The description Gold Album is applied to recorded music albums that have sold a minimum number of copies.A larger number of sales qualifies for the award of a Platinum Album. Similar awards are also less commonly quoted for individual recordings (singles) and videos.
The number of sales required for these awards vary depending on the population of the territory in which the album is released. Normally they are awarded only to albums released at least nationally, and are awarded individually for each country in which the album is sold.
The original 'gold record' awards were presented to artists by their own record companies to publicise the achievement of one million sales. For example, Elvis Presley received one of these for the single Hound Dog in 1956. However, several different thresholds have been in use at different times and places for both album and single awards. Some of these were based on units sold and others on the value of retail sales.
This has led to controversy over how to determine the placings for the biggest selling artists of all time, and claims that some gold albums should be disregarded or even retrospectively withdrawn although they were legitimately awarded at the time.
In the USA, gold (and platinum etc) album awards have been certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) since 1958. The RIAA issues trophies to the artists to reflect their achievement. Since the most recent rule change in 1975 a gold album has been awarded for 500,000 album sales. The platinum album award was added in 1976, and at one million sales exactly matches the original concept of a 'gold record', although with the increased market it is arguably less of an achievement. Other awards have been added subsequently. For other awards and thresholds see RIAA certification.
In Australia, gold and platinum albums are certified by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). In 2003 the thresholds for albums are 35,000 sales for gold, and 70,000 for platinum. For music videos including Audio Visual DVDs gold represents 7,500 sales, platinum 15,000.
In Ireland, awards are certified by the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA). In 2003 the thresholds for albums are gold 7,500 sales and platinum 10,000. For singles three categories are recognised; Silver is 7,500 sales, gold 10,000 and platinum 15,000.
In Germany, the recognitions are given by the record labels, who report to the IFPI Deutschland/Bundesverband Phono. The thresholds for Gold are 150,000 albums or 300,000 singles; To get Platinum, 300,000 albums or 500,000 singles have to have been sold. (2003)

Platinum is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Pt and atomic number 78. A heavy, malleable, ductile, precious, gray-white transition metal, platinum is resistant to corroding and occurs in some nickel and copper ores along with some native deposits. Platinum is used in jewelry, laboratory equipment, electrical contacts, dentistry, and anti-pollution devices in automobiles.

Notable Characteristics
The metal is a beautiful silvery-white when pure, and malleable and ductile. The metal is corrosion-resistant. The catalytic properties of the six platinum family metals are outstanding (hydrogen and oxygen explode in the presence of platinum). Platinum's wear- and tarnish-resistance characteristics are well suited for making fine jewelry.Other distinctive properties include resistance to chemical attack, excellent high-temperature characteristics, and stable electrical properties. All these properties have been exploited for industrial applications. Platinum does not oxidize in air at any temperature but can be corroded by cyanides, halogens, sulfur, and caustic alkalis. This metal is insoluble in hydrochloric and nitric acid but does dissolve when mixed as aqua regia (forming chloroplatinic acid). Common oxidation states of platinum include +2, +3, and +4.
Applications
Platinum is used extensively in jewelry, wire, in making crucibles for chemical use and for constructing high-temperature electric furnaces. Finely divided platinum is often used as a chemical catalyst. For example, platinum is used in catalytic converters for automobiles and in various industrial processes, such as the manufacture of sulfuric acid. Other uses;
- The metal can absorb large quantities of hydrogen gas and will release it when heated. It is therefore been studied as a possible storage medium for the gas for use in fuel cell vehicles.
- The chemical industry uses a significant amount of either platinum or a platinum-rhodium alloy catalyst in the form of gauze to catalyze the partial oxidation of ammonia to yield nitric oxide, which is the raw material for fertilizers, explosives, and nitric acid.
- Platinum supported catalysts are used in the refining of crude oil, reforming, and other processes used in the production of high-octane gasoline and aromatic compounds for the petrochemical industry.
- This metal has a coefficient of expansion that is almost equal to soda-lime-silica glass and is therefore used to make sealed electrodes in glass systems.
- Alloys of platinum and cobalt have excellent magnetic properties. One alloy that has 76.7% Pt and 23.3% Co, by mass, is forms an extremely powerful magnet.
- 90/10 Platinum/osmium alloy is used to make pacemakerss and replacement valves and other surgical implants.
- Used for coating missile nose cones, jet engine fuel nozzles, and other devices which must perform reliably at high temperatures for extended periods of time.
- Fine platinum wire glows red hot when exposed to methyl alcohol vapor acting as a catalyst that converts the alcohol to formaldehyde. This phenomenon has been commercially used to make cigarette lighters and hand warmers.
- Cis-platin, [PtCl2(NH3)2], is a drug that is effective in treating certain types of cancer which include leukemia and testicular cancer.
History
Platinum derives from the Spanish platina meaning "little silver".Naturally occurring platinum and platinum-rich alloys have been known for a long time. Though the metal was used by pre-Columbian Indians, the first European reference to Platinum appears in 1557 in the writings of the Italian humanist Julius Caesar Scaliger (1484-1558) as a description of a mysterious metal found in Central American mines between Darién (Panama) and Mexico ("up until now impossible to melt by any of the Spanish arts").
The Spaniards named the metal "platina," or little silver, when they first encountered it in Colombia. They regarded platinum as an unwanted impurity in the silver they were mining, and often discarded it.
Platinum was discovered by astronomer Antonio de Ulloa and don Jorge Juan y Santacilia (1713-1773), both appointed by King Philip V to join a geographical expedition in Peru that lasted from 1735 to 1745. Among other things, he observed the platina del pinto, the unworkable metal found with gold in New Granada (Colombia). British privateers intercepted Ulloa's ship on the return voyage. Though he was well treated in England, and made a member of the Royal Society he was prevented from publishing a reference to the unknown metal until 1748. Before that could happen Charles Wood independently isolated the element in 1741.
Platinum is now considered more precious than gold, so that a platinum award is better than a golden one.
The standard definition of a metre for a long time was based on the distance between two marks on a bar of platinum-iridium housed in Sevres. This metal is also used in the definition of the Standard Hydrogen Electrode.
Occurrence
Platinum is often fond in a native state and the ore sperrylite (platinum arsenide, PtAs2) is a major source of the metal. A naturally occurring platinum/iridium alloy is platiniridium and this metal is also found in the mineral cooperite (platinum sulfide, PtS).This metal is often accompanied by small amounts of other platinum family metals which are found in alluvial deposits in Columbia, Ontario, the Ural Mountains, and in certain western American states.
Platinum is produced commercially as a by-product of nickel ore processing. The huge quantities of nickel ore processed makes up for the fact that platinum makes up only two parts per million of the ore.
Isotopes
Naturally occurring platinum is composed of five stable isotopes and one radioisotope, Pt-190, which has a very long half-life (over 6 billion years). There are also many other radioisotopes with the most stable being Pt-193 with a half-life of 50 years.Precautions
This metal doesn't normally cause health problems due to its unreactive nature but all compounds of platinum should be considered to be highly toxic.
