Hey can somebody show me where I can find album sales at on RIAAS website

[FlowerBomb]

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 didn?t make the claim in the topic title and tell you guys to fetch the info in my OP.

It?s not my responsibility to prove a claim made by someone else in an attempt to contradict me lol.

We said before that Missy outsold Nicki and backed it up with a Billboard link
You said she didn't
Why don't you prove us wrong with a soundscan link

HE said that Missy is the top selling female rapper of all time.
I simply requested Soundscan links to prove it. That's all.

and he did, via Billboard, do you have anything that trumps that?

[Vonc2002]

I never said I was on a mission to prove anything from Soundscan .

This thread was about RIAA certs. My link's in the OP.

Then why'd u say this

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

Didn't ya'll say Missy sold more?

That's not what I requested.

You can't get Soundscan or RIAA links from another website.

Well that's what you got
Billboard is the only one authorized to do so, and they did, which he posted.
If you want to a pay a fee and get them youself

Huh? I posted an RIAA link with relevant data in the OP and I'm not a Billboard writer/employee.

Get me the links I requested, and my damn true/false mess.

Ok I'll dumb it down for you

Billboard and ONLY Billboard has access to soundscan.
He posted what you wanted via Billboard, no one can get info from Soundscan, only Billboard. That's why you've been avoiding my requests to log in and find out because you... cant.

[FlowerBomb]

and if Billboard isn't good enough all of a sudden, I don't wanna see you see use their numbers in defense of Nicki ever again

[FlowerBomb]

Why do you keep referring to Soundscan only , as if I didn't give more than one option? lol

Because RIAA isn't accurate when it comes to sales, only sound-scan is.
Which was proved from page 1 up until now, a fact you conveniently decided to skip over
