FYI and consideration…
Until 1975 an artist received a certified RIAA Gold Award — there were no Platinum RIAA Awards — for one million dollars worth of LP sales, or one million copies of a 45 single.
My how that has changed…
The RIAA recently announced that musical artist Rihanna has surpassed over 100 million Gold and Platinum song certifications, propelling her to number one on RIAA’s list of artists with the most Digital Single Awards.
The music has changed. The formats have changed.
But Gold and Platinum certifications still celebrate the sucess of music, and the artists who create it…
