I believe that recertification is done by the RIAA on request.  ie - GNR or the label pays to have AFD recertified.

This could mean that the recertification is being done in the interests of promotion.

So Appetite has sold MORE than 5.000 copies a week for the last 10 years.

It sold 26.000 copies a week from 87 through 98 if my math skills serves me right.

Pretty fuckin' amazing if you ask me.

Wonder how many copies it sold a week from 87 through 93?...

It was actually Boston's debut album with 17 million sold.... but this officially moves Appetite to number one.   ok

I heard it was Hootie and the Blowfishes debut, i could be wrong, but as proven that didn't have the lasting staying power as Appetite, so Appetite reclaimed the title

Hell! That's about 25'000 AFD sold each month in the last 10 years.

Stack 'em on top of each other and you get a mean looking tower!!

Picture it!   beer

Edit:  well not exactly "mean looking", but a really high tower....   Wink

AFD is timeless.
The attitude of that record can related to on so many levels which is why it remains highly relevant to this day.

It's amazing that the RIAA could jump the album from 15 to 18 million copies. It's pretty much the second most successible Hard Rock album in history behind ACDC Back in Black. I think over time, it could become a TOP 10 best seller.

I don't forsee any future competition given that this format of music (albums) is almost a relic and a thing of the past, unfortunately.
