I hope when Gaga releases her single they don't come at us calling it flop because it's not a platinum, when now they're getting platinums by releasing things for free... This is kind of good for the music itself, but it's not for those good albums that didn't get any recognition or a platinum in the past. If ARTPOP was given away for free at its time then it would've been platinum too, and that's what I don't like about the new RIAA rules. ARTPOP is actually eligible for platinum actually with this new rule incorporating streaming. Let's just wait for interscope to move their asses...

People talk **** about certifications being this and that and in fact they are the ones who are trying to make certifications look like something you should push to the other stanbases faces as receipts their fave is better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artists are giving albums you for free, who cares if it will be certified or not? if you all claim music not the bling why do you even give a **** if it will be certified for a reason or not. btw. this isn't about you personal but people in general In 2012 when Gaga mentioned idea of free albums all monsters were praising her for idea, and now giving free albums is smething negative?

Let's just wait for interscope to move their asses... Its true. They will probably wait to certify it the same week of a new single release or album release to get more press. They could probably certify C2C as platinum too. About a month ago MJ's album Thriller was the first album ever to reach 30x's platinum not even two months later and its already certified at 32x's platinum.

I don't think CTC has that much streams/song sales, but they could definetly update her singles certifications aswell (even based on only sales) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KURUSHITOVSKA 20,451 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 With this free music thing, arent they loosing money? If they're loosing money, that can only reflect in more expensive tickets for the tour... So if this ends up with Gaga giving her single/album for free then maybe her tickets will be more expensive. ¿Qué currículum tiene ésta tarántula?

Sincerely, I'd feel like Gaga was cheating to acquire a recognition that she didn't truly deserve if she was to give her next album for free (which, now that @just4fun reminded me of her partnership with Intel, became a more palpable possibility)... Idk, reading people's points here, seems like the industry has evolved and this certification system is starting not to make sense anymore, so wouldn't it be better to just put an end to it...?

Those albums could have collected dust on store shelves or stock rooms. They could have been used as firewood. At least the "free" albums of today measures people who actually want the album. People are actually listening to the free albums they downloaded.
