Hi Ultimate Master!

As stated by Michael, it is needed to read the articles first. Everything is already explained, there is no need to copy / paste it on comments really.

Hey there MJD, I didn't mean about the calculation I mean about the difference of the WHITNEY'S DIGITAL SALES EQUIVALENT ALBUMS PAGES from Whitney's TOTAL CSPC GRAPH ABOVE ABOUT THE DIGITAL SALES!!!?

2.) WHITNEY ALBUM - it stated that HER TOTAL CSPC IN DIGITAL COLUMN is 510,000 equivalent albums

- while in her DIGITAL SALES PART 1 IN PAGE 18 OF YOUR ARTICLE ABOUT WHITNEY HOUSTON it stated that it is 765,000 equivalent albums

AS YOU SEE MJD, people may get confused about this, because if those DIGITAL SALES PAGES doesn't match on the result in DIGITAL COLUMN IN TOTAL CSPC OF WHITNEY HOUSTON it collapses the whole TOTAL CSPC OF WHITNEY HOUSTON and (PEOPLE WILL THINK ESPECIALLY TO THE NEWCOMERS) THE TOTAL SOLD ALBUMS (IN CSPC) WILL BE 149,980,000 instead of the CORRECT ONE :151,693,000 TOTAL SOLD ALBUMS. I THINK THERE IS WRONG IN YOUR ARTICLE ABOUT WHITNEY HOUSTON TOTAL CSPC. I'VE SEEN SOME ARTISTS LIKE MARIAH AND CELINE THERE TOTAL CSPC IS THE SAME IN PAGES AHEAD OF IT(like digital sales pages from THERE TOTAL CSPC) ,MJD, YOU MUST REVIEW, CORRECT AND EXPLAIN WHOLE OF IT, THE ARTICLE PAGES OF WHITNEY HOUSTON(ESPECIALLY ON DIGITAL PART PAGES). IT'S OKAY TO HAVE SOME MISTAKES WE ARE ONLY JUST HUMAN BEINGS. I ONLY WANT TO CORRECT SOMETHING

DO NOT ASSUME AND DO NOT BE STUPID!!!!! because you are not what I AM ASKING, do not share being DESPERATE THERE, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS HAVING APROBLEM THERE!!! MAYBE I AM BURSTING IN MY WORDS ,BUT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE ME |( YOU ARE NOT MJD !!! WHO IS WHAT I AM ASKING FOR, SO DO NOT PRETEND ,YOU ARE JUST A NEWCOMER IN HERE , SO TEAT ME LIKE YOUR EQUAL BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT THE ONE WHO CREATED THIS SITE ,:<

First of all. Its ok to have a broken english here and there, but your English is just all over the place. Secondly, this is a public debate website. We can comment ur comment as much as we want.

Hi MJD
https://www.whitneyhouston.com/news/whitneydiamond-update-on-diamond-certification-for-whitney-album/
Whitney was on 10 million-143k≈9.85 million SPS sales in US by December 2018 according to her official website. It seems that you overestimated it sales in US since it is impossible that it only sold 50k copies on TEA and SEA.

https://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=the+bodyguard+taiwan&_from=R40&_trksid=m4084.l1313&_nkw=whitney+the+bodyguard+taiwan
According to the official Taiwanese edition of The Bodyguard, it said that it sold 600k copies in Taiwan on the cover.

Hi dhhd,

Here too it's not how it works. Certifications aren't automatic, they are awarded only when requested and audited. Her it's even a worst case since the audit wasn't even requested. All the article says is that an award is overdue a diamond cert. It can be at 10.0 or 10.9 million. That isn't a very useful article really.

I thought the label could get the shipment figures and then requested RIAA?

MJD, as you stated at WHITNEY HOUSTON TOTAL CSPC, digital downloads are now 10 to 1.5 weighting that resulte into 510,000, then why is it in WHITNEY'S DIGITAL CELL is not adjusted, it is still 10 to 1 weighting that resulted (for example WHITNEY ALBUM) into 510,000 instead of 765,000. Whitney's is NOT UPDATED and has SOME ERRORS especially in her TOTAL CSPC PAGE in page 34. Hope you get it!

Did Whitney even sold albums in Africa especially in South Africa? Cause she had a special tour there for Nelson Mandela, so that is possible, but stating nothing to her figure s in Africa is impossible! What is her status in Africa?

Hi,MJD
Based on ABPD, The Bodyguard never certified 3xPlatinum in Brazil. It was even never certified anything there. How do you estimate 825k copies there then?

Hi djdj!

It went 3xP in 2004 🙂

It's entered on their database with following information:
[CD] TSO O Guarda-Costas Diversos Intérpretes 2004 - BMG Brasil

MJD can you please make a Global Heatmap of Whitney Houston and also Celine Dion. ☺

The real Queen of pop, she out sold all her peers if she had any per album, she has the biggest selling album by a female and song from the same album! She was a mega star in music and movies which none of her peers can claim. She was truly our Supreme, a supernova!

If you are referring to Wikipedia, don't. Houston's wikipedia bio page and her related pages are full of untruths (lies). They try to make her out to be some kind of trailblazer for black female artists, with a Time Magazine article for reference - which states "she was no trailblazer"; the page even claims the writer goes on the list the various barriers she broke down. Which is false, the writer does no such thing. But it has been up on wikipedia for a decade. Wikipedia also claim IWALY has sold over 20 million copies.
