TDE's CEO Says RIAA's New Gold & Platinum Certification Rules Are "B.S."
“We Don’t Stand Behind This RIAA BS”
Some folks aren’t too thrilled about the new certification rules of the RIAA, particularly Top Dawg Entertainment CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith. Yesterday, RIAA’s CEO Cary Sherman announced that streaming will now come into play with platinum and gold certifications. Under the new policy, every 1,500 audio or video streams will amount as one album sale. TDE’s CEO hopped on Twitter to express his thoughts on it:
we don't stand behind this @RIAA bs. ole skool rules apply, 1 million albums sold is platinum.until we reach that #, save all the congrats.
