SINCE YOU DON'T WANT TO COUNT DC's ACHIEVEMENTS... 2 SOLO CD's IT IS!

I'M SORRY BUT YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE...

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS... HOW CAN YOU HAVE THESE NUMBER 1 SINGLES ON BILLBOARD... YET THEY'RE NOWHERE ON THE LIST OF SELLING SINGLES? IS IT NORMAL FOR A #1 SINGLE NOT TO EVEN GO GOLD... THEREFORE NOT SHOW UP ON THE RIAA CERTIFICATIONS?

OFFICIAL RIAA CERTIFICATIONS AS OF 9/28/08
