Thanks for everyone's input to my question. I would think in order to be certified Gold...it would have to actually sell that many. Otherwise, a record label could ship out 500,000 cd's everytime they want to promote a band and say it's Gold. What if the cd's sit on the shelves in the stores and don't sell? Then it would be unfair to say your cd is Gold when it really isn't.

I'm not dumping on Ab here just so you know, or trying to take anything away from them but I'm just trying to understand how it all works. Maybe a label saying a cd is certified gold is different to the RIAA gold certification??
I have no clue, lol.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
