in Wikipedia it says 6X platinum... X300K so...

and only peak at number 2? WTF?

 

wow if it's true. Can I have the run chart of the album please?

Its Listed on BPI as 6x platinum but skips many of the awards in between (not uncommon though)

It sold 519k in 2006 according to end of year list, and another 398k in 2007 for a total of 917k. Obviously it will have sold more in 2008 as cheap loads of places but it must be less than 90k as it isn't in the top 200 list for that year, so should still be under 1mil but eligible for 3xplatinum now.

 

I've always thought that certificate was an error and was actually meant to be its 2xplatinum but someone cocked up. Noticed this months ago but had forgotten until your post, thanks for bringing it up and i hope that answers your question :D

 

As for chart run, it spent 69 weeks on the top75 and stayed at its peak of two for a single week. I can't be assed to type it all but if you want to look follow this link http://acharts.us/album/14838 and click draw graph after ticking the UK top75 box which will show you its weekly positions to date

so you say its 1 million and there it says 1.8 million... big difference, I wonder Y. tnx.

Surely that's a big cack up by Wiki, its got to be on 13k or thereabouts.

Definitely not 1.8 million, would be closer to the 1 million spot as already pointed out.

:huh: Perhaps it could be her worldwide total and they cocked it up.

 

I know she did 300k in US or thereabouts. So perhaps that could be it.And I bet she did a few hundred K elsewhere.

doesn't explain the the BPI certification though- they're supoosed to audit sales before granting a sales award and it appears as 6xplatinum on their website (which only counts UK sales btw). May send them an email about this if i can be arsed. It could of course be that there are huge warehouse stocks of this still everywhere, its frequently in the sales still, but this seems far too many <_<

i think its only about a million.

 

Her full chart run is in the Lily Allen forum if your interested ;)
