Certification
Process
RIATT’s intention is to set our own industry
standard and target for CD sales.
This will be achieved by the introduction of a Certification
Process in Trinidad and Tobago.
Artists, Groups and Bands will be awarded with a
wall plaque in the shape of a record or CD showing number of Albums
or Singles sold with reference to specific recordings.
What will be a gold record in Trinidad and Tobago?
Gold status is achieved by reaching a minimum number
of record sales.
However different thresholds for "gold"
are due to population differences in respective countries.

500,000 copies.

100,000 copies.
