Ok traccee its not a big deal, so lets not discuss this any longer. Just lemme tell u one more thing. Songs on itunes even in the 300s and 400s sell pretty well, and RB was back in the 200s when OG was reigning. I think u underestimate the sales below the 100s, but its alright i'm sure Billboard will reveal its sales one day
Do you know how much a song sells in the 500s or so? I asked that before but no one knew for sure.
It shouldn't be that hard. They've both been pretty steady where they are for the past few days and WMN? should get a grammy boost if she's (obviously since she said with Drake) performing it. OG's at what? Like 2.6? I really don't even know. #Failstan
How does a songe get a certification? Does RIAA or BPI automatically do it once a song goes past w/e it needs to go past or is it the Label that has to request it?

Quote:
* Along with minimum sales figures, a number of other criteria accompany each title for certification. The list and table below describe what titles and types of sales can be considered for the awards.
* Each company that requests RIAA® certification must be a firm or corporation that has headquarters in the United States and is engaged in the legitimate production and sale of sound recordings.
* Recordings become eligible for certification 30 days after initial street date. Audio and music video titles may be requested for award certification starting 30 days after product is commercially available to consumers.
* Only domestic sales and sales to U.S. military post exchanges may be included. The requesting company must separate PX sales from other accounts on sales sheets. Export sales outside the United States are not included in certification.
* Club sales and club free goods may be included towards certification. Product shipped to retail, mail order, record clubs, TV marketing and other ancillary markets are combined toward certified sales. All shipments to these accounts must be verified by the label.
* Promotional radio and press copies, cut-outs, inventory sell-offs and surplus sales are not included toward certification.
* Catalog product, specifically pre-1972 album releases, are eligible for certification by meeting either the unit shipment or manufacturer's dollar requirement for each award level.
