HIStory debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts selling over 391,000 copies in its first week. [76] [77] In its second week, the album stayed at the top with 263,000 copies sold, a decline of 33%. [78] In its third week, it slipped to number 2 with 142,000 copies sold, a 46% decline. [79] However, the album spent just six weeks at the top 10, selling over one million copies in total. [80] By the end of 1995, the album had sold more than 1.9 million units. According to SoundScan, the set fell short of many observers' expectations. Eventually, as of 2009, the album had sold 2.5 million copies in the United States (5 million units in total). [81] [82] The album has further sold 730,000 copies through BMG music club as of February 2003. [83] The album was certified eight times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on August 23, 2018, in the United States. [84] Because HIStory is a double disc album, its CDs are therefore counted separately for certification purposes, meaning the album achieved platinum status in the United States after 500,000 copies were shipped, not one million. a b "Album Review: HIStory" Q Magazine".
