Chart Action
RIAA/Sales
USA: "The Originals" was never certified by the RIAA. The first printing of 250,000 copies sold-old, leading to the "Second Printing." It's never been clear whether the individual album sales were simply added to those totals leading to the original album trilogy certifications in 1977.
