Elton John certifications
Hi Ssshaane, just wanted to leave you an explanation, in case you think I'm hounding you... the RIAA certifications you were adding for Elton John's singles were effectively the same thing as the certification already in the table. At that time during the 1970s, RIAA awarded a gold certification for one million sales and platinum for two million sales. In 1989, RIAA halved the sales levels required for certifications, so a gold certification was now 500,000 sales and platinum one million sales. But RIAA stated that any record released and certified before 1989 could be re-certified at the new levels. So "Island Girl", for example, sold one million copies in 1975 and was certified gold for that amount in December that year. After 1989 those one million sales now qualified to be re-certified as a platinum disc... but it's for the same million sales in physical copies.

RIAA's website is a big problem because every sales level they show for certifications before 1989 is wrong – if a record was certified in gold in 1984, the sales level is still shown as 0.5 million instead of the correct figure of one million. This is a serious error on their part, but there's no way of contacting them to get them to correct it. Wikipedia is coded to show the correct sales amount, providing the correct "certyear" parameter is entered in the certifications table. Richard3120 (talk) 18:37, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
