hate to say it, but it took this long to go platinum? for all the hype of waiting for an album to drop? those two songs have been in the top 20 on the r&b charts since last year. i'm kinda shocked.

In these times, platinum is very good.

Considering the level of downloading and pirating, yes it does take this long to go platinum sometimes. It was still a #1 album, debuting in that spot.

Congrats to Maxwell

Exactly, i mean look at Katy Perry's Album. its sold 1.2 million and that shit had 2 HUGE songs that were played up the ass, she was everywhere, on every freaking award show etc...Folks its a new day, it takes awhile to sell, we need to drop the 2000 mentality of things selling a million in a week or a day, its over.

congrats to Maxwell

the 90's are no more so its one hell of an accomplishment to go platinum now

Nick715 said:

Indeed Maxwell is doing just fine.

People like Mariah and Rihanna are not seeing these numbers.

that's great

Get it Maxwell

Is this his first?

midiscover said:

His studio albums have all went platinum (UHS 2x), and Unplugged went Gold.

I must say this man's album is so worthy of platinum status. I just hope the next album stays on schedule.

Awesome!

Congrats Max!

Fury said:

These days it's a feat to reach platinum status within this period. Plus I'm thankful I'm witnessing this success in the R&B/Soul scene.

Go, Maxwell! He's one of the few mainstream R&B artists who still has an old-school sensibility to making music and performing, so I'm happy to see him do well.

I was kind of worried that if the album had bombed, we wouldn't get the next two installments.

Next up, Grammies.

Why did they say the album was a failure?

No one said it failed. Somebody just mentioned that they are surprised that it only moved 1 million copies.

The way music is selling now he did good , he didn't have to put out a ringtone or anything

Considering the times and how long he's been gone, that's very impressive. It's almost impossible to try and compare with the last album now of days. Sales are just too far down all over. Good for him.
