Gold/Platinum Albums

Post by cooperrocks » Sun Dec 18, 2022 5:19 pm

Hey Dennis,

I have a question for you. It is been years since there has been a certification/recertification of Alice's albums original band and as a solo artist. I know the last I heard years ago Greatest Hits had sold over 2 million copies here in the United States but has only been certified platinum. I don't know if that sort of thing matters to a recording artist or not but I like to see bands get the credit they deserve. Do you know the status of any of that in terms of potential recertifications on the projects you worked on or if none are eligible at this time how many more sales are needed? Just curious about all of that.

I haven't checked into that for two reasons.
I believe an award is a lot more appreciated if I don't make any effort to solicit it.
Warner Bros, and I assume most any other company, notifies us when an award is due. I know that sounds like naive thinking, however, Shep keeps tabs on sales on our behalf.
