charts discussion Italy increases its certification thresholds, debut bundles

[Riot]

Starting from 2022, the Italian charts will have new certification thresholds for singles:

• Gold certifications will start at 50,000 units sold (increased from the 35,000 units needed before);
• Platinum certifications will start at 100,000 units sold (increased from the 70,000 units needed before);
• Diamond certifications will start at 1,000,000 units sold (increased from the 700,000 units needed before).

 

The certifications thresholds for albums and compilations will remain the same (25,000 for Gold; 50,000 for Platinum; 500,000 for Diamond).

 

FIMI (Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana) will include bundle sales for the Album and Singles charts. To be counted as an album sale, a concert ticket which includes an album must have a 20% higher cost than a normal concert ticket without the bundle. The same rules will apply to merchandising with bundles.

right, in that case €6 for a CD is a great deal

[BOAZ]

I know who won't benefit for this: italian pop girls, who will probably never see a certification again cause our industry is shamelessly male oriented

Most of international pop girls can barely scrap gold here, so yeah, it will be even harder now

Alessandra Amoroso is coming for those bundles with her upcoming stadium tour, QUEEN

Our streaming market is still growing pretty fast, in less than a year it'll be as easy as it is now to go Gold with a single! Certifications aren't meant to be too easy to achieve or else they'll become worthless, imo. I'm not saying Korea-level hard to achieve, but also not 50+ per week.

The charts are already misogynistic, now women are doomed for good.

Una strada per l’allegria and AleAleAle next singles coming for diamond 

[KillingYourCareer]

Also no idea why they keep the Diamond certification when no one has come remotely close to reaching it since they stopped counting free streams in 2018 serving digital era US singles

[SlowGinFizzzz]

Are they trying to sabotage Ms. Baby K??

"Mi fai impazzire" got a 6x Platinum certification in 5 months, but now I think that it isn't going to reach Diamond anytime soon

I mean her solo stuff is probably doomed but she's the queen of collabs and summer singles so she can still smash with the right single

100k units seems like a high threshold for their current music market tbh. Good thing Prisoner got it's plat certification before this.

Well Dua certificates everything she releases and Camila just achieved a platinum solo single, they'll take longer now obviously but they'll be fine

 

Italian pop girls meanwhile

Don't Go Yet did good here though, and Dua is the it girl rn, I'm talking about the ones who aren't that big in Italy to begin with!

Well, it's still going strong so there's still a small chance.

[gustavothehuman]

Touring bundles huh? Perched for my faves to get some diamond albums 

[Totami Legend]

Poor Giorgia, she used to get every single certificated.

 

Laura Screamini can't releate. She never sold singles to being with
