Lil Wayne and Rappers with most Platinum solo albums

Certified is official. meaning the label has got a plaque.
Eligible means it has sold 1M records (in some cases estimated to have) but has not officially been certified.

Basically you can have sold 1M and been eligible, but it's not officially platinum until the label updates it.

Also a lot of times blogs etc go by RIAA because its easier than getting numbers for each album etc. So if someone looked at RIAA tha carter 1 is only gold, C2 plat, C3 3x plat, C4 2x plat etc and lollipop is 5x plat etc. but for people who always update like drake take care is 6x plat so it looks like it did double what C3 did. And im the one by dj khaled always gets updated so its 8x plat so it is wayne highest certified song.

Basically not updating plaques makes wayne look bad

how i know rebirth is eligible for plat is because it "On September 5, 2011, the album has sold 775,000 in the United States" (source wikipedia)
that total is just physical copies and then riaa has drop the world at certified 4x plat so just right there thats over 1.1 million units.


Ianahb did over 900k in physicals and right above it is 2x plat so thats 1.1 million just right there etc
(source wikipedia and riaa)


C3 did 4 million and 3 million in tea units so its 3 eligible for 7x plat (source chart data)

why would waynes team not want to update his sales?

why would waynes team not want to update his sales?

money, time, energy and or they dont care

also its possible they cant update non YM (2018+) stuff but just my theory

They updated C5 in january when it was eligible in november. They also updated uproar to platinum then but didn't give mona or dont cry a certification when they were eligible.

For comparison, Cardi B team updated WAP a few days after it hit platinum. Drake really only updates his album and the singles
