It's platinum for shipped, not sold.

Re: great divide goes platnium.
 

This is a right decision.

Re: great divide goes platnium.
 

its sad that there are so many great bands out there that get dropped because they can't sell enough albums and lets face it 'the great divide' is a so-so album at best and it goes platinum already.

Once you've successfully established yourself... it's easier to stick around.

Re: great divide goes platnium.
 

They SHIPPED a million copies......It hasn't sold ANYWHERE NEAR that.....The Great Divide IS NOT platinum at this time......

Re: great divide goes platnium.
 

I think the same. And honestely i dont think the album wont be selling that amount anyway.

Re: great divide goes platnium.
 

that's true...

Re: great divide goes platnium.

Re: great divide goes platnium.
 

I believe the estimated number of albums sold is 340,000, give or take a few thousand.

Re: great divide goes platnium.
 

One Day Remains was shipped "gold" and it was also certified gold, though at the time it still had not sold 500,000 copies. Why should it be different for Stapp?

Re: great divide goes platnium.
 

ODR has actually sold gold, though. I believe the sales are around 700,000 for that. Stapp's still hasn't sold gold yet, although it has shipped platinum.

I work at circuit city in johnstown pennsylvania. To be honest with you, the same 66 copies of that album that we got on november 22 are the same 66 albums that are sitting in the store right now. We havent sold a single copy, and you know what...I THINK THATS AWESOME.
