Im saying that perhaps its possible that you heard wrong?
AFD
was certified 15 times platinum in 1998.
From this very site...
"March 16th, 1999 - GN'R were presented with the new Diamond Award from the RIAA, commemorating the sales of 15 million copies of "Appetite For Destruction". The award was accepted in New York by Steven Adler."

It hasn't been certified after July 1998. It was certified for 15 million then.
I guess it's possible that it had sold three or four million in five years.

yeah something like that..Geffen reported some years ago that worldwide number is 35 million copies..and AFD sells about half million copies every year + other GNR albums that number is around million copies/year worldwide

I think the reason they have not done another certification is because the RIAA does not initiate the certification process, the record label does. The label has to pay for each certification that is done. The fee is $350 dollars for each certification. So Geffen (who might make Axl pay for the certification) could continue to recertify the album for each extra million copies and spend $350 each time or they could wait a while (like they are doing) and recertify it when they feel the need (maybe at 20 million or after CD is released and they certify CD). That way they only have to spend $350 dollars once on AFD, because if multiple sales levels are simultaneously certified, only one audit certification fee is charged. I know it does not sound like spending $350 dollars is much...but if they spent $350 on certifications for 16,17,18,19 and 20 million or just waited for 20 million they would save $1400 dollars. That is just on one album for one artist. I am certain it has sold at least another million copies in the US....probably more like 2.5 to 3.5 million. From early 1995 to July of 1998 (3.5 years) it sold 2 million copies....I'm sure its regualr sales jumped during the Live Era release and during the tour last year...so it is possible it could be around 17 to 19 million as of now in the US. I am looking for the worldwide numbers right now and will post when I find them.

Steven accepted the RIAA diamond award in 1999 commemorating the 10x Platinum certification of AFD. And yes, it is certifed 15x Platinum.

Yes, that record has been certified at 12 million in the U.S.

I read that AFD still sells 5,000 a week in the U.S. alone.
