Cite "over 20 million records sold in the United States" (I may be paraphrasing but I hope you know what I mean) with " https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1052666609559414&id=GreenDay" - it is a post on the official band's Facebook page from 2024, stating that Dookie went double diamond (over 20 million records sold).
