Woah, when did music downloads start earning songs gold/plat/etc ratings? I thought it was all about the disc sales.

Like... more than ten years, if we comes to RIAA certification?

Gotcha. Apparently that wasn't the case for Japan in 2015.
Heck, just a few months ago for this article the only mention of gold certification was for an album that sold 100,000 discs.
Selling a $10-$15 dollar CD single is much more difficult than selling a $4-5 digital download. That's why I was wondering when/how this changed. I'm pretty sure the Kemono Friends song sold a ton of CD copies as well, so it's not like I'm against it being gold certified, just perplexed at the change.

Congratulations to PPP for their song being gold-certified!  It was quite an adorable melody to hear.
