Amaqiniso Okumangalisa Ngendlela Imboni Yokuqopha Ilawula Ukuthengisa
Nakuba ezinye izinhlangano zilandelela ukudayiswa kwe-albhamu, i-RIAA iyinhlangano yokuqala yokwenza kanjalo futhi iqhubeka iwukuphela kwenkampani ehlomisa ukulandelela amaphesenti angu-100 wokuthengisa kwe-albhamu yomculi.
Umlando we-RIAA
Eyasungulwa ngawo-1950, i-RIAA yaqala ukuqinisekisa ama-albhamu egolide futhi yenza isitifiketi sayo sokuqala se-platinum, esekelwe ekuthengiseni kwangempela, ngo-1976. Ngo-1992, i-disc ngayinye kwisethi yama-multi-disc eyabalwa njenge-albhamu eyodwa ebheke isitifiketi se-platinum. Ngenxa yezinguquko ezinkulu endleleni ama-albhamu engokwenyama akhiwa ngayo - nezinguquko ngendlela abathengi abathenga ngayo umculo ngenxa yamathrendi yobuchwepheshe - isimo se-albhamu ye-platinum siyahluka, kuye ngokuthi isitifiketi senziwe nini.
Yini eyenza i-albhamu "i-Platinum"
E-United States, isitifiketi seplatinum sisho ukuthi i-albhamu idayise amakhophi ayizigidi ezingu-1 noma ukuthi umuntu oyedwa uthengise amakhophi ayizigidi ezingu-2. I-RIAA ifake isitifiketi se-multi-platinum ngo-1984 ukuvuma i-albhamu yokuthengisa ephakeme kunezigidi eziyi-1; lo mhlangano uphinde unikeze isitifiketi se- "Diamond" sama-albhamu athengisa amakhophi ayizigidi ezingu-10 noma ngaphezulu.
Kodwa i-RIAA ayiqinisekisi ngokuzenzakalelayo ukuthengisa umculo. Ukurekhoda amalebuli afuna idatha yokumaketha kufanele acele kusuka enhlanganweni. Ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthengiswa kwerekhodi, i-RIAA iqhuba ukuhlolwa kwama-albhamu angokwenyama athengiswa ngolwazi olufakwe kwisitatimende sombuso somculo . Izitatimende zezintandokazi zihlanganisa isitolo sokuthengisa kanye nokuthengisa okuqondile-kuya-abathengi - njengezinhlu ze-mail-oda - ukubuyisela izinzuzo.
Izwe ngalinye eliqoqa idatha kwi-albhamu yokuthengisa ine-albhamu yayo ye-albhamu ye-platinum.
I-Platinum Certification Ukunemba
"I-Hype" iyinxenye ebalulekile ekudayiseni umculo, futhi ukwengeza isitifiketi seplatinum ekukhangiseni nasezintweni zokuxhumana zomphakathi kungasiza ilebuli yerekhodi ukuthengisa ngisho nama-albhamu amaningi. Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1970, amalebula agxila ekuqinisekisweni kwe-platinum ngokusekelwe ema-mail, ngisho nalapho ama-albhamu angaphezu kwamaphesenti angama-50 abuyiselwa. Ukuze uthole ngokunemba okukhulu, i-RIAA iqalise ukubusa kwezinsuku ezingu-30, okudinga ukuthi ama-albhamu athengiswe okungenani izinsuku ezingu-30 ngaphambi kokuba ilebula yerekhodi ingasifaka isitifiketi.
Iqiniso lokuthi inhlangano ibala i-disc ngayinye kwisethi ye-multi-disc iphinde idale ukungafani - nesimo se-platinum esingabazeki - phakathi kwezinhlangano ezibala ukudayiswa kwe-albhamu, njenge-Nielsen SoundScan. Amarekhodi okurekhoda athatha ithuba lokudala ukuzithengisa ezithengiswayo ezithe xaxa, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kunembile yini, njengoba no-Sony enza ngo-1995 nge-albhamu yama-multi-disk i- HIStory kaMichael Jackson. I-soundtrack ye-Lion King nayo ibhekene nokuhlola okufanayo nge-hype esekelwe esimweni esingafaneleki se-platinum.
Ukuqoqa Izinombolo
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi i-RIAA iqoqa idatha yayo ngayiphi indlela, inikezela isimo se-platinum kuma-albhamu wolimi lwesiNgisi athengisa amakhophi ayi-1 million nama-albhamu athengisa amakhophi ayizigidi ezimbili noma ngaphezulu athola isimo se-multi-platinum.
I-RIAA iphinda iqoqe idatha yama-Albanian-language albums kanye nemiklomelo ye-platinum kulabo abathengisa amakhophi angu-60,000 noma ngaphezulu. Ama-albhamu wolimi lweSpanishi adinga kuphela ukuthengisa amakhophi angu-120,000 ukuthola isimo se-multi-platinum.
I-RIAA yaqala ukulandwa kwe-digital nokusakaza umsindo ukuze kunqume isimo se-platinum ngo-2013. Inhlangano iphinde ibone ukusakaza kwevidiyo kudatha eqoqayo ukuze kunqume isimo se-platinum. Esikhathini sobudijithali, imifudlana engu-100 yamahhala ibalwa njengokuthengiswa okulodwa kokuthengiswa kwesitifiketi.
