Elvis had eight gold LPs and Ray Charles had one. Show. The RIAA is a trade association made up of U.S. record companies.Gold Record Awards were established by the RIAA in 1958. Over the course of his career, he amassed mountains of info on sales of records and his book is the best I have found for the type of numbers you are looking for.I have used this books for decades and no matter how weird some of his data seems, I invariably find it proves reasonably accurate.That said, NOBODY kept accurate sales tallies for records in the ’50s or ’60s.
Since then, the RIAA awards are considered the only “official” awards. I didn’t give ANY advice on buying, selling, or collecting RIAA Gold Record Awards. Just to save time, it was purchased from Apple record private auction that Paul Autographed for me along with two gold awards.Three were U.S> and three gold were from Europe. By the end of 1964, sales were approaching 4,000,000 copies, and by the end of 1966, sales were approaching 5,000,000 copies! 3 In 1957, RCA Victor announced that Elvis had sold 12,000,000 singles the year before. I can find estimates of how many copies MEET THE BEATLES has sold FOREVER, but I’m really more interested in how many copies various albums sold in the first six months or year after release.The data on MEET THE BEATLES came from Joseph Murrells’s book “Million Selling Records from the 1900s to the 1980s.” Murrells worked for the BBC for years before going freelance. As the price rose, the number of records required to reach the RIAA gold standard declined.
My offer still stands: write me a good piece about the ins and outs of authenticating RIAA Awards and I’ll happily post it. The work of the organization included oversight of copyright issues, working with various unions, and carrying on research “relating to the record industry and government regulations.”The RIAA also established universal standards for such technical aspects of recording as the equalization curve and how stereophonic record grooves should be cut. The prices took effect on the first day of 1955.RCA president Frank Folsom said he was convinced the record industry was on the threshold of its greatest period of expansion:“Introduction of the 33 and 45 rpm records in 1949 greatly increased the number of record players. They noted that less than 10% of those singles were 78s. refers to seven-inch, 45 rpm records with one track per side. But there are two reasonable choices: $9.98, the highest price associated with double-albums (and twice that of a standard single-record album), or a middle price such as $7.98.• If the album listed for $9.98, then it would have had to sell 304,000 copies to qualify for an RIAA Gold Record Award in 1968.• If the album listed for $7.98, then it would have had to sell 417,000 copies to qualify for an RIAA Gold Record Award in 1968.For this astounding accomplishment, it received the same RIAA Gold Record Award as every other album that sold $1,000,000 at the wholesale level. The focus is on the awards from 1958 through 1974, during which tA lot of changes have occurred since, especially for albums; this article notes a few but not in the detail it deserves.There have been so many changes for the definition of a “unit” when counting multi-record sets that it would require an article of its ownMost websites screw up the information when mentioning Gold Record Awards for albums. And the record company is not obliged to state on the award where the records were sold.For some reason, the RIAA took an interest in all of this and instituted their own Gold Record Awards program that began in February 1958. During this time, we can assume that any LP that was awarded an RIAA Gold Record sold approximately 650,000 copies.With the elimination of the practice of releasing new albums in both mono and stereo in 1968, most new LP sales were stereo with a list price of $4.99. PS: For an LP to qualify for an RIAA Gold Record in the ’60s required more than 750,000 copies sold.
