So I got to thinking … how many records have I actually sold and which ones are statistically my “biggest” … and so I had @SonyMusicAfrica & @vthseason tally up the numbers. And they are quite something.

So before I go off let me break it down for you. 120 streams = 1 unit. Of a song for instance. 10 000 units = Gold & 20 000 units = Platinum. 10X Platinum = 1 X DIAMOND ? … got it?
