Jennifer Lopez’s ‘Rebirth’ Goes Platinum
Contributed by Babar:
Jennifer Lopez’s whose latest album REBIRTH had been named a flop, has been certified platinum in its seventh week of release. This should rest all doubts that the album is a flop. Jennifer’s last album was certified two times platinum. The album ‘Rebirth’ is currently on No.30.
I don’t think she is a flop ( I hate that word) but she just is not a several multi platinum artist.
She’s shipped a million copies, she hasn’t sold a million copies, so she’s not certified platinum yet.
so true, plus mariah’s sold more already in a week’, ‘jlos shipped a million and mariah’s almost sold a million so basicly mariah’s done better than J.Lo in a lot less time, wow am not surprised!
Actually shipping 1 million garners a platinum certification, and sales of 500K >’, ‘earns a gold certification.
RIAA doesn’t “certify” you platinum until you sell a million’, ‘You get a triangle on the chart yes, but you aren’t certified until you sell it. Don’t believe me? :) It’s ok we all need proof sometime. Go to billboard.com, clock on the Hot 200 albums, and on the left hand side there’s little sections, under the green one there’s a link for recent RIAA certifications, and then click on platinum, there’s a list of the recent artists added there, and at the bottom it tells you how to get on that list.
Hm well I don’t understand why this album was called a “flop.” Sure, it wasn’t her best selling album of her career, but I don’t think it was that bad when it first came out anyway. #30 is okay. Good for her for going platinum.
IT’S ABOUT TIME!’, ‘Well I must confess that I have two of Jennifer Lopez’s albums. This Is Me…Then & JLO. Personally I think out of the four albums (not including her Remixed album) I think JLO is the best. Rebirth is a step down from her very first album On The 6. Rebirth is definitely not her best work but, I am happy for her success. Even though she barely promoted it here in the States. I’ve previewed On The 6 & Rebirth. I don’t think it’s right for people to compare Jennifer to Mariah. They are two different people with two very different styles of music. Jennifer is more pop/r&b/Latin and Mariah is more pop/r&b/hip hop.
it’s flopped, compared to Mariah Carey’s sales, Mariah’s CD was number in the u.s., while, j-ho, did not. fact:, j-ho, can never beat Mariah’s record, when it comes to sales. j-ho such a loser.
it’s because they are used to see Mariah having her album selling millions of copies’, ‘here in the US. Most esp because her Music box sold 25M copies around the globe, that’s why they think her charmbracelet is a fop.
