ummm first thing lets state the obvious...RIAA has NOTHING to do with RADIO! like that is completely out of the damn equation! how dumb are you....it doesn't matter if the song is on the radio i.e...Rihanna's Man Down wasnt a radio hit but it's 2x Platinum...why? well look at the sales and streams. so as far as any payola on the radio front has nothing to do with the RIAA. not ONE certification has anything to do with radio. if you dont hear a song as much maybe it's because the public are streaming it or bought it so there is no need to promote/play it as much. certifications are from the RIAA not Billboard. This is why a "Man Down" can be double platinum peaking at #59 and some other radio hits peak at #8 and can't scan GOLD.
