But as I've said, the full videos colorized are awful. The source are the original youtube videos.
I was checking how great Mariah's team has been recently with her career and how they have worked their asses off to actually go back and re-certify old singles, some albums etc. To the point she's actually now ahead of Madonna even though we know who has sold the most.
So, i've been trying to figure out what albums could get more certifications but it's kind of hard to do it specially for material pre-soundscan era (1992) but still, i'll try.
Give me a hand with it and i'll update the OP with your infos in case mine are wrong:
ALBUMS:
You Can Dance - over 1.8M copies sold, possibly more. a 2 x Platinum certification has been talked about for years. (Now certified: Platinum)
Like a Prayer - over 4.5M sold. I'm almost sure under the new metrics and with streaming numbers for this album material, it could be certified 5 x Platinum right? (Now certified: 4 x Platinum)
The Immaculate Collection - This is the most obvious case. Certified Diamond (10 x Platinum) but it could be at leasr 12 x Platinum. It's missing 2 Platinum certifications for sure by now (Now certified: Diamind)
Ray of Light - Certified 4 x Platinum. Last confirmed sales were 4.9M if i remember it right. a 5 x Platinum certification is long overdue. (Now certified: 4 x Platinum)
Confessions On A Dancefloor - Last confirmed sales were over 1.8M. Shipments included + streaming points it could push it to 2 x Platinum (Now certified: Platinum)
Hard Candy - Over 800k sold. Streaming points + shipments for the album, plus 4 Minutes success, i think it's safe to say a Platinum certification is possible for it by now. (Now certified: Gold)
Possible certifications to be added: 6.5M in album certifications missing from her.
SINGLES:
Borderline - Confirmed sales of around 950k. Could be Platinum by now (Now certified: Gold)
Like a Virgin - Confirmed sales of around 2.4M. Could be 2 x Platinum (Now certified: Gold)
Material Girl - Sales are over 1M. It has no certification when it should be at least Platinum.
Crazy For You - Sales of over 1.6M Should be Platinum. (Now certified: Gold)
Angel - Sold over 1M. (Now certified: Gold)
Dress You Up - Sold over 600k. Should be Gold. (Not Certified)
Live To Tell - Sold over 800k. Should be Gold. (Not Certified)
Papa Don't Preach - Sold around 1M copies. Should be Platinum (Now certified: Gold)
Open Your Heart - Sold over 670k. Should be Gold. (No Certification so far)
La Isla Bonita - Sold over 780k. Should be Gold or honestly...even Platinum at this point considering its streaming points. (No certification so far)
Who's That Girl - Sold over 550k. Should be Gold. (No certification so far)
Causing A Commotion - Sold over 480k. Some streaming points, and an update on these sales could possibly allow it to be Gold by now. (No certification so far)
Like a Prayer - Sold over 2.4M. It should be at least 2 x Platinum. Possibly even a 3 x Platinum considering its one of Madonna's biggest streaming hits. (Now Certified: Platinum)
Cherish - Sold over 600k. Should be Gold. (No Certification so far)
Vogue - Sold over 2.9M. Madonna's best selling physical single ever in the USA. With streaming points, it could be 3 x Platinum by now. (Certification: 2 x Platinum)
This Used to Be My Playground - Over 1M units sold. Should be Platinum. (Certification: Gold)
Frozen - Around 950k sold. With streaming points it could be Platinum. (Certified: Gold)
Ray of Light - Sold over 1.1M. Should be Platinum (Certified: Gold)
The Power of Goodbye - 490k confirmed sale. Not sure how updated they are. With a few sales and streaing points, a Platinum certification is possible by now. (No certification)
Die Another Day - sales of over 500k. Should be Gold. (No Certification so far)
4 Minutes - Sales of over 3.1M. Should be certified 3 x Platinum. (Certified: 2 x Platinum)
Possible certifications to be added: Up to 15M in single certifications missing from her. (the most optimistic bet)
It's incredible how her 80's hits were completely forgotten by Warner Bros, even while Madonna was with them.
