Belgian single certifications for 2008
Considering BRMA's original website does not make any distinction between albums and singles, I believe these are the missing thresholds for October 2008 onwards:
- Gold: 15,000 (international) and 10,000 (national).
- Platinum: 30,000 (international) and 20,000 (national).
If you check their March 2010 archive, no changes were made in the meantime either. Hope this helps. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 17:07, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
- @GustavoCza: Can you please give a concrete example where the certifications shown are not what you expected? We had quite a number of discussions already on the subject, which you can find archive. Muhandes (talk) 08:24, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- If you take "Viva la Vida", for example, the table shows it was certified Platinum, but the sales field is empty. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 12:13, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- @GustavoCza: You're referring to the uncertainty around certification thresholds for singles released between November 2007 and May 2009. The consensus is that the source you cited pertains to albums, as it explicitly states "ventes d’un album". You can see what the BEA article says about singles here—this is also the basis for the current template.
I believe the issue is that the certification levels appear to have changed sometime between this document and this one, but the exact date is unknown.
You can find past discussions on this issue, such as this one, among others. Note that BEA was established in February 2008, so the period of uncertainty corresponds with the transition between organizations. Muhandes (talk) 13:24, 13 May 2025 (UTC)- Would finding the IFPI report from 2008 solve this issue? I can try it. GustavoCza (talk • contribs) 16:45, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- @GustavoCza Any reliable source that sheds light on single certification in that period will help. Muhandes (talk) 20:12, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
