Very interesting list. I was impressed how some of the CD's that just came out at the begining of October were actually higher than CD's that had been out much longer than it.

So sad that Chingy sold more than Lil' Jon AND Staind lol. The Outkast CD did really well for it being pretty much a months worth of sales.

34 Life For Rent Dido (2,597,000) is pretty impressive too.
For all you broken hearted lovers lost, go find another one. 'Cause you know time won't wait and you'll be late, white rabbits on the run...

The status for platinum in Australia and other countries is different than it is in the U.S. ... I believe Australia is 500,000 copies for platinum.
