When did Music Canada start certifying records Gold, or Platinum?[edit]

According to the Music Canada website, under Gold/Platinum we read...

  • "Music Canada’s Gold/Platinum Certification Program was launched in 1975 to celebrate milestone sales of music in Canada."

However, searching through old publications, two stand out. (And I'm quite sure that there are many others...)

First, from Cashbox 1970-09-26, Page 49... [1]. Under the Heading Canadian Gold For WB, Atl. LP's, we find out that TWELVE albums from the Warner Brothers/Atlantic family of labels have been certified Gold in Canada(50 000 sales). And this is from 1970.

Second, from Cashbox Cash-Box-1972-01-28-OCR-Page-0051.pdf, Page 51...[2], we find out that...

  • "The Guess Who is Canada's biggest selling record group, with seven gold records plus a platinum disk to their credit.". And this is 1972.

I'm sure further investigation of old publications will reveal many more records that received Canadian certification BEFORE 1975.

This is reminiscent of French Certification, where Gold Certification began in 1973. But the website snepmusique.com only goes back as far as 1976, and even though omits dozens of certified records from the 70's and 80's. 197.83.246.171 (talk) 15:02, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
