Going For The Gold (Album)
Think it’s easy for an artist to break through in 2018? According to one recent estimate, there were 150,000+ albums released in 2017 that sold at least one physical or digital copy. We decided to review Gold & Platinum album certifications for albums released since January 1, 2017 through June 13, 2018. Here’s what we found: only 58 albums have achieved a Gold certification or better. That’s it. Check out this exclusive list of talented artists and the record labels who help make it happen.
