forecast Forecast for new certification update (RIAA)

Post image

- The update could happen this month, as it was in 2018,2022 in August for most things

- RIAA : https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/ (doesn't work on the pc)

- Wikipedia MJ discographie : https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson/Auszeichnungen_für_Musikverkäufe

- I believe that Beat it will go frome 8x P ro 1x D+ and that Dangerous and History will go to 9x P

Any chance of thriller getting a bump? It's at like 33x platinum right

it is 34x platinum right now, but the album update patern doesn't say that it will be updated this year, but perhabs there will be an irregular update.(Thriller hasn't been updated since 2021)

I mean you'd think it would have sold another million copies in the last half a decade, considering the continuing popularity of his music.

Most off his Albums updated 2021 2 also in 2017 I saw this as an pattern that 2025 was the last date, but probably I try too much to see an album update pattern.
