well, just remember how long it took the old creed site to update when human clay sales started picking up. one day they were gold, then the next they were 2x platinum.
as for the news, i'm still skeptical. other than the things that say it has
shipped platinum, that riaa site says they were certified gold and platinum on the same day (12/14/05). that's weird. even in the possible, though extremely unlikey, event of an album selling 500,000 copies in one day, the new certification wouldn't have taken place until at least the next business day.
