Inflated sales for Barrio Fino
Hi I noticed your edits to Barrio Fino, but I had to revert them because 8 million units is way to inflate it for an album that's only been certified only over a million copies. Also in regards to riaa, 600,000 units from the Latin certification is less than the standard 1 million so there is no need to change the US certification. If you have any questions please let me know. Erick (talk) 02:00, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, the album sold 8 million copies estimated at 2019. https://www.univision.com/shows/premio-lo-nuestro/daddy-yankee-hara-historia-en-premio-lo-nuestro-2019-junto-a-otros-grandes-del-reggaeton-fotos Certificated by RIAA 6x Platinum (Latin), 1 millon Platinum. https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&se=Barrio+Fino+#search_section

Yes, I saw the sources, but where is Univision getting the 8 million sales from? The last reputable source has it at 2 million copies, so where is the extra 6 million coming from? Edit: Also want to add that record labels have a tendency to exaggerate sales.

And as for the Riaa cert:

Standard platinum= 1 million

6x Latin platinum (before 2013) = 600,000

Since 600,000 is less than a million, it makes no sense to change to a lower figure. Erick (talk) 02:25, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

"Friend" the album sold 8 million copies estimated at 2019 acording to Univision or La Nación.
 * Yes, I believe that was established at the beginning, but that doesn't answer my question. Latin album sales declined in the 2000s, for reference, Shakira's Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 sold 4 million copies, so how can Barrio Fino be double that when its total certified units don't come close to that?

Barrio Fino the album latin most sold decade 2000's acording to Billboard. https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/daddy-yankee-on-gasolina-barrio-fino-reggaeton-10-years-later-i-knew-it-was-a-home-6207108/


 * That's in the US only and it's only sold over a million copies (as noted by Nielsen SoundScan and already sourced in the article). That doesn't mean it sold 8 million elsewhere however. A more reputable source would be Billboard, not Univision or La Nación as they don't state where they're getting their numbers from. Erick (talk) 02:57, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
