Provided by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), this site offers a database of gold, platinum, multi-platinum, and diamond record sales awards, "the longest-running objective measure of achievement for sound recordings in the United States." At the site, users will find recent record sales headlines, a brief history of the awards, a pull-down menu listing of monthly awards since they began in 1958, and a keyword search engine with multiple options and modifiers. These include title, artist, label, format, award, and dates. Results include artist, title, certification date, award type, format, and label. Both title and label usually link to additional information and the label's homepage, respectively.
