meat needs to be certified
 

was just wondering is meat still with universal?
why i ask this is that since 1998 the very best of meat loaf has sold over 2m copies across europe, and the ifpi has not given him any platinum discs?
an artists record company must pay for and register for any artist to recieve any gold or platinum award, welcome to the neighbourhood recieved such an award in 1995, bat out of hell 3 has sold 900,000 copies across europe and will eventually get a european certification for 1m european sales
maybe not many will be interested but he should recieve recognition for 2m+ european sales for tvbo:D

also deadringer should be double platinum in the uk
hits out of hell has passed the million mark in the uk and should be triple platinum
also in the usa deadringer should be gold for 500,000 sales

and who/what is to say they haven't?

i say it, the internet say it, the bpi say it, the ifpi say it, riaa say it,
not sounding smart i hope, nobody has certified it

fair enough

again not meaning to sound smart, he he:D

bat3 only sold 0,9 mio copies in europe?

the VBO was released by Virgin, not Universal.

Before I go and dig up some info on this...I hope you do realize that the name of your thread in America would mean that Meat is crazy?

Being certified in America means that you are on the way of becoming a certified lunatic...that's what I thought your thread is about and started already boiling...LOL...

Alright...dug up some info...VBO is gold because it is certified only by RIAA that counts only American Sales - you're right, this album is registered only with RIAA...why? Who knows...

LMAO

Meat posted early in the year that he's changed record companies, and he's changed his management as well. Not sure which record company he is with now though, guess we'll find out when the new album comes out.

I thought the same thing when I saw the heading, and wondered what it was all about.

Carole

he he, i see what you mean" ooooops!!!!
thanks for the info about the change of record company:D

Yup is all I can say from above

Quite strange, the next release from Meat on the schedule for new material is set for 2009 and is with the same record company...

im pretty sure that one wont the BIACS

inside info [ trust me ]
even in the uk, alot of meats albums have to be updated?

So just putting that list in order (if it's accurate ;))

bat 1 = 3,089,000 10xp
bat 2 = 1,907,700 6xp
hooh = 1,084,000 3xp
dead r = 800,000 2xp
vbo = 662,000 2xp
wttn = 500,000 platinum
bat 3 = 391,114 platinum
mnlaf = 207,778 gold
bad att = 189,099 gold
chsib = 147,500 gold
bbis = 98,000 gold
live mso = 56,788 silver

I thought Bat3 would have been a couple of places higher and I've bet money on Bad Attitude selling more copies than Midnight At The Lost And Found.

Pud :twisted:

thanks for putting it in order, should of thought of that? oooops:D
i agree that i would have expected that bad att would have sold more in uk
although bad att sold twice mlaf worldwide

bad attitude sold over 1.3m ww, not bad for the dark 80,s
great album all the same

ps. i will try and send on the inside info if im allowed by my friend! he works somewhere that would know;)
