Why would they grant him over an extra million copies just because they were shipped? Maybe there was a bunch of internet orders that don't get counted in sound scan. Internet orders usually wouldn't since it wouldn't be part of the 17,000 stores that have soundscan. Otherwise I don't get why they would assume a whole extra platinum. I mean if it were 3.6 or up then fine, but being just under 3 and being placed at 4 is a huge stretch.

Well this makes sense because that is how many albums were shipped to stores so they know he will eventually sell that much anyways so they jstu certified him cause right now he is at 2.9 million but of course he shoudl hit 4 million in another couple of months and they usually certify every month, so the snoop shoudl be certified 2x platinum soon too but he is only at at million but liek eminem he will soon reach the 2 million either way.
