Quantity All versions count once toward certification. On-demand streams on digital music services that are authorized by and reported to the record labels, whether paid for by the consumer through a subscription or free to the consumer through ad-supported services, will be accepted for RIAA certifications.

Average minimum running time is 30 minutes. Recertified at each million unit sales level. Due to the radical changes in the way physical albums are manufactured—and changes in the way that consumers buy music due to technology trends—platinum album status varies, depending on when the certification was made.
In the United States, platinum certification means that an album has sold 1 million copies or that a single has sold 2 million copies. But the RIAA does not automatically certify music sales. Record labels that want the data for marketing purposes must request it from the association. Royalty statements include both retail store and direct-to-consumer sales—such as mail-order catalogs—minus returns. Each country that collects data on album sales has its own platinum album criteria.
In the late s, labels latched onto platinum certifications based on mail orders, even when more than 50 percent of albums were returned. For greater accuracy, RIAA introduced the day rule, which requires albums to be on sale for at least 30 days before the record label can seek certification. The fact that the association counts each disc in a multi-disc set also creates discrepancies—and questionable platinum status—among entities that count album sales, such as Nielsen SoundScan.
The Lion King soundtrack also faced similar scrutiny for hype based on debatable platinum status. No matter which way the RIAA gathers its data, it awards platinum status to English-language albums selling 1 million copies; albums selling 2 million copies or more receive multi-platinum status. The RIAA also collects data on Spanish-language albums and awards platinum status to those selling 60, copies or more. Spanish-language albums need only sell , copies to receive multi-platinum status.
As technology trends progressed, the RIAA began including digital downloads and streaming sound to determine platinum status in In this situation, if you play your cards right, you may end up with some serious fame fans and wealth. It takes dedicated and smart work to become succesful, that is. Well, there is a catch, if you want to make this kind of money you need to have at least one hit in the billboard hot As a songwriter or producer you should allow yourself to be creative and figure out new ways of income plus how to network efficiently.
A few examples of ways to generate an income are: live gigs, selling beats, writing film music, producing songs for artists, ghost production, jingles and releasing music under your name.
In comparison with the rest being a YouTube, star is something relatively new but then again considering the rapid evolution of technology; you may argue this already exists for a lifetime.
There are many artists that are considered stars with big international success. One relatively recent example is Lil Pump the young and famous rapper who mainly got his fame through YouTube.
The iconic artist. These artists have set the example for most young professionals. The old-timers have created a very strong foundation on which they continue to build on even today. These are the artist we all grew to love.
An example of old times casing in on their past success is The Beatles. Apple Corps , a multi-armed multimedia corporation which was founded by The Beatles to replace their earlier company Beatles Ltd, negotiated royalty rates of 45 percent on their CDs and vinyls plus a 50 percent for digital downloads ; this is out of the norm tbh.
What these bands and artists have achieved and many more of course is absolutely magnificent, they should be an example for every modern artist. There are different superstars in every decade as they are different dominating music genres present in the charts. The superstar status is quite desirable, prestige, wealth, glory, extravagance but also hard work, dedication, love for the arts, skills, talent, and much more are needed to achieve the superstar status.
You can always negotiate a better deal. As I have mentioned before the number of payments will vary, and the figures presented above are merely a guideline, a rough estimate. When you calculate the amount of money, the artist should receive you have to remember that an advance is often given from the record label to the artist to cover general and studio costs.
If the artist wants to receive an income from royalties, he must first pay back the advance.
