yeah US numbers, those kind of number look like soundscan numbers, and have never really the best guide for total sales, and only contain a large fraction of total sales

sonic youth still have not ahd ANY album go gold in the USA, and that is 500,000 sales.

the closest ones were EJST&NS and Dirty.
