J. Cole had both Born Sinner and Cole World move over the platinum mark too according to these rules. Big Sean went platinum too and there's probably a bunch of artists that will go at least gold .

I don't like this shyt at all, artists that can't move units don't deserve to get propped up

A big name like Drake or Adele gotta say something about this

they changed the rules because CD sales have been over the last ten years

The changed the rules to reflect commercial activity, that's what the billboards are trying to reflect. Technology kids, google it.

Universal posted increased earnings for 2015 on the strength of streaming.

The only problem with that system is that singles are given too much weight in the formula that calculates the equivalence.

This change had to happen.

Anybody know what the updated RIAA certification is for Taylor Swift's album.

That's it? All this Barbz shyt and that's it?

Going from Gold to Double Platinum is a HUGE JUMP.

 

[↓R↑LYB]

That shyt barely even went gold.

United States (RIAA)[119] 2× Platinum 682,000[59] How you double platinum with only 700K sold?

I think they count streams as sales now
