UPDATE 9/28/2021 The album has only been certified Gold... hm...
riaa.com/gold-platinum/?share=23579

So it will be counted as a double disc album by RIAA. Basically, for RIAA only (not Billboard) it will double it's sale units.

So if it moves say 500K album units, RIAA will count it as 1M.

This will not affect first week as that is counted by Billboard rather than RIAA. Billboard does not follow these rules.

It will only affect GOLD/PLATINUM certifications.

Note that the standard version needs to be over 100 minutes. Which it is. Pretty rare these days as usually with the Deluxe albums are over 100 minutes.

and they tried to clown @MCN

Is this really how it works?

not worth my time then lol

Let op make his thread why yall sound so salty

Way too much; they stay thinking about streams and not about the quality and replayability of the albums

fr why they complaining for

5 years it took for a kanye album longer than 30 min

we made it

Nerds that think Fantanos opinion matters always mad af about sales for no reason

A double disc? Too much filler, take side A and side B cut it down to a solid 7 tracks and it could possibly be a classic

What happened to ktt complaining about albums being too long?

Is this why Chris Brown released a 3 and a half hour deluxe album

yes LMAOOO. Chris abuses this

yes
