It does not.

LMAO.

But on the ohter hand, artists are getting paid for streams, so it makes sense.

They didn't give cert for Rebecca Black? She should be eligible for at least gold.

This is only fair, back in the day they used to count jukebox plays for the charts, a song streamed is a song listened therefore a song "consumed" so it should count for certifications.

RIAA is only keeping up with the times if not their info would not represent the reality of the music industry.

This.

Might as well start letting radio airplay count for certifications too.
