"Other artists to get a nod from CRIA include The Tragically Hip, whose latest, In Between Evolution, hit platinum (100,000 units (sold), for you math underachievers)."

I consider that good news. It's not record breaking, but it shows the base is still strong.

Thanks for that.

That album deserves to go beyond platinum, its an amazing record, well done! That begs a question which album has sold the most? Ive forgotten. :oops:

I tried that "Mr. Searchy" thing that a lot of people can't figure out, and I found this thread: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://forum.hipbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=2840">http://forum.hipbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=2840</a><!-- m --> which has the counts. Smile (And by the way Dame, 'twas you who posted the counts.)

Yes; It was certified Platinum in September.

There was an article on canoe.ca a little while back that had all the sales stats. One album was diamond (1 million + sold), I'm pretty sure it was Up To Here, but Road Apples and Fully were both close.

Ah, Mr. Searchy, is there anything he can't do...

What does metallurgy have to do with math?

Unless I'm missing the implied sarcasm.... Not everyone knows what "Platinum" status represents in terms of units sold. :thumb:

I picked up on the sarcasm Chris. I did not know how many sales platinum status was, but I do know the quadratic formula...

You know, the other day I was trying to figure out how many square inches in a certain circular object. I couldn't remember the basic formula...is it diameter times pi squared?? circumference times pi?? your phone number multiplied by your age and divided by your favourite hockey player's jersey number?? why can't I remember this elementary information?!
