I just saw Clay get awarded his plaque for going DOUBLE PLATINUM IN ONE WEEK this morning on GMA. The guy who gave it to him (Clive Davis I believe?) said that he'd never given that to anyone after only one week. MWHAHAHAHAH.

J/W how much has the big black guy sold since he was the American Idol winner?

HuntingtonM15 · 10-22-2003, 08:31 PM

Are you referring to the single? According to Billboard's site, he sold about 613,000 copies of his album in the first week.

He must not be much of a winner if people are referring to him as the big black guy.

How much is platinum!?!!!? I

Clay.

I believe platinum is a million albums sold. So he couldn't have gone double platinum. But I think when you sell 500,000 you go gold, so he went gold in a week.

He did go double platinum. Platinum means million and it's only how many have been shipped.. so there's been a demand high enough for 2 million to be shipped. He didn't sell that many though. They said on ET last night tho that he had the 2nd best debut album in the last decade. They didnt even say who had the best.
