NOT ANYMORE...  

The way it looks, very few artists will ever get a gold or platinum plaque. Some of my favorite artists of all time have those things hanging in their house. By the way, what did Outkast get for going Diamond???
I never aspired to sell a million, and I never made the type of music that would sell that amount, so it doesn't effect me, but think about all those kids that wish they were pop stars- what kind of future will they have??? LOL.


At this point it is not about selling music, it is about giving away music, and working with other companies to market music. Good music will prevail. People will come to shows. People will buy T-Shirts. The plaque is that weird holy grail that will fade way into the past like Tab soda...
