Confused about Gold Cerfitication

[Jondalar]

According to this, Dreams and Go Your Own Way should be cerftified gold, but they are not digitally. Dreams is for vinyl. Landslide is certified for digital.

Does this mean when Edge sales 500K officiallly its not going to be given any credit? Sorry, but I'm a raging bitch when it comes to her solo career.

Can't remember for sure now but I think singles had to reach a higher number for gold & platinum status (i.e. 1 mil for gold, 2 mil for plat) than albums since this was set up back in the days when singles outsold albums.
