Who cares?!

A diamond certification in 2019 cannot, does not, and will not EVER compare to a diamond certification from any music released pre 2005
A diamond certification in the streaming era is technically half if not more than less of the total value it carried pre-2005.

I just really wish the industry would adjust the certification label they place on certain sales thresholds for example, it's nearly impossible for most albums released to even scan 500k pure sales which is still considered only Gold. Shouldn't the recording industry adjust that to platinum. Same goes for platinum certifications.. at this point they should also rename a million seller MULTI-platinum. Considering only a handful of releases can scan even 1m PER YEAR... back in the day an established act selling merely 1m would be considered a flop.. and a GOLD certification might even get you DROPPED from a label..
