As for being certified platinum, I'm not sure if I'm right on this one (someone verify?) or if it applies in this instance, but I think there's a difference between being certified platinum for shipping one million units, and certified platinum for sales exceeding one million copies...
Jovi's album was a hit though, since it had a #1 (Country, lol) single, and H.A.N.D. was pretty big too.

Oh yes, you are correct, RIAA's certification is for 1M units shipped versus the Soundscan numbers for 1M units sold. I'd like to see the Soundscan numbers for each of the records but I don't have access to them.
