  • The Weeks At Top 40 gives an idea of the longevity of a hit while the certificate shows which singles were big sellers by the end of the chart run.

  • A Gold Single is awarded by RIAA and requires the single to sell over 500,000 copies.

  • A Platinum Single is awarded by RIAA for singles that sell over 1,000,000 copies. Additional certificates will be awarded for each additional 1,000,000 copies.

  • When initial certification is platinum, the singer will also receive a gold single, so he/she gets two certificates.
