Double the 300000 plus copies because it's a double CD and his album is over 500000.

They do double it. Last week when Nas sold 250,000 or whatever, it was realy 125,000. RIAA doubles it first then releases it.

No
Those are Soundscan numbers, the number of actual copies sold.  When RIAA certifies an album they double those soundscan numbers for double CDs.

I don't think that's the case. Sorry I meant soundscan and not RIAA, since RIAA doesn't do the counting. My bad. I think when it's scanned it knows it's a double or some shit like that. I remember when Jay Z BP2 came out and every week it would show a big number and that number didn't double when it went to the billboard, and was certified at the number appeared on Billboard. Otherwise Blue Print 2 would be 6 platinum and we know that isn't the case.
