Y'know, the funny thing is, I've made a dozen records this past year that have been released by independent labels that sold at least that much - sometimes many times that - and they never see any Billboard notoriety. What gives?

Those folks at the RIAA need to re-think the number of units required to earn Gold and Platinum certification...
Those are some scary figures.

I hate to think what the sale figures will look like in another 5 years.
