The global music industry typically awards recordings with certification awards based on the total units sold, or shipped to the retailers. These awards and their requirements are defined by the various certifying bodies representing the music industry in various countries and territories worldwide. The standard certification awards given consist of Gold, Platinum, and sometimes Diamond awards, in ascending order; the UK also has a Silver certification, ranking below Gold. In most cases, a "Multi-Platinum" or "Multi-Diamond" award is given for multiples of the Platinum or Diamond requirements.
Requests for audio and music video certification may be made to the RIAA®. Companies must submit one copy of the audio or music video product upon certification request. The following information must also be made available:
Music Company
Music Label
Artist
Title
Configuration (single, shortform, album or music video)
Level (Gold®, Platinum® and/or Multi-Platinum™)
Selection or Catalog Number
Release Date
Billing Contact & Address
Here is the draft letter to the RIAA to certificate my music video. If I need to follow all the rules of the certification and get a right permission of the certification company for publishing my music video to some online networks.
Probably it would be good idea to put my music video to some popular resources where people can watch and estimate it. We have already put the video on the Youtube. I would like to show my music video on the MTV TV channel. This is a popular all over the world music resource.
