      I wonder why Paul hasn't had his albums' RIAA certifications updated. Most of them only have the original certification. Dozens of years of U.S. sales aren't showing up, e.g. "Back to the a Egg" was last certified (platinum) on 18 July 1979.

      1976 Kansas City | 1990 Berkeley | 2002 Portland | 2005 Portland | 2013 Seattle | 2016 Portland

        As an Elvis fan, I can tell you that RIAA doesn't quite have its act together. There are TONS of Elvis albums that have gone Gold/Platinum several times over since their initial release/certifications, but the RIAA won't acknowledge those sales with much consistency. Frustrating.

          Good point. Though I don't think BTTE will have passed the 2 m mark, I'm wondering about Ram,V&M,Speed of Sound and also about Wild Life, Speedway, mccartney2 and Flaming Pie all 4 of which officially only reached Gold Status . Surely These albums still sold over the decades. The only Multi-platinum certifications Paul has gained since 1970 are for Mccartney and BOTR. Surely some of his other albums Must have sold additional copies in all the years after their release.

          There may be a POWER CUT and maybe I love you so, me I love you so, me I love you soooo....
