[Buy The Stars✨]

Since Bran left Atlantic I think Ryan is struggling getting them to update everything. At least this got updated for its digital certification.  So many Starz be on him and Sonja about the certifications, but don't realize that only the labels can reach out to RIAA to audit & even then as in this case they'll only update the digital.

so how can they get an accurate amount? thats not really fair to only update digital. 

Labels have to provide data from sales report & the sales system as well as the below to the RIAA:

Label Copies for all UPC's (Album requests) or ISRC's (Digital Single requests). Sometimes referred to as a 'one-sheet,' 'white sheet,' 'product report,' or 'product metadata,' a label copy is a report for every UPC/ISRC containing information about the album or track, such as: Artist, Title, Version Description (e.g.  Album, Radio Edit, Remix, Live, Acoustic, etc.), Product Number (UPC/ISRC), Runtime, Credits, etc.

That's why labels rarely update certs when an artist leaves or they'll only do certain albums or songs.  Ms. Sonja said in 2020 Bran's team was trying to get everything updated (Atlantic, Epic, RCA/Chameleon) so since there is only 1 digital cert after almost 3 years makes me think Ryan is struggling with the labels.

Yeah I remember her saying that awhile ago. It sucks its taking this long. You would think it's just a quick call to Atlantic or something but I guess not.
 
Though, I feel like someone some time ago dropped the ball with the certs. Ain't mo way that her last cert prior to live again was 2005 ish smh

After the application process I know some artists have stated the auditing process by RIAA is what really takes long. For example, 'Love Again' was eligible for 'Gold' in 2021, but the process wasn't finished until 2022. That only got updated bc his label applied & not eOne.

thanks for the info.  that makes more sense.

Does digital include streams as well?

Because I feel like this should be triple or quadruple platinum.

Digital includes streams, digital sales (iTunes, Amazon, etc..) & I believe YouTube views from an official video & I think official lyric video.

Oh wow, I feel like with all that combined it should be at least 2 x Platinum

How in hell was this not platinum? It's easily her second biggest single in terms of impact.

Remember back then she more of album seller than singles artist. Ppl were more buying albums than singles tho but this is only digital I think.
