Mandatory Fun Chart Watch

Or do those certifications only apply to stateside sales anyway?

How long did Lynwood take to get certified? Something like 6-9 months, yes?

*Every country has it's own certifications. For example, for an album to go Gold in the UK it needs to sell 100,000 copies in the UK. 500,000 sales in the US is a Gold US album.

*Straight Outta Lynwood went Gold April 7, 2007, so just over 6 months.

I think we're looking at another week in the top 40. Decent legs on this one.

Hits is in....down to 31 (The opposite of last week....could slip down on the official Billboard count), but indeed still top 40.
