Awful name as well.
Album sales are counted by how many the record company sells to distributors and major companies directly, not by how many are bought in shops.

If Samsung buy a million copies and they only sell one it's still classed as a platinum album based on the record company selling a million to Samsung.

What happens to the other 999,999 copies is Samsungs problem.
