Kim Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 PLATINUM BY PHONE: The RIAA has altered its rules and will be counting the 1 million copies of Jay-Z’s forthcoming album purchased by Samsung toward platinum certification. “Going forward,” the org has declared on its site, “sales of albums in digital format will become eligible on the release date, while sales of albums in physical format will still become eligible for certification 30 days after the release date.” The RIAA has reportedly told some in the biz that only U.S. customers (including those living abroad) will have access to the album through the Magna Carta Holy Grail app, yet according to the online terms, the giveaway is available in "Australia, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Germany, France, South Africa, Austria, Canada, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom" as well as the U.S. How many of those who download the album will be outside the U.S.?

Kim Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Counting Digital Singles and Digital Albums for G&P: A Common Sense Update By now, many of us in the music business, as well as Jay-Z fans, know that Samsung has purchased one million “Magna Carta Holy Grail” digital albums to be given away to the phone maker’s customers. It is a novel and creative marketing move and it has rightly stimulated a healthy conversation about the sale’s meaning and implications for the modern music business. For us, the move prompted a re-examination of our historic Gold & Platinum (G&P) Program award rules. As we dug through the records of audits, re-reviewed rules and consulted with our auditing firm of more than thirty years, Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman, we discovered one rule disparity that no longer makes sense. One of our program’s requirements is that an album can become eligible for certification 30 days after release date. (There are other rules, of course – such as requiring that the price of the album meet certain requirements.) The 30-day rule exists to take into account potential returns of physical product – CDs, cassettes, vinyl, etc. that could be shipped to brick and mortar retailers and returned, in which case our auditors do not count the sales. When we first created the Digital Single Award in 2004, we elected not to impose any 30-day rule because there are very few digital returns. According to our auditing firm, digital returns on average account for less than two percent of sales included in reports provided by the labels for certification – most digital retailer Terms of Use/Service allow users to return products only under limited circumstances. Also at the time in 2004, sales of digital albums were virtually non-existent and accounted for a small fraction of overall digital sales. Fast forward a decade and that’s obviously no longer the case. We think it’s time for the RIAA – and Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman – to align our digital song and album certification requirements. That’s why today we are officially updating this rule in our G&P Program requirements. Going forward, sales of albums in digital format will become eligible on the release date, while sales of albums in physical format will still become eligible for certification 30 days after the release date. Not only do we believe it’s sensible and logical to align digital album rules with those we have maintained for digital singles since the program’s inception, we also consider today’s move in line with our larger efforts to modernize the G&P Program to reflect the new music marketplace. In May we announced the integration of on-demand streams to the program to more broadly recognize online demand for songs. The reality is that how fans consume music is changing, the music business is changing as labels and artists partner with a breathtaking array of new technology services, and the industry’s premier award recognizing artists’ commercial achievement should similarly keep pace. In short, we’re continuing to move the 55-year-old program forward and it’s a good day when music sales diversification and innovative strategies meet the RIAA’s time-tested, gold standard requisites for certification.

hotboy06 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Finally, people are seeing the light. The music industry HAS changed and now artists are trying "inventive" ways to sell their music. I don't see anything wrong with what Billboard or RIAA is doing tbqh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aed05 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 So his album will be certified platinum, but it won't debut at #1 by default? Ok, I can get with that if that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I'm not a huge fan of Jay-Z.. much respect for him though... and I want to get into his albums but then I think "ehh they're from the 90s" and that turns me off (i don't like pre-2000s rappers) Did Jay-Z know he could have made prolly Diamond if he did this with iPhones or did Apple say "no" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illi Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Nobody cannot say Jay-Z doesn't personify business savvy, but I just think he's artistically overrated. I also cannot stand how people worship him... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSimba Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 He has a unique, fitting voice for rap, but I find him a tad overrated too. I see him more as a businessman. That said, "Can't Knock the Hustle" is one of my favorite hip-hop songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
