Hi Denysanatol!

Tbh I don't know how you, Smiley or Tommy keep spotting these data glitches so precisely 🙂

After checking, his physical singles' CSPC units were saved inside the database as yearly trend sales, a simply column error. This is obviously false as they aren't selling anymore. I fixed it, tonight's batchs will sort out all these totals!

Thank You ! I just want to understand what I read . And I respect your work . Waiting for new updates and analyses . Happy New Year !

The Brazilian Record Association (PMB) began recertifying Roberto Carlos' albums last week. Nearly all of his albums were certified Gold and Platinum just last week, and from yesterday to today, they've been upgraded to Double Platinum, with some even reaching Triple Platinum certification. I think this is fantastic news, especially since the website now displays the album covers and release dates of each certified album. Since most of these albums were released before 2004, they're being certified based on sales of 100,000 copies for Gold, 250,000 for Platinum, and so on. Or am I wrong?

Hi AndrewMark!
I see now that 1981 went 12x diamond. With this in mind I'm pretty sure they use current levels which means 3.6m as it obviously hasn't sold 6m as old levels would suggest.
It also looks like both International sales (under CBS at least) and streams have been included.

Indeed, the situation is confusing. Roberto Carlos's album was released with an initial pressing of 2 million copies, as reported by reputable newspapers in Brazil. Therefore, if it was certified 12x diamond, that would imply 12 million copies in Brazil, which is quite unlikely. I sent messages on social media to PMB, but I don't think they will respond.
