I wonder, why are Australian sales so low? It's a pretty big region, but the platinum and gold standards aren't really challenging. Delta went like 14x Platinum but she sold a little less than a million. Weird..

Our sales are so low because the population of Australia is only 21 million people. Our land mass is almost the same size as mainland America and they have 300 million people.
Our music market would be powerful if we had a bigger population.
It's all a shame really
