Commercial Performance
A week after its commercial release, Nina Live! went certified Gold, selling over 15,000 units in the Philippines. It turned Platinum in its third week of release, and double platinum in less than two months. Even before the second commercial single "Through the Fire" was released, the album was already triple platinum, eventually selling more than 90,000 units in the country. Before 2005 ended, the album was certified 6× Platinum by the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI), with over 180,000 copies sold and becoming one of the fastest-selling Filipino albums in history. In August 2006, it reached 7× Platinum, with sales of 210,000 copies. In November 2007, the album sold over 240,000 units, and was awarded an 8× Platinum certification by the PARI in ASAP '08 on March 9, 2008. Early in 2009, it was reported to have sold more than 260,300 copies in the country.
After four years since its release, the album still managed to sell an additional 40,000 units, which equaled to double platinum (with PARI's April 2009 criterion). The 8× Platinum it has received in 2008 and the 2× Platinum it received with PARI's new guidelines were, then, added. On October 11, 2009, Nina Live! was awarded a Diamond (10× Platinum) certification on ASAP '09 for selling more than 280,000 units in the Philippines, making Nina the first female OPM artist to achieve the feat. She is also the third OPM artist to receive a Diamond award, behind Jose Mari Chan and the Eraserheads.
To date, the album has sold more than 300,000 units, and still makes appearances on various album sales charts. It is currently the fourth biggest-selling album in OPM history, as well as the biggest-selling live OPM album.

Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or performance:
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share. It destroyed an institution that was their destruction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (18331901)
“The honor my country shall never be stained by an apology from me for the statement of truth and the performance of duty; nor can I give any explanation of my official acts except such as is due to integrity and justice and consistent with the principles on which our institutions have been framed.”
—Andrew Jackson (17671845)
