Music recording sales certification is a system of certifying that a music recording has shipped a certain number of copies.

Almost all countries follow variations of the RIAA certification categories, which are named after the precious materials gold, platinum and diamond (silver is also used in some countries). The number of sales required for these awards varies depending on the population of the territory in which the album is released. Normally they are awarded only to albums released at least nationally and are awarded individually for each country in which the album is sold. Additionally, different sales levels may exist for different music media, such as albums, singles, or videos.

Originally applied to LP records, certification is now most commonly awarded for compact disc sales. Certification is usually awarded cumulatively, and it is possible for a single album to be certified silver, gold, and platinum in turn. An album that becomes platinum at least twice over is said to be "multi platinum". Artists can also become multi-platinum sellers if they have at least two albums in the same territory both going single platinum—therefore meaning that they do not have an individual album selling these amounts.

A. Not really. You have to think that, besides a long period of huge success, the Beatles are still selling records. We're talking about a band that has been selling records for 40 years. Piracy is not a big issue for them because most of those who want Beatles' records pay for them. It's about market value, Beatles' records are valuable, 40 years of popularity proves that. In comparison, marketing products have amazing peaks of success but short life. The peak is bigger just because the market is bigger. While it lasts, their records are valuable but mostly due to marketing pressure. After that, they fade away fast and you can see the real value, their records don't sell and they feel like they're hurt by piracy. But the truth is that they' [cont.]
