meat needs to be certified

nikox1 · 07 Dec 2008, 13:43

was just wondering is meat still with universal?
why i ask this is that since 1998 the very best of meat loaf has sold over 2m copies across europe, and the ifpi has not given him any platinum discs?
an artists record company must pay for and register for any artist to recieve any gold or platinum award, welcome to the neighbourhood recieved such an award in 1995, bat out of hell 3 has sold 900,000 copies across europe and will eventually get a european certification for 1m european sales
maybe not many will be interested but he should recieve recognition for 2m+ european sales for tvbo

also deadringer should be double platinum in the uk
hits out of hell has passed the million mark in the uk and should be triple platinum
also in the usa deadringer should be gold for 500,000 sales

**allrevvedup** · 07 Dec 2008, 13:55

and who/what is to say they haven't?

nikox1 · 07 Dec 2008, 14:49

i say it, the internet say it, the bpi say it, the ifpi say it, riaa say it,
not sounding smart i hope, nobody has certified it

**allrevvedup** · 07 Dec 2008, 15:02

fair enough

nikox1 · 07 Dec 2008, 16:01

again not meaning to sound smart, he he

**RadioMaster** · 07 Dec 2008, 16:50

the VBO was released by Virgin, not Universal.

Before I go and dig up some info on this...I hope you do realize that the name of your thread in America would mean that Meat is crazy?

Being certified in America means that you are on the way of becoming a certified lunatic...that's what I thought your thread is about and started already boiling...LOL...

mszee · 07 Dec 2008, 17:48

Alright...dug up some info...VBO is gold because it is certified only by RIAA that counts only American Sales - you're right, this album is registered only with RIAA...why? Who knows...

**RadioMaster** · 07 Dec 2008, 18:19

LMAO

Meat posted early in the year that he's changed record companies, and he's changed his management as well. Not sure which record company he is with now though, guess we'll find out when the new album comes out.

Quite strange, the next release from Meat on the schedule for new material is set for 2009 and is with the same record company...

**RadioMaster** · 09 Dec 2008, 22:39

im pretty sure that one wont the BIACS

nikox1 · 14 Dec 2008, 21:42

UK SALES

bat 1 = 3,089,000 10xp
dead r = 800,000 2xp
mnlaf = 207,778 gold
bad att = 189,099 gold
hooh = 1,084,000 3xp
bbis = 98,000 gold
bat 2 = 1,907,700 6xp
wttn = 500,000 platinum
vbo = 662,000 2xp
chsib = 147,500 gold
live mso = 56,788 silver
bat 3 = 391,114 platinum

inside info [ trust me ]
even in the uk, alot of meats albums have to be updated?

Pudding · 16 Dec 2008, 02:54

So just putting that list in order (if it's accurate

)

bat 1 = 3,089,000 10xp
bat 2 = 1,907,700 6xp
hooh = 1,084,000 3xp
dead r = 800,000 2xp
vbo = 662,000 2xp
wttn = 500,000 platinum
bat 3 = 391,114 platinum
mnlaf = 207,778 gold
bad att = 189,099 gold
chsib = 147,500 gold
bbis = 98,000 gold
live mso = 56,788 silver

I thought Bat3 would have been a couple of places higher and I've bet money on Bad Attitude selling more copies than Midnight At The Lost And Found.

thanks for putting it in order, should of thought of that? oooops

i agree that i would have expected that bad att would have sold more in uk

bad attitude sold over 1.3m ww, not bad for the dark 80,s

nikox1 · 17 Dec 2008, 22:35
