  • What is pleasing to me is that BTS journey shows..

    "Success tastes sweeter than sweet when it is on stairs not on elevators"


    And As Min Yoongi said,

    "Your Beginning may be humble but your journey may be prosperous"

    In "So Far Away"


    From being a group who entered BB hot 100 in their 4th year of Career at #67 to an Act who claimed #1 position on bb hot 100 with back to back comebacks.


    No matter what other says it is *Mostly* their relentless hard work.

  • For me it’s more annoying riaa wants money for just updating certifications. It’ll be different if the artiste requests for a plaque but why do they have to pay for the plaques by force

    RIAA needs to audit the sales and streams, so they have expenses related to each certification.

    Are you sure the audits are that expensive?? I mean we even have Twitter accounts that can actually calculate riaa units. I doubt it’s that difficult to do. Also other countries update it for free. It will be a different case if every country was making artistes pay for the certifications but that’s not so. I still think the payment is largely because of the plaque not necessarily because of the audits

    Certifications are actually pretty cheap but stop it should be automatic like most countries... RIAA should strike up a deal with the labels.



    To cover the time and expense incurred by our certification and audit teams, we require the following fees:

    • RIAA member companies: $350 per certification
    • Non-members: $450 per level of certification (must be prepaid)

    Please also note:

    • Any requests that do not meet the Gold & Platinum Program requirements will still be charged the full audit certification fee.
    • If multiple sales levels are certified simultaneously, the audit certification fee is only charged once per title to RIAA member companies. Non-member pay per level of certification requested.
    • If your company is requesting your first certification audit, we require that you also cover any travel expenses by our independent auditor.
    • A 30-day time limit is set for pending certifications. If a full audit cannot be completed within this time, $100 will be rendered to member companies and $200 to non-member companies.

    Its not about calculation only, its about verifying the underlying numbers. Nielsen for example doesnt give out data for free. And even if someone simply validates the data for certification in a couple of hours, it already probably costs at least 350$ in labour expenses, taxes etc.


    Other countries organizations are probably financing this at the expense of something else.



    And to be honest, I think some of these "eligible for" numbers probably arent accurate, not BTS specifically, but in general.
