Chingy's Jackpot album went triple platinum
4 of those are double albums too, isn't that counted as 5 million each disc?
good point - yes they are
Quote:
Multi-disc[edit]
Multi-disc albums are counted once for each disc within the album if it is over 100 minutes in length or is from the vinyl era. For example, each copy of The Smashing Pumpkins's Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (running time of 121:39), OutKast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (running time of 134:56), and Shania Twain's Up! (145:44), all double albums, were counted twice, meaning each album was certified diamond after 5 million copies were shipped. Pink Floyd's The Wall and The Beatles' White Album, both vinyl-era, are also counted double even though their running times are under the minimum requirement.

Your brain makes decisions up to 10 seconds before you're even aware of it. Some scientists claim this is evidence that free will is just an illusion.
A study showed watching Spongebob for just 9 minutes had a immediate negative influence on kid's attention, memory and problem solving skills.
Memories can be so easily manipulated that a study took place in which researchers were able to convince 70% of participants in under 3 hours that they committed a crime that never happened. The participants not only confessed but gave accurate details of experiences that never happened.
Researchers estimate that if there was a zombie outbreak in New York, everyone would be zombies in 24 hours. People outside the cities would have a month to prepare. The northern rockies would be the safest place to be.
