Guys... I was just at the Idol sales thread at MJ and someone provided the link to RIAA. I searched for WWFM, it is not there. Have RCA never submitted the song to be certified as Platinum? Coz when I did the search using his name, Adam Lambert, only listed the album, FYE stated as Gold. What I also don't understand? How do they measure sales, by shipment or actual sales? Someone brought up that they've already certified Daughtry new single as Gold while the actual sales less than half of what it should be. So.. going back to FYE, does it mean that the labels have not reached 1mill shipment of FYE after these 2 years? I meant we know that in the past they gave the Platinum certification to Taylor Hicks eventhough his actual sales was only 700K somethings. Why can they do that to Adam?  Here's what's on their website. www.riaa.com/goldandplatinum.php?content_selector=certificationThe Process
The certification process begins with an independent sales audit of each title by Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman, a highly respected accounting firm that has been auditing title sales for the RIAA® for more than 25 years.
The audit calculates what product has been shipped for sale, net after returns, versus product used for promotional purposes, for the life of the release. When certifying audio and music video releases, the independent auditor is careful to survey the entire music marketplace. An artist's Gold® or Platinum® award represents sales through retail, record clubs, rackjobbers, and all other ancillary markets that legitimately distribute music. Once a title’s sales has been audited and verified as having reached requisite levels, a formal certification report is issued and sent to the title's record company.
We are often asked why we don’t just use sales figures from SoundScan. SoundScan measures over-the-counter sales at music retail locations, while the RIAA®'s certification levels are based on unit shipments (minus returns) from manufacturers to a wide range of accounts, including non-retail record clubs, mail order houses, specialty stores, units shipped for Internet fulfillment or direct marketing sales, such as TV-advertised albums. Another difference is that SoundScan's archive only begins in 1991, while the RIAA has tracked artists' sales levels for more than 50 years.
The RIAA® certification program is open to member and non-member companies. RIAA® certification entitles the authorized record company to purchase official RIAA® award plaques bearing the trademarked RIAA® hologram seal from licensed plaque manufacturers.
All certification audits are conducted for a fee. If multiple sales levels are simultaneously certified, only one audit certification fee is charged. Companies requesting their initial certification audit must incur any travel expenses by the RIAA®'s independent auditor. The charge for certifications is $350 for RIAA® member companies. Non-members are charged $450 per certification, which must be pre-paid. Companies will be charged the full audit certification fee for any requests that do not meet the Gold® and Platinum® Program requirements. A 30-day time limit is set for pending certifications. If a full audit cannot be completed within this time, a charge of $100 will be rendered to member companies and $200 to non-member companies.
Requests for audio and music video certification may be made to the RIAA®. Companies must submit one copy of the audio or music video product upon certification request. All versions of the title's catalog must be represented. Sooo... Can I assumed that RCA has been a slacker and has not submitted WWFM for Platinum certification? What about FYE??? Is it possible that the shippment of FYE haven't reached 1mil yet? |

After pondering on it Adamme I think RCAEd said they know Adam reached Platinum but never submitted it to be certified because it would just be a waste to have a shiny plaque when the money can be used for other things. FYE album has shipped platinum abroad but it's stalled out at 830K here. |

They asked RCAed about that on AO last year. He said they didn't care about those types of awards and that they would submit them for certification when Adam wanted to and not before. Well something like that anyway. Seemed to be along the lines of they only wanted to submit once and not for the little blips on the way to higher numbers. So I think they use the term platinum selling vs platinum certified. |
