I wonder whether there is a record kept, of the “silver/gold/platinum” official status for each of GT’s/Marie’s/Per’s albums in Sweden, both in the year each album was released and today?... Anyone who has some info on this, that can share?... Or perhaps knows of any site, where such info may be found?...
Thank you! :)

Thank you very very much, Ingo, for your reply! :) Actually, it was for Gyllene Tider’s and both Marie’s and Per’s solo albums that I was particularly after this info, yet it was certainly most interesting to have it for Roxette’s! :) So interesting that you even made me curious, as mentioning Tylösand... :P So I wonder if I may dare to share my curiosity with you?... I mean, forgive me for that, but... I really can’t resist to ask it! :P Do you remember/know of which countries there are awards hanging on Tylösand?...

Yes they were from a lot of countries and I made fotos of many of them. Most were from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Austria, USA, GB,...

So, thank you again, Ingo! :) (I was quite curious whether there might eventually be any from Portugal... :P)
And, if anyone does happen to have any info on either GT’s/Marie’s/Per’s albums, that’d be most appreciated still... Thank you. :)

In Sweden the numbers, NOW, are:
Singles
Gold 15,000
Platinum 30,000
Albums
Gold 40,000
Platinum 60,000
This has been lowered at least twice, for instance, when Joyride was out the limits were 50,000/100,000.
