Q) How does a disc become Platinum / Gold / Silver in UK?
A) This has varied through history. Once upon a time, a single had to sell a million copies to go Platinum. But now the figures are:
Singles: Platinum - 600,000 copies / Gold 400,000 copies / Silver 200,000 copies.
Albums: Platinum - 300,000 copies / Gold 100,000 copies / Silver 60,000 copies.
So I Think 100K in US is 500K - 550K in US
