume 6

Quiet odd for this album specifically, I can’t imagine there is a lot of folks still purchasing it and the only songs from the with any current trajectory (ie, 3k or more daily streams) are My Man (Streisand cover, 11k) and I Feel Pretty / Unpretty (West Side Story & TLC mashup, 3k)

    I just love doing the certifications and observing the charts. It pleases my little, autistic brain.

    I'd like to think @Jerald for being more competent than the BPI this past month

Maybe it had sold almost 60K during its original chart run in 2011 when Glee was at its peak popularity and gradually accumulated the remaining few thousand units over the last 15 years (which might be negligible amounts each week) to tip it into Silver status.

Do legacy albums not automatically update like singles or is manual merging of pre and post 1994 numbers required?

It is only the ones which were multi-platinum before the update to the 1994 change in system. Currently, you see albums and singles that have already been certified get the total amount needed for the next certification (so a 4x certified album would need 1.5 million sales before getting 5x certified even though 300k is needed for a platinum cert). In these cases, BPI seem to check every year or two and update when another 300k is passed rather than rely on how other legacy certified albums and singles are treated.

I would’ve expected Fleetwood Mac-Rumours to included in those upgrades

As well as Beatles Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road and 1.

I highly doubt those albums have reached 19, 9 and 14x platinum thresholds yet.
