US. Platinum, Gold Singles Thread

Nirvaηa

Hello People, I make this thread because actually nobody knows about the RIAA Certification because the database of the main page of the RIAA is not working well, I saw that here in Popfusion specially in the US Billboard Thread, someone post the downloads of the singles. So I don't know How singles are gold now and for this I need your help! please I will make a list with the Platinum and Gold Singles. What's your opinion of this?

Multi-Platinum Singles

Platinum Singles

Gold Singles

Hmm I think Gold is with 500,000 downloads no?

Shane!

uh, no. gold is SINGLE sales. like the hard copy ones

sGabe4

isn't it like: downloads + sales = 500K = Gold

SHADE 45

That list is complete ********, don't listen to any of it

Nirvaηa

ok 500k then? well updating

Nick

It's hard because they've changed their standards since digital downloads first started. At the beginning the gold/platinum statuses were lower, but now they're higher...so even the list on Wikipedia is very wrong. You have to basically look at the symbol next to the song on the Billboard charts at this point since the RIAA hasn't updated their single certifications in ages it seems.

Nirvaηa

Well it's so confusing because I put the singles with digital donwloads and in Billboard appear that Digital Downloads Certification are:

100,000 - Gold
200,000 - Platinum
400,000 - Multi- Platinum

Well I will change the title for US Platinum, Gold Digital Singles

!!!

You can look at the Hot Digital Songs every week, I think that's easier than waiting for a RIAA update.
