It's sold just under 5 million worldwide. In NZ, platnum is something like 50,000 copies sold. I know in some other countries it's as low as 5,000.

Plat and Gold are different in other countries.
For some, it's 100,000 and 50,000 - not a million for platinum.

According to that, Chinese Democracy has sold AT LEAST 25 million copies. (Platinum=1 million and Gold=500,000)

Here's the link for the figures above, which come from a Canadian Arena's web site where one of the concerts is scheduled...

Epic fail, or should I say forign country fail.

If you would have to sell 1 million albums to reach platinum status in norway you would have to sell a record to 1/4 of the people in norway, Seeing that we are only about 4,6 million people.

I wish 1/4 of norways population bought it, becouse then people would know what the hell I'm listening to.

25 million would make it one of the top selling albums of all time. Is this topic a fucking joke? Nobody with a functioning brain believes ChiDem has sold anywhere near 25 million copies worldwide. I think the 5 million worldwide might be pushing it, let alone 25 fucking million.

Albums that have sold 25 million:

Artist ↓ Album ↓ Released ↓ Genre ↓ Sales (millions) ↓ Source ↓
Britney Spears United States ...Baby One More Time 1999 Pop 25 [35]
Iron Butterfly United States In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida 1968 Rock 25 [36]
Mariah Carey United States Daydream 1995 Pop / R&B 25 [37]
Queen United Kingdom Greatest Hits 1981 Rock 25 [38]
Simon & Garfunkel United States Bridge over Troubled Water 1970 Folk Rock 25 [39]
U2 Republic of Ireland The Joshua Tree 1987 Rock 25 [40]
Whitney Houston United States Whitney Houston 1985 Pop / R&B 25 [10]

Is there an ignore feature we can use to block posters? If you are on a GNR site, and you are not a Slash fan, you are a stone cold dope.-Sonofabitch
