This is NOT Chaka’s first platinum record! Where are you getting your information from? She’s sold upwards of 75 million records! 4 of her solo singles/ albums are now platinum and most of the Rufus and Chaka singles and albums are now platinum. They were presented with certifications on tv! This is so misleading and really speaks volumes of your journalistic integrity! Especially as the info is out there! Riaa has some of her certifications…even though it’s not up to date and some info isn’t taken into consideration and factored in correctly..Like, GOLD certifications prior to 1977 were actually 1 million records sold….
