Further research

• For information about what makes a platinum album, see RIAA certification.
• Multi-disc albums count one for each disc in these figures, which accounts for the many double (or more) albums in the list.
• Albums from the mid-1960s and before are underrepresented due to the smaller album buying market of that time; albums from the Napster era on are underrepresented due to the decline in conventional album sales.
