Is It True That Sign O The Times Just Went Platinum If so, why? Do you think that is disappointing, aside from the songs and packaging? Check me out and add me on:

Huh? I thought it went at LEAST single-platinum within a few months of its release?! | |

I think silverchild means 'only just' went platinum, rather than 'just' went platinum. Or perhaps I'm wrong. _____ [This message was edited Thu Jun 24 15:29:05 2004 by Haystack] | |

Nope.....I went to www.rockonthenet.com and it said it just went platinum and its highest chart number was #6. [This message was edited Thu Jun 24 15:31:03 2004 by silverchild] Check me out and add me on:

Didn't see any info....
But was AMAZED at the top 50 albums of all time. There's some real stinkers on there...crap sells, I guess. No Madonna Albums???? I dunno I find that a little screwy. Better question...maybe someone knows this...what P albums have gone platinum? Musicology is about to any moment.

but i think sign o the times sold about 500.000 copies becuse it is a double album, like emncipation (triple) that sold only 600.000 it went triple platinium, understand?. | |

I just called out a life-line to friend who knows this...
There are different measures for double and triple albums. So platinum probably means that it broke the one million mark...though it was considered a platinum album to begin with. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Sign O The Times is a double album, that's true. But because its total time is less than 100 minutes, the RIAA did not count each CD like it did with Emacipation. So Sign O The Times is truly a PLATINUM album, and it went Platinum the year it was released in 1987. | |

i would say sign o the times has sold around two million copies in the usa up to now, four million worldwide. | |

Won't we ever get a single CD verison of SOTT?  The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I bought SOTT years ago and it had a little 'certified platinum' sticker on it then.  | |
