Well, RIAA has answered us! Glad they cleared it up

We know they track shipments.

Exactly, doesn't mean the artist SOLD what they shipped, just means they SHIPPED that amount.
Billboard/SoundScan records how much they've SOLD, RIAA records have much they've shipped.

Usher back in 2012 finally SOLD  10 million copies of Confessions, but he got a diamond plaque for it years prior.
and look what they used as it's source?

Usher's 2004 "Confessions" album hits a milestone sales achievement this week, surpassing 10 million in U.S. sales according to Nielsen SoundScan

But RIAA gave him a Diamond plaque even though he didn't

SHIP doesn't equal SALE

Another example of RIAA inaccuracy
Beyonce's debut finally scanned 5 million copies back in 2015, but it still certified as 4x Plat

Beyonc??s debut solo album Dangerously In Love has now sold more than 5 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music.

Another example
of Sales vs Shipments

Billboard has Mariah Carey sales for

Oh right ? your question. Carey's day job! Here's a look at the U.S. album sales, according to SoundScan for Carey, the solo artist with the most Hot 100 No. 1s (18) in the chart's history:

7,605,000, "Daydream" (1995)
7,271,000, "Music Box" (1993)

but the RIAA has both albums at Diamond

I'd say a company like UPS or FedEx would be "shipment oriented".

That's their speciality.

They would be the carrier/delivery mess

But what we're talking about is the tallying of the AMOUNT shipments made--and THAT being the determining factor for why RIAA hands out certs.

I jus.........

Can somebody explain why he wants SALES info from riaa when they do CERTIFICATIONS only?

but the certs are drawn up from sales And other factors

when is the last time a record company has actually shipped out physical CDs for, say, a single?

Y'all need to refresh your browsers. This ain't the 1999, mya rugrsts theme song flop release party. RIAA don't operate in that way no more

Why'd u say this if u didn't wanna get technical about procedures and practices

Nicki is the 2nd most certified female rapper in history.

Missy ain't touchin ha, Shim ain't touchin ha

Didn't ya'll say Missy sold more?

And then when people corrected and  informed yo simple ass, u broke right into stubborn, cant admit to being wrong mode. You're an idiot.  Take the L and move on
