Queens' Generation gets certified "Million".

Girls’ Generation’s first Japanese album, “Girls’ Generation”, surpassed one million copies shipped. The Recording Industry Association of Japan has now officially certified the album as a million shipper, making Girls’ Generation only the second Korean artist after BoA to receive this certification.

Girls’ Generation’s first Japanese album was praised by critics and fans alike for its distinct electronic sound that really stood apart from their previous work. The album continues to sell thousands of copies a week, passing over 850,000 copies sold on the Oricon chart and showing how much lasting appeal Girls’ Generation has in Japan.

The certification comes just ahead of their next Japanese single, “Paparazzi”, set to be released on June 27th.

Does shipped mean sold though? Just curious.
Either way well done girls, Japanese album was great so not surprised <3

From what I've gathered, it generally means shipped/sold to retailers. (CD shops need to buy the product from the distributor, they don't just ship out copies and wait for them to sell the product.)

Note that their official total from Oricon is 850K, but that doesn't account for total sales; yes most, but not all. Not all stores are registered with Oricon (ie one thing that nobody really thinks about is Japan has tons of cd rental store (like a movie rental or library) that is also buying the cds, but wouldn't show up on oricon) and many events where they aren't sold through retailers, but through the company (SMTWON, SNSD concerts), also don't get a full counts. So, while they "shipped/sold to retailers" 1 million and "sold" 850K to the general public, it probably actually closer to the millions in sales with the public. Either way, they have made a profit off on 1 million cds.

Well...I am asking myself if I am I such a fan that I need to add the caveats...

Yes I am

Junsu was only on the chart for 17 days and had no promotions plus a banned MV while TTS had the entire month.

New MV? Would this be for the album that isn't being sold conventionally? Is it on her website or something?
