Certified units, compared
Every certification is a floor — a Platinum single in the UK means at least 600,000, and could be 1,190,000. This page adds those floors up for two records or two artists, at each certifying body's own published threshold, under identical rules.

How this is counted
One plaque per release per country
At its current tier. Gold → Platinum → 2× Platinum is the same sales recertified, never three sales.
Each body's own threshold
Streams-based bodies — the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Norway and Slovakia — are converted with the body's own published download-equivalence, never an estimate.
Not quite everything can be priced
Mexico and Sweden publish their song levels in streams and no download-equivalence — those certifications are converted at 100 streams to a unit, the ratio Denmark and Norway publish, and marked §. Colombia publishes no thresholds. Greece is priced at IFPI's June 2013 level — the last the umbrella body ever published for it — and marked ¶. Poland sets its single levels in złoty of revenue and states no rate; they are converted at 2 zł a single, the rate its own single tables used until the end of 2024, and marked ¶. Turkey has no certifying body: its certifications are issued by labels, priced at the one level a label there has published. The unpriced certifications are listed, never summed, and never hidden.
