I don't understand why do you erase the Madonna updated certifications. You are wrong. Madonna has:
26x Gold singles
6x Platinum singles
2x Multi-Platinum singles
The RIAA database show those certifications:

The Following list is wrong and incomplete:
1 - Where's is Michael Jackson?
2 - Until 1988, Gold single was 1 Million sold/Shipped. With this rule the table change. The beatles outsold Mariah...
Please Change.
It says here: "Traditionally, an American RIAA-certified gold record was a single or album that sold 500,000 units (records, tapes, and/or CDs). A platinum record was one that sold 1,000,000 units, representing typically four or five times greater sales than a gold record."
I may be missing something, but where does the "four or five times greater" come in? Should it not be TWICE as many? Even if a lot of sales go by unnoticed, that same percentage should be unnoticed no matter whether they're being counted for a gold or a platinum album. Also, by the time it got to four times greater sales, it would be going DOUBLE platinum ... right?

It says that The Eagles' Greatest hits had 29X platinum. Why isn't it 2X diamond or something? — Akrabbim talk 14:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Because Diamond is not a precise certificaiton, like if the album would have sold 20 000 000 copies it would have the same certification than another that sold 29 000 000 copies, even if this one has sale 9 million times more. That's why they use the platinum system for high selling album, like they could use the gold one, thats even more precise but numbers would be too high. yornitsuj 10:35, 24 october 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.217.75.180 ( talk)

Under "Artists with most Gold, Platinum and Multi-platinum singles" #10 Billy Joel is said to have 1 gold and yet is ahead of #11 Aretha Franklin who has 15 gold albums. I'm guessing this is some kind of typo however I was unable to find a comprehensive source for anything under the singles section. Hopefully someone whit more knowledge and skills in this domain can fix this. ASA-IRULE 22:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
This page claims that Insane Clown Posse's The Tempest is the best selling album in the United States, with a ridiculous number of albums sold. Obviously a malicious edit; any way to revert to what it was before? 71.108.124.162 01:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC)A skeptic
The Eagles are mentioned as selling 29 million copies of Hell Freezes Over (which sounds right to me, btw; last I checked it was 28 million); but they're not even in the best selling album table. That table really needs to be checked over for vandalism. 67.170.212.250 02:01, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Eminem as of this day does not have a Diamond certified album, but there are several pages on wiki which state so, none with any source. Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem Show both sold many albums, but is only certified 9x platinum in the US as of June 2007.
Just because an artist sells over 10 million copies doesn't mean they are issued a Diamond certification. There is criteria that has to be met, and it is up to the Artist's people to submit the Artist, pay a fee, prove sales criteria, etc. to the RIAA to receive the certification. So saying that an Artist is an RIAA Certified Award winner is FAR different than how many copies an album, single, video, or even total units, have sold!! Please don't assume the Artist is a Diamond award winner based on copies sold or post accordingly. If you'd like to know how many Diamond Awards were handed out, go to the RIAA's website and look. There aren't that many, and Eminem is NOT one of them. --Chÿna 21:14, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but where is Thriller (album) by Michael Jackson in Diamond sales part? AFAIK it is one of best selling album of all time both all over the world and in USA, isn't it? And where is noted above Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) by The Eagles?
It is unclear for me what is this whole Diamond sales part about if there is no such (and maybe some others) best selling albums there? 77.120.129.111 00:02, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
There is no need for this list here. The information is at List of best-selling music artists.

As you probably already know Thriller 25 has been released and billboard are saying that its sales in america will be added to those of the original album. [1] This means that the platinum X27 will increase soon. Realist2 ( talk) 23:29, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
The RIAA website has this album selling 6 million copies, this article lists it as selling 19. The band total of 54 million looks a bit fishy as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.240.42.138 ( talk) 06:07, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Counting each disc as a separate unit if the set is over 100 minutes in length may be the current rule, but it wasn't in the nineties when they first started counting double albums twice. Pink Floyd's The Wall, for example, is about 81 minutes, but it's double counted. It went from 11x platinum to 22x platinum in 1997. 74.77.222.188 ( talk) 00:37, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
I've gone to the site that is copied on this post, and it is copied correctly, but the data is simply incorrect. How can Mariah Carey not be listed in the list of Gold and Platinum albums when she is listed on the bottom of the page as having the second most Gold and Platinum albums out of any artist in history? She also received the Chopard award for selling more tha 100 million albums, but is listed over here as having sold 61.5... what gives? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.57.238.48 ( talk) 23:12, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
I have done much research on exactly how many albums Jay-z has sold, the total is 32,056,000....not including singles.

On the "Records" section, there's a sort problem on the rightmost column of the right table.
Click on Multi-Platinum and you get the numbers as follows: 10,11,12,13,14,15,1
Click again and you get: 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,27,24,1.
Can anyone fix this? Thanks

In the "Diamond sales" section, "The beatles" album is the top one. However, the Beatles article states something else on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles_(album)#Sales : "The Beatles has outsold all other Beatles album releases except Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band and Abbey Road, according to United World Chart".

This page is a load of bollocks, fair play, what's with the list of best-selling artists? Its all wrong, and the same with the albums. Unless the best-selling albums is in no particular order, which it must be. Because the Dark Side of the Moon has sold tonnes more units than the Wall. And the same with the units of sales with the Beatles, 170 million, I don't think so! Its over a billion and as if Gareth Brooks is gonna be the second best-selling artist of all-time, and the people adding to this page are taking most of their sources from in wikipedia! The think the list of best-selling artists is the US, or an example, but I think the public would prefer accurate infomation, agreed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.165.237.53 ( talk) 16:49, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Note that I intend to remove the detail on artists award levels for the following reasons:
The diamond awards detail can be moved across to the best selling albums page. Any objections to this should be noted here on the discussion page. Eight88 ( talk) 19:52, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem released May 23, 2000 was certified Diamond by the RIAA and has sold 19 million copies,but is absent from the list of diamond records. I dont know how to edit the page but this should be added. It also sold 1.76 million in its first week. It is the fastest selling album ever,so I think it should be on the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.176.63.140 ( talk) 00:32, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
The RIAA certification search page mentions Latin Gold and Platinum certification, but no information about it anywhere. I assume this has replaced the Spanish-language certification mentioned in this article – the reference for that section is now a dead link. Does anyone know about this award, and whether the criteria are the same? snigbrook ( talk) 14:16, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

bon Jovi has 150 singles rewarded(total fro platinum gold and multiplatinum) Bon Jov the album has a reward fro 20 illion sales. All of theyre albums are gold platinum adn multie platinum(i work with the RIAA this is my sons account long story) and welost the reliable source info about alot of things so for the editors read this and see if you want to put it on teh page. It is 18 gold 18 platinum and 18 multie platinum albums 50 gold 50platinum and 50 multie platinum singles-- Bonjovi332 ( talk) 13:45, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Skoch3 ( talk) 21:25, 2 April 2011 (UTC): The tables currently have a column "total" = sum of gold, platinum, multi-platinum. This total doesn't make sense, because a multi-platinum album also counts as gold and platinum. I think the column should be removed.

How can Mariah Carey not be listed in the list of Gold and Platinum albums when she is listed on the bottom of the page as having the second most Gold and Platinum albums out of any artist in history? She also received the Chopard award for selling more tha 100 million albums, but is listed over here as having sold 61.5... what gives? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.57.238.48 ( talk) 23:12, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
I have done much research on exactly how many albums Jay-z has sold, the total is 32,056,000....not including singles. With singles he's said to be over 60 million but it doesn't look like these totals include singles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.149.157.174 ( talk) 22:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
On the "Records" section, there's a sort problem on the rightmost column of the right table.
Click on Multi-Platinum and you get the numbers as follows: 10,11,12,13,14,15,1
Click again and you get: 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,27,24,1.
Can anyone fix this? Thanks

I'm also finding this problem. It doesn't seem to be resolved, and I have no idea how to fix it. Anyone know how?

In the "Diamond sales" section, "The beatles" album is the top one. However, the Beatles article states something else on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles_(album)#Sales : "The Beatles has outsold all other Beatles album releases except Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band and Abbey Road, according to United World Chart".
Can anyone correct the wrong info? Thanks

This page is a load of bollocks, fair play, what's with the list of best-selling artists? Its all wrong, and the same with the albums. Unless the best-selling albums is in no particular order, which it must be. Because the Dark Side of the Moon has sold tonnes more units than the Wall. And the same with the units of sales with the Beatles, 170 million, I don't think so! Its over a billion and as if Gareth Brooks is gonna be the second best-selling artist of all-time, and the people adding to this page are taking most of their sources from in wikipedia! The think the list of best-selling artists is the US, or an example, but I think the public would prefer accurate infomation, agreed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.165.237.53 ( talk) 16:49, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Note that I intend to remove the detail on artists award levels for the following reasons:
The diamond awards detail can be moved across to the best selling albums page. Any objections to this should be noted here on the discussion page. Eight88 ( talk) 19:52, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem released May 23, 2000 was certified Diamond by the RIAA and has sold 19 million copies,but is absent from the list of diamond records. I dont know how to edit the page but this should be added. It also sold 1.76 million in its first week. It is the fastest selling album ever,so I think it should be on the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.176.63.140 ( talk) 00:32, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
The RIAA certification search page mentions Latin Gold and Platinum certification, but no information about it anywhere. I assume this has replaced the Spanish-language certification mentioned in this article – the reference for that section is now a dead link. Does anyone know about this award, and whether the criteria are the same? snigbrook ( talk) 14:16, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
There's a section for multi platinum but what about singles that did better than just 2 times platinum. Lady Gaga has two 4 times platinum singles. Shouldnt there be columns for 2,3, 4 times platinum?-- Love.Game ( talk) 12:26, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
There is proof that bon jovi has singles and won them but not all are in the bon jovi search. I am the user RIAAcertification and i work for the RIAA i am sorry of this offended any of the moderators.-- Bonjovi332 ( talk) 18:36, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Skoch3 ( talk) 21:25, 2 April 2011 (UTC): The tables currently have a column "total" = sum of gold, platinum, multi-platinum. This total doesn't make sense, because a multi-platinum album also counts as gold and platinum. I think the column should be removed.
