The FIMI Certification for 2016 has just arrived and surprisingly Michael Jackson best of “Number Ones” hit GOLD in the Italian version of RIAA.
Well, it is not a surprise to us fans as Michael Jackson’s music is clearly timeless and popular. Not a surprise that he is the King of Pop or should we say Re del Pop!
Anyway, another massive congratulation to Michael Jackson to have another certification 13 years after the release of this album!

So, in Italy…. this album is sooooooooo weak in sales…???
REALLY, only gold after 13 years of release?
I think you are missing the point that this is only for 2016 so having sold 25.000 copies for a 13 years old album, I’d say it is not bad!
remember, Italy has 70+ million people living in…. and :
ORO oltre le 25.000
PLATINO oltre le 50.000
DOPPIO PLATINO oltre le 100.000
TRIPLO PLATINO oltre le 150.000
QUADRUPLO PLATINO oltre le 200.000
5 PLATINO oltre le 250.000
DIAMANTE oltre le 500.000
.. so…. only 25 000 pieces in Italy?
And, The population of Italy is estimated at 61,070,224 as of July 1 2014.
