Interesting. Couple of comments/questions:
Taylor was certified platinum on Jan. 17, 2007. I haven't found how many he had sold on that day, but I did find a reference for Feb. 15 (a month later) showing he had only sold about 623,000 on that day.
So they had shipped a million by January, and there were still about 367,000 sitting on store shelves a month later. And now, about 10 months after his certification, there are still more than 300,000 sitting on store shelves.
Have they ever taken back a certification? This CD is clearly not ever going to hit a million selling 200 a week. No offense to Taylor Hicks fans; I'm one, too.
If Kellie had had that many CDs sitting on shelves, I bet she'd be platinum for sure by now, and that certification alone would boost her sales right now in the shopping season.
