Now you know!

technically certifications are based on shipments not hard sales and since legend has sold nearly 10.6 million copies in the US it should be certified 11x platinum amazingly though it’s only double platinum in canada for 200,000 copies shipped and that cert was nearly 22 years ago 9/19/1989 unlike for example Whitney Houston’s self titled debut released in February 1985 and certified 9x platinum for 900,000 shipped in Canada on November 18th 1986 or Mariah Carey’s self titled Debut which was certified 7x platinum for 700,000 shipped in Canada on April 30th 1996 or Daydream was on May 23rd 1997
