Joyride goes double platinum in Finland
Written by roxeteer on September 20, 2001 to Sales & Charts.
HELSINKI - EMI Finland reports that Roxette’s album “Joyride” has sold 100,000 copies in Finland and gone double platinum. “Joyride” was released in 1991.
Record companies’ national trade organization has frequently lowered the limits for achieving gold and platinum records in Finland. For example, “Crash! Boom! Bang!” and other albums released after January 1994 only have to sell 80,000 copies to achieve double platinum. For “Room Service” and Roxette’s forthcoming albums the limit is only 60,000.

I thought the platinum limit was 40,000 copies for “Joyride” as well... That means it’s gone double platinum a long time ago. Not 100% sure though...
Oh, and “Room Service” has now sold gold (15,000 units).
