After checking the numbers this is what I see.

Escape should be 10X Platinum (Diamond)
The Essential Journey should be 2X Platinum
Journey in Houston (DVD) should be 2X Platinum
Live In Manila (DVD) should be Platinum

Thanks for the info. Where do you find the up-to-date numbers, other than from the RIAA website?

Most of the info is accessible on the web. You just have to know what are fanboy numbers and what are actually real sales figures.

Yup, those numbers sound right. Here are a few more:

Greatest Hits 16 XP-->Sales of 16,441,718 (Currently 15 XP)
Greatest Hits DVD 6 XP--> Sales of 596,000 (Currently 4 XP)
Greatest Hits Live 1 XP--> Sales of 885,000+ (Number needs updating and is higher than this) Its currently certified Gold.

*Total Current Albums Sales: 47 million
*Uncertified Album Totals:
-GH 1 million
-Essential 1 million
-Escape 1 million
-Greatest Hits Live 500,000
Total: 3.5 million undercertified units
*Total Current Album Sales with uncertified figures should be 50-50.5 million

RIAA doesnt provide actual sales figures for albums, just certifications. If you want actual figures for albums, music videos, and singles you have to refer to Neilsen Soundscan.
