The Recording Industry Association of Japan Debuts Certifications for Streaming

In keeping with the times as far as how music is consumed, the Recording Industry Association of Japan has began to certify songs for streaming, just how it does for physical shipments and digital download sales.

However, unlike physical shipments and digital download sales, the streaming certifications will have their own levels, due to the higher amount of streams compared to the other two formats. They are as follows:

Silver: 30,000,000

Gold: 50,000,000

Platinum: 100,000,000

Diamond: 500,000,000

The RIAJ will give out certifications based on streaming data from Amazon Music Unlimited, Apple Music, AWA, d Music, Google Play Music, HMVmusic powered by KKBOX, KKBOX, LINE MUSIC, Rakuten Music, RecMusic, and Spotify.
