Record Awards

People often asks about record sales and the status of specific albums - gold, silver, platinum etc. It's a very hard question to answer as specific numbers are seldom available. Even with the advent in 1991 of 'Nielsen SoundScan' data in the US, those numbers don't include pre-1991 sales, and that's when Alice Cooper was/were selling the most albums. You can't even reliably judge by gold or platinum records. These awards have to be requested by the issuing record company and paid for, and while in the 70s they were a good source of publicity, especially in industry publications, there is little motivation for a company like Warner Brothers who own most of the big albums to pay out for them now Alice isn't signed to them.

There's also the differing number of albums required to receive certification in differing territories. For example while Platinum in the US is one million copies, in the UK it's 300,000, and other countries set the amount at other figures.

The chart below is what the RIAA listed in 2001 just after Warner Brothers DID get some of the old albums certified. Obviously since then all the albums have sold many more copies. Note: Just because something isn't listed does not mean sales haven't reached the specified number. It just means it hadn't been certified.
