Going For Gold

Going on previous rate of sales for 'An Afternoon In The Garden' and 'The Essential Elvis' (2CD) Brian Quinn made a conservative extrapolation and estimate their sales as of this week are:
  • 'An Afternoon In The Garden' - 498,098 Units. Estimated gold qualification within 2 weeks.
  • 'The Essential Elvis' (2 CD) - 972,734 Units (including double sales under RIAA rules). Estimated platinum qualification around March, 2013.
  • The 'Christmas Duets' sales are difficult to predict but as of 8th September, 2012 were 490,322 Units.
