Well thats kinda what Gaga did with MR before Superbowl. She performed it several times and at important events (where it went straight to number 1 on iTunes) but radio and streaming were missing. Its a hit thanks to the Superbowl. Sales were great though, but these days its hard for Gaga to have a hit when radio and playlists are not on her side

Radio and streaming was missing due to one huge factor: Payola. Before the Superbowl, MR had no payola at all and it was obvious radios did not want to play MR because PI was simply a mistake. TC didn't have payola and it was obvious. Radios these day also focus greatly on payola. I mean, LWYMMD dropped 10+ positions within one week. If that's not payola I don't know what is. Demi's Sorry not sorry is rising on radio fast so suddenly now due to payola. Streaming relies heavily on payola. The more payola, the more playlists you're on. I mean, Gaga is a fking big artist but they put random people on TTH but not Gaga. TC was on TTH because of payola. Taylor's singles were No.1 on TTH because of the huge payola this era. She wasn't even on Spotify back then and she's suddenly no.1 on TTH for both LWYMMD and RFI. I mean, her streaming power really isn't as strong as we think it is. What Gaga needs next era is to payola her way up to the charts. Yeah yeah who cares what people think. Everyone does this nowadays. Taylor, Justin and heck even Adele does it (c'mon Hello was played EVERYWHERE on radio and it was obviously because of the huge payola). I'm sick of other fanbases thinking Gaga can't produce hits anymore while the reality is she sells greatly but other artists just payola their asses up the charts. Who the heck is even Post Malone

BTW is currently at 97,956,663 Spotify streams, so 2,043,337 to go before 100mil. BTW gained by 78,493 streams yesterday. At that rate, BTW will become Gaga's 10th 100mil streamed song in around 26 days.

RIAA posted on IG too, so definitely not a mistake

why can't they certify everything eligible while they're at it?? 

it's understandable for Just Dance and THE FAME if they're waiting for that Diamond but for other songs and album esp ARTPOP 

Perhaps, they are waiting for ARTPOP to go Diamond

could it possibly be RIAA forget to add ARTPOP as Platinum in their website but they've actually awarded plaques to Interscope back in 2014 when they implement the SPS system?? is that even possible?
